Why is Ahaz called the king of Israel?
We know from chronologies that Ahaz was the son of Jotham and was from the lineage of David and the Kings of Judah. Why then does the Bible record Ahaz as the king of Israel when he was clearly the king of Judah only?

    2 Kings 16:19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

    If you are a king of Judah, it is a part of the 12 tribes of Israel, which would also make him the King of Israel by that defenition because the 12 tribes are the sons of Israel. No contradiction.
