Joseph also did not directly receive any land; instead, Joseph’s two sons were adopted by Jacob and were each given a portion of land, thus giving Joseph a double portion (Genesis 48:5-6;\u00a0I Chronicles 5:1).<\/p>\n By territory, Jeroboam received ten tribes: Reuben, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Manasseh, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Rehoboam received two tribes: Judah and Benjamin. Levi did not receive territory, so they were never considered. However, the Levi cities were scattered throughout Israel, so some were in Northern Isreal after the split and some were in Southern Judah.<\/p>\n But when you consider the people, they moved around (I Kings 12:7). For instance, during the time of Asa, a number of families from Northern Israel defected to Judah (I Chronicles 15:9).<\/p>\n\t Response:<\/h2>\nYes, thanks for that.<\/p>\n I was aware that Levi was not given a portion of the land but they were provided for in other ways. However, before your answer, I assumed that since the southern kingdom of Judah consisted only of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, then\u00a0Levi must have been in the northern kingdom of Israel. Although, I believed that many of them would still remain in the southern kingdom\u00a0of Judah to serve as priests there. I believe that representatives from all the tribes were present in and around the southern kingdom of Judah,\u00a0albeit, in rather small numbers.<\/p>\n Thanks for those notes on the web. A very interesting read.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Questions: You fail to answer your own question, “Who are the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom?“ I was looking to see if Levi was among them but no list is given.
