AI overview
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview of "Israelites" based solely on the single caption provided. The caption only describes a map of tribal territorial allotments and mentions the Book of Joshua, which is not enough to explain what Israelites are or why they matter in a comprehensive way. To provide an accurate, neutral 2-sentence overview as requested, I would need additional source material that covers the fundamental definition and historical significance of the Israelites.

The Israelites, also known as the Children of Israel, were an ancient Semitic-speaking people who lived in Canaan during the Iron Age. They are associated with Hebrews and spoke Biblical Hebrew, an archaic Hebrew language. In the biblical myth, the Israelites were divided into the Twelve Tribes of Israel and later formed the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
