Some of the descendants of Shem (Noah's son) settle in Ur of the Chaldees (Genesis 11:28). Terah, the eighth generation of Shem produced after the flood, is living in Ur when he produces sons Haran (the oldest), Nahor and Abram (Abraham, the youngest son). Abram is born in 1960 B.C. when his father is 130 years old!
Haran, when his youngest brother Abram (Abraham) is 70 years old, dies (Genesis 11:27 - 31). His death is the catalyst for Terah to take most of the family (Abram, Sarah, Haran's son Lot) out of Ur to a place called Haran (located in modern Turkey). Terah lives another five years and dies at the ripe old age of 205. God, in 1885, calls Abram and co...

A united Israel is ruled by human kings from 1050 to 930 B.C. After the death of Solomon, the kingdom splits into two pieces, the Kingdom of Israel (northern ten tribes) and the Kingdom of Judah.
