First, the expansive territory of the kingdom called Israel in the ninth and eighth centuries BCE was geographically much larger than the area known as Israel in earlier times. This earlier, more-limited Israel shared space in the central highlands with other named entities in a way that cannot be explained by neat spatial boundaries and social hierarchies. Second, Israel of the Iron Age I was much smaller than the eventual kingdom. Groups that could identify themselves with this “Little Israel” might also, under varying circumstances, identify themselves with other named entities. When we recognize the probability of these observations, they transform our approach to and definition of what is widely treated as “early Israel.”

Biblical renditions of Israel under Saul and David are built around a space much smaller than the expanse attributed to Israel of the Joshua 13-19 territorial allotments and the distance "from Dan to Beersheba," in Monroe's Greater Israel. In Judges, Ephraim and Benjamin represent a region distinct from the more northern primary geographical interest of the collected stories, confirming the separate associations of the Israel name with kingdoms centered relatively south (Gibeah, Jerusalem) and north (Shechem, Tirzah, Samaria). These both reflect more limited expressions of a "little Israel" that offered just one of many important names identified with the region in the 13 th through the 10 th centuries b.c.e.
