The Babylonian Empire.
The Babylonian exile.
The nation that threatened Judah during the time of Jeremiah was Babylonia, specifically the Neo-Babylonian Empire led by King Nebuchadnezzar. The Babylonians invaded Judah multiple times and eventually destroyed Jerusalem in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian exile of the Jewish people.
There were two early Hebrew kingdoms, Israel in the north, and Judah in the south. The Book of Joshua is the epic story of the conquest of Canaan, told from the viewpoint of Israel. In this story, Caleb and the people of Judah only played a minor role. Chapter 1 of the Book of Judges is the story of the conquest of Canaan told from the viewpoint of the people of Judah, who later became known as the Jews, although this story is in a much briefer form than the Book of Joshua. In this account, the tribe of Judah was given the lead role in the conquest, and the legendary military hero Caleb was the leader of the conquest. So, the tribe of Judah, the ancestors of the Jewish people, was portrayed as playing a minor role in the Book of Joshua.
The term "Jews" originated from the word "Judah," which in Hebrew is "Yehudah." The name change for the Hebrew people did not occur in the Bible. It is believed to have happened later, during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE, when the descendants of the tribe of Judah and other Israelite tribes came to be collectively known as Jews.
According to the Bible, the people of Israel practised idolatry at all times until its final destruction in 722 BCE. This is confirmed by archaeologists, who report finding, for example, numerous cult figures of the fertility goddess, Asherah, throughout Israel and even Judah. These cult figures only cease to be found in the period after the Babylonian Exile, showing that her worship had suddenly ceased with the Babylonian conquest.
The people of Israel were carried away by the Assyrians, 133 years before the First Destruction. They are known as the Ten Lost Tribes and their location (if any) is not known. http://judaism.answers.com/jewish-history/where-are-the-ten-tribes-where-is-the-ark-of-the-covenantThe people of Judah were taken into Babylonian captivity and were allowed to return and rebuild the Temple. Most Jews today are descendants of these Judeans, who comprise a portion of the original Israelites.
KING CYRUS THE GREAT conquered the Babylonian or Chaldean Empire and gave the Babylonian Jews permission to return to their homeland of Judah and rebuild their sacred Temple.
destroyed the city and the temple of solomon
The Neo-Babylonian Empire (also called the Chaldean Empire) led by King Nebuchadrezzar conquered the southern Kingdom of Judah in 586 BCE.
Prior to 586 BCE, the Hebrews were divided into 12 tribes. After the Babylonian Exile, most of the tribes assimilated into Babylonian culture and were lost. The surviving people were mainly from the Tribe of Judah. So they were called Judeans, which later became shorted to Jews.
