Originally, "Israelite" referred to the people descended from Jacob, who was also called Israel, and traditionally organized into twelve tribes. Following the division of the united monarchy, the northern kingdom retained the name Israel, while the southern kingdom was known as Judah. Although Judah and Benjamin were the principal tribes associated with the southern kingdom, its population also included Levites and people with ancestry from other Israelite tribes. The term "Jew" derives through linguistic development from "Judah" and originally referred to people associated with Judah. However, particularly during and after the Babylonian exile, its meaning broadened. By the Second Temple period, "Jew" could refer to members of the wider Jewish people, regardless of whether their tribal ancestry was specifically Judah. This distinction is demonstrated by the Apostle Paul, who identified himself as an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin (Romans 11:1; Philippians 3:5), while also identifying himself as a Jew (Acts 22:3). The northern kingdom's conquest by Assyria in the eighth century BC resulted in deportations, displacement, and the dispersal of portions of its population. However, it is historically inaccurate to claim that all ten northern tribes simply disappeared or collectively forgot their identity. The biblical record itself describes people from northern tribes maintaining connections with Judah and Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 30:1–11). So the "Israelite" and "Jew" were not originally interchangeable terms, but their meanings increasingly overlapped over time. It is incorrect to limit the historical identity of Jews exclusively to the tribe of Judah. And Finally, ancestry and religious faith must be distinguished. Christianity teaches that salvation comes through Jesus Christ, but accepting or rejecting Jesus does not change a person's historical ancestry. Paul explicitly distinguishes Israel according to physical descent from the question of faith and salvation (Romans 9–11).so you shouldn't confuse the historical identity of ancient Israel with the New Testament teaching about who receives salvation through Christ. They are related theological subjects, but they are not the same historical question
