Answer:
O The Israelites held off the Assyrians and protected the Temple of Solomon.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is important to specify that it was not the Israelites, however.
After the reign of the united kingdom following Solomon, the son of David, which as successor to the first king, Saul, the kingdom was split in two, with 10 tribes going to Jeroboam (Kingdom of Israel), while the 2 tribes (Judah and Benjamin), was kept under the rule of Rehoboam, son of Solomon, son of David.
The Assyrians conquered the Northern Tribes while the Babylonians conquered the Negev of Israel. To answer the equation, Judah was able to hold off the Assyrians, and protected the Temple of Solomon.
