U will add this: Yahweh was first the God of southern State of Israel, for in those days Israel was divided into South and North and it is the Southern State of Israel which first adopted YHWH as their tribal God. Later Northern Israel conquered the southern State of Israel and adopted Yahweh to propitiate the South being conquered. The history of Israel is quite interesting to read and there are probably some good histories on line long and short.
