According to the Book of Genesis, Israel and his family settled in the land of Goshen, in Egypt. Four hundred years later, his descendants fled from Egypt and settled in Canaan. According to scholars, the Israelites never really settled in Egypt. In fact, they were dissident Canaanites who left the coastal cities and settled in the sparsely populated mountainous hinterland of the Canaanite region around 1250 BCE.

The two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, were collectively called Judah or Judea. See also:More about the split
After Solomon's death, Israel split into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Israel now had ten tribes and Judah had two.
After King Solomon's death, Israel separated into two Kingdoms - the Northern Kingdom of Israel which consisted primarily of 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah which consisted primarily of tribe of Judah and Benjamin. It should be noted however, that each Kingdom had members of all 12 tribes of Israel.
Ten of the 12 tribes set up their own nation in the north. It was called the kingdom of Israel and it's capital was Samaria. In the south, the other two tribes founded the smaller kingdom of Judah.
The southern two-tribe kingdom was called Judah and it consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Additional Comments: Though directly after the split in Israel with Judah and Benjamin remaining in what would be called the Southern Kingdom, the Levites (priests) were soon banned from the Northern Kingdom and went to the southern parts. As with any country of mixed peoples/tribes, there will always be some of every tribe remaining in the South due to marriage, business or just their living place.
After King Solomon, the kingdom of Israel split into two separate kingdoms - the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. This division occurred due to conflicts and disagreements among the tribes of Israel. The northern kingdom (Israel) consisted of ten tribes, while the southern kingdom (Judah) included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
After the death of King Solomon, the Hebrew nation split into two kingdoms. Two tribes, including the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Jacob's youngest son Benjamin, formed the Southern Kingdom of Israel. The other 10 tribes, centered around Samaria made up the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In the year of 722 BC, the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and sent the ten tribes into exile leaving two tribes left.
The word "Jew" derives from "Judah," one of the 12 Tribes of Israel. When the Jewish Kingdom split into two after the death of King Solomon, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed the Southern Kingdom, which was called Judea, and ruled from Jerusalem by descendants of King David. In 722 BCE the Assyrians conquered and dispersed the Northern Kingdom (hence the "Lost Tribes of Israel"), leaving Judea as the sole Jewish nation, and its people known as Judeans - or, eventually, Jews.
Rehav'am (Rehoboam), the son of King Solomon, became king over the southern kingdom, after the ten northern tribes broke away under Yerav'am (Jeroboam). The southern kingdom, known as Judah, consisted of Judah and Benjamin, two tribes, and continued until the First Destruction a few centuries later. Whereas the ten northern tribes were collectively called Israel, and went lost after their exile, which occurred about 275 years after the split (133 years before the First Destruction).
The Division A Punishment For Solomon's Apostasy The answer is found in 1 Kings 11:1-35. Because of Solomon's sin of idolatry, God gave the ten northern tribes to Jeroboam to rule and left Judah (and Benjamin... because they are closely related in the south) to Rehoboam, Solomon's son and the heir to the Davidic kingdom. Judah and Benjamin did not split off, the 10 northern tribes split off from the established kingdom in Jerusalem. Although the division of the Israelites was accomplished by means of the later foolishness of Rehoboam, it was actually decreed by God beforehand for the purpose of judgment on Solomon's sin: "And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:30And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:32 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.(1 Kings 11:29-35 KJV)The Kingdom's of Israel The United Kingdom of Israel lasted through the reigns of Saul, David and Solomon. After Solomon died, the kingdom split into two, the ten tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim and Manasseh and Benjamin of "Israel" with their capital up in Samaria, and the tribes of Benjamin (main tribe) and Judah forming the kingdom of "Judah" with their capital at Jerusalem. Based on 1 Kings 12:23, there were probably members of some of the other 10 tribes that remained in the south with Benjamin and Judah when the northern tribes split off.
The 12 tribes of Israel are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. These tribes are descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob, who was later named Israel in the Bible.
