AnswerNebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, destroyed Jerusalem in 586 BCE, ending the kingdom of Judah.
There are two different empires at play here. The empire that destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel was Assyria in 722 BCE. The empire that took the Jews into captivity (and destroyed the Southern Kingdom of Judah) was Babylonia in 586 BCE.
Israel was conquered by the Babylonian Empire in 587 BCE, leading to the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of many Israelites. At that time, King Zedekiah was the ruler of the Kingdom of Judah, the southern part of the Israelite kingdom.
That would be the kingdom of Israel. The Southern Kingdom was called Judah.
The two tribes that remained in the southern kingdom of Judah were Judah and Benjamin.

Judah was a kingdom that existed during the Iron Age. It was located in Asia in what is now Israel.
For a while there were the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. In 722/11 BC the Assyrians destroyed the Kingdom of Israel and turned the Kingdom of Judah into a vassal state In 926 and 927 BC the Egyptians overrun the Kingdom of Judah In 720 BC the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and destroyed it, bringing it to an end. They also turned the Kingdom of Judah into a vassal state. In 609 BC the Egyptians deposed king Jehoahaz, replaced him with his older brother, Jehoiakim and turned Judah into a vassal state which paid a heavy tribute. In 605 BC he switched his allegiance to Babylon and then rebelled in 601 BC. In 598/97 BC the Babylonians besieged Jerusalem, seized it and took 10,000 years to Babylon as slaves. In 589 BC the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem again and destroyed the city and the First Temple. More Jews were exiled to Babylon and Judah became a province of the Babylonian Empire. In 539 BC the Persians conquered Babylon, allowed the Jews to return home and Judah became the Persian province of Yehud. In 432 BC Alexander the great conquered the Perisan Empire. Judah then became part of the Seleucid Empire which was ruled by the Greek Seleucid dynasty. In 63 BC Judah became a vassal of the Romans. In 6 AD the emperor Augustus annexed it to the Roman Empire
