The 10 northern tribes remained under their existing foreign rulership, their deported aristocracy continuing in Assyria ruling tribes there. The exiled aristocracy in Babylon of the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin were allowed to return to try to reclaim their estates if they wished. Some did and were successful. The rest had become well entrenched in Babylon and stayed there.
