Kings of Israel

No real history, just a list of kings of a Jewish Israel starting in the late 7c, in a TL with no Islam and rapid Byzantine and Persian decline on OTL's schedule. Names are Anglicized where there's a well-known English equivalent. List may be filled in later with specifics.

By the time this kingdom would "take power", the Levant was vastly majority christian.

If this is not asb (I'm assuming that this is not meant to be plausible, just for fun), than what sort of ethnic cleansing was used to do this!

And was there even much Jews on this time? How this kingdom would born and what borders it would has? And I doubt that any kingdom in Middle East could last over 1300 years if it not be very powerful nation. And even then it would be difficult. Yeah, this seems pretty ASB.

My understanding is that the Levant still had a substantial Jewish population in the early Byzantine era?

My presumption in the list is that it's not a consistent kingdom, but a place subject to periodic coups and foreign colonization. From the 11c onward, these are usually purely titular kings, much like Morocco kept its royal lineage even under French colonization.

Still rather ASB, because the region would be fought over endlessly between a Syrian state (some flavour of Christian) and an Egyptian state (Coptic Christian), since the geography of the region is set up for that to happen. Neither state would ever allow the Jews to hold Jerusalem. And no way the Jews could gain the power militarily to hold the region for more than a few years, since every single nearby country would be hostile in some form (besides maybe Persia, who you say is weakened) and plus Christians were in a slight majority in the Holy Land in that era.

Although I guess they could just massacre/expel every single Christian they come across to reduce the population. Maybe they'll survive long enough to reap the "benefits" from that. It isn't like they'll ever be friends with their neighbours anyway.
