So what you are saying is Saul, David, Solomon, and all the other Kings of Israel and Judah were not Kings over a sovereign nation? You need to open your eyes to Scripture.
No, over a people and even if they were, it doesnt mean this present day Israel is biblical in any sence.
Being a Jew does not mean you are the descendent of the man named Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:28) because these verses stated Jews from every nation means exactly that Jews from every nation (and not Jews from one nation called Israel) gathered in Jerusalem because during that time Jews claimed Jerusalem to be the place to worship God.
Another example in John 4:9-12, 4:19-25 showed that
not every Israelite in the Bible was a Jew and not every Jew was an Israelite. In the meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus Christ talked to the Samaritan woman who was an
Israelite Gentile; she was not a Jew.
From the references of the Old Testament, Abraham came from the Chaldeans (what we call today Iraq) traveled to the land of Canaan.
There were different tribes living in that land. Over times, Abraham’s descendants (Israelites, Edomites, Ishmaelites, etc…) co-existed with each others and the tribes’ people of that land.
There were references from the Bible that they married each others and the tribes’ people that they co-existed with. Through the many centuries of marriages, they became a component of what we called today as Arabs (because they speak Arabic).
Genesis13:15 God said to Abraham: ”All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.” God did not promise the land to the Jews, followers of Judaism, or Talmudism Jews; God promised the land forever to the seeds of Abraham.
The seed of Abraham recorded in the Old Testament were from tribes of Abraham’s descendants marrying other Canaanites tribes.
Scripture my friend read Scripture.
