The original seat of government was in the Temple at Jerusalem. The original "government" was a theocracy (rule by God; or at least his servants on earth). Saul was anointed King by the request of the people, even though they were warned it would bring suffering.
There weren't two Kingdoms during the time of Saul. The nation didn't split into Judah and Israel until after Solomon. At that time there were two capitals. Judah's in Jerusalem, and Israel's in Samaria. There were many kings of both kingdoms...

You skipped a few hundred years. And at that time, there was one kingdom.
