God is frequently described as "the king of Israel" (Isa. 44:6 cp. Isa. 41:27; 43:15; Ps. 48:2; 89:18; 149:2); it follows that the people of Israel were His kingdom. They began to be God's kingdom through entering into a covenant with Him at Mount Sinai, shortly after they had escaped from Egypt through the Red Sea.
Mara nyingi Mungu amejieleza kuwa Yeye ni "Mfalme wa Israeli" (Isa. 44: 6 ml. Isa. 41: 27; 43: 15; Zab.48:2; 89:18; 149:2); kinachofuata ni kwamba watu wa Israeli walikuwa ni ufalme wake, walianza kuwa ufalme wa Mungu kwa kuingia katika Agano naye chini ya mlima Sinai, muda mfupi walipotoka Misri kwa kupitia Bahari ya Shamu.
