What was the capital of Palestine at the time of Luke's Gospel?

Although David established Jerusalem as the capital of a united Israel long before Jesus came, the country later split into two kindgoms - the kingdom of the north retaining the name of Israel and that of the south being called Judah, as it occupied much of the territory that was held as the area of the tribe of Judah way back in the time of Jacob abd his twelve sons . The Kingdom of Israel (or Northern Kingdom) existed as an independent state until around 720 BC when it was conquered by the Assyrian Empire; while the Kingdom of Judah (or Southern Kingdom) existed as an independent state until 586BC when it was conquered by the Babylonicn Empire. Until these times the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel was Samaria, and the southern kingdom of Judah still held Jerusalem as its capital. In the time of Jesus, the Roman Empire had conquered both Israel and Judah (which became known by its Latin name of Judea) and the two capitals retained as administrative centres, but as they were part of the Roman Empire, the official capital city was, of course, Rome.

Which Mesopotamian empire defeated the Hebrews in Israel in 722 BCE?

In 722 BCE, the Assyrians, under Shalmaneser, and then under Sargon, conquered Israel (the northern Kingdom), destroyed its capital Samaria, and sent the Israelites into exile and captivity. Much of the nine landed tribes of the northern kingdom become 'lost'. However, what is less commonly know is that many people from the conquered northern kingdom fled south to safety in Judea, the Southern Kingdom, which maintained its independence. By this time the nation of Judah then was populated with Israelites from Judah, Bejamain, Shimeon, some of Levi, and many from all of the other tribes as well.

What is the difference between being Jewish and Hebrew?

Jews today generally call themselves Jews and consider the term Hebrews to be quaint, at best.In more detail, the Hebrews were a collection of related tribes in the middle east. Some of them claimed descent from a man named Israel, previously known as Jacob. They were called the Children of Israel or the Israelites, and they were also called Hebrews. The Israelites conquered (if the biblical account is to be believed) the land of Cannan and founded a kingdom, the Kindgom of David (there's evidence of this outside the Bible). Later, this kingdom split into a Northern kingdom, known as the Kingdom of Israel, and a southern kingdom, known as the Kingdom of Judah or Judea. The northern kingdom was wiped out by the Assyrian Empire. It's almost certain that some of the survivors joined up with the Judeans. The southern kingdom was wiped out by the Babylonian Empire (which also wiped out Assyria). After the Babylonian Empire was wiped out by the Persian Empire, the exiles who returned to Judea were known as Jews.
