The Persians established 20 provincial Persian governors to maintain security and prosperity within each province. The Assyrians exchanged aristocracies between provinces so that hostile new rulers would keep a tight and unsympathetic grip on their alien subjects.

Why did the Assyrians and Chaldeans want to rule the Israelites?
They could and they perceived that doing this was their gods' wills that they expand in every direction.Historically, there was the "Right to Conquest" which was a pervasive idea in political thought. The idea was that it was natural for any country or state to grow and control more territory as it grew stronger. This allowed weaker states to dissolve in place of ones that were better run, a bureaucratic version of "survival of the fittest". The "Right to Conquest" prevailed as the dominant theory of nation-building until the mid-1800s when people started bringing up the concept of self-sovereignty and ethnic nationalism, which held the idea that people should govern themselves even if they are not the most powerful in the world. This view of state sovereignty has become dominant today and the Right to Conquest is seen as incorrect.Since the Assyrians and Chaldeans existed well within the Right to Conquest Period, their kings did not have to assert a reason to conquer neighboring territories in Southwest Asia. It was their natural prerogative. That the Israelites happened to be in their crosshairs is a matter of circumstance and the Assyrians and Chaldeans had no particular enmity for the Israelites when compared to other Southwest Asian peoples.

How did the Muslim policy of ruling conquered people compared with the Byzantines and the Persians?
Muslims never called the people of the conquered lands as conquered people. They freed their will to have the full freedom to select the faith they are convinced in. They followed the Quran teachings and never oppressed people to convert to Islam. They treated all people equally irrelevant to their races, colors, faiths, or social status. They never imposed additional taxes on non Muslims. The only tax that is called "Jezia" was imposed on non Muslims for forgiving them from joining the military service and that is why it was not imposed on women, children, old people, or sick people.
