Background[]
The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.
The Kingdom of Israel, also known as the United Monarchy, refers to a period in ancient Israelite history when the twelve tribes of Israel were unified under a single monarchy. It is traditionally dated to the reigns of King Saul, King David, and King Solomon, roughly from the 11th century BCE to the 10th century BCE.

The United Monarchy began with the anointing of Saul as the first king of Israel. Following Saul's reign, David succeeded him as king. David is renowned for his military successes and is considered one of the greatest kings in Israelite history. He established Jerusalem as the capital of the kingdom and brought political stability and expansion to the realm. David's son, Solomon, inherited the throne and is known for his wisdom and wealth. During Solomon's reign, the First Temple was built in Jerusalem, which became the central religious and political site for the Israelites. Solomon's reign marked the peak of the United Monarchy's power and influence. After Solomon's death, the kingdom faced internal divisions and tensions. Rehoboam, Solomon's son, faced resistance from the northern tribes, who sought to reduce the heavy burdens imposed during Solomon's reign. This led to the division of the kingdom into two separate entities: the Kingdom of Israel in the north, consisting of ten tribes, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south, consisting of two tribes (Judah and Benjamin). The Kingdom of Israel, with Samaria as its capital, retained the name "Israel" and continued for about two centuries under a series of kings. It faced political instability, religious syncretism, and conflicts with neighboring kingdoms. In 722 BCE, the Assyrians invaded and conquered the Kingdom of Israel, leading to the exile of many Israelites. The Kingdom of Israel holds great significance in Jewish and biblical history. Many of the events and figures from this period are recorded in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. The stories of Saul, David, and Solomon, as well as the construction of the First Temple, are prominent narratives within Jewish religious and cultural heritage. |

Strategy[]
For this formable you're going to have to act fast before Egypt or 
Turkey invades you. Immediately justify a war against Palestine and spawn 100K troops and place them near the Gaza Strip. Place some extra at your capital as the Palestinian troops are located very close.
Once the justification is done, declare war on Palestine and invade the Gaza Strip. After your troops have defeated the Palestinian infantry, feel free to auto-capture the rest of the nation as Palestine does not have any square cities. If Palestine is a player, blockade their capital and the Gaza Strip with your troops and wait for your entrenchment to defeat their infantry. After that use their weakened position to take the rest of the nation.
After your troops have healed from the war with Palestine, declare war on Jordan and invade their southernmost city. After your troops have defeated the Jordanian via AI luring take all of the cities except for the capital which you can select in your peace terms to avoid taking extra losses from populated cities. If Jordan is a player take a city difficult for them to reach in-time and if they either invade you or go after that city, take their capital (unless it has troops stationed there, in which you take every city except the capital and select it via force peace).
Congratulations, you have formed the Kingdom of Israel!

Trivia[]
- The Kingdom of the Israelites was the original considered formable before being replaced by the Kingdom of Israel. The only difference is that Kingdom of the Israelites would've required all of Jordan rather than part of it, and it would've had a different flag.
