Definition for Northern Tribes A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Northern Kingdom: The Northern Kingdom, also known as the Northern Tribes or the 10 Tribes of Israel, were one of two nations that resulted with Israel was split due to the unwise leadership of king Rehoboam, (2 Chronicles 10; the other nation was Judah (the Southern Kingdom). The Northern Kingdom would eventually be conquered by the nation of Assyria, which deported the Israelites, forcibly dispersing them to many different areas. There is no evidence that these people ever returned in any significant numbers and as a result they are therefore sometimes called the Lost Tribes of Israel.
