Best Answer

God's alleged reason for punishing the Jews over and over again throughout The Bible is that they were a stiff-necked people, who would not obey His command precisely. This includes sending them into captivity. Also, even as he brought them into captivity several times, he also brought them out of captivity to show what a mighty God he was.

Who was the Judah nationality?

Judah was the fourth(4) son of Israel - a Hebraic people. He and his descendants are the recipient of the 'Sceptre' promise of the Savior of Mankind - Jesus Christ. His tribe was also tasked with keeping the Scripture perfectly intact and this is known as the 'Oracles of God' in the New Testament.

Who freed the Israelites from Assyrian captivity?

The Israelites were never freed from Assyrian captivity. They adapted their religious beliefs to those of their captors and gradually blended into the culture that surrounded them, losing their ethnic identity. Their modern-day descendants are probably among the Iraqis, Syrians and other Middle Eastern peoples. The Judahites, former inhabitants of Judah, were freed from Chaldean (Babylonian) captivity by King Cyrus of Persia, and allowed to return to Judah.
