jews are Hebrews but not all Hebrews are jews
Please explain the above. I see a contradiction here and need a bit of clarification just to being to understand the point you were trying to make?
simple, king david was of the tribe of Judah. so was king Solomon etc, but the king of Benjamin(saul) was also from Judah. Judea(yehud) compromise the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. the twelve sons of Jacob are all Hebrew as Abraham was the first "Hebrew" therefore all jews are Hebrews. the tribes of the northern kingdom are not jewish but Hebrew. the northern kingdom did likely speak Hebrew but might have a dialiect of it
