The vast size of empires often led to challenges in effective governance, as local needs and conditions could vary significantly across different regions. Communication and transportation limitations made it difficult for central authorities to enforce laws and policies consistently. Additionally, the sheer diversity of cultures and languages within a large empire could result in misunderstandings and resistance to centralized control, leading to dissatisfaction among provincial populations. This disconnect often fostered unrest and instability, undermining the overall effectiveness of provincial governance.

The area was controlled by several petty kings and tribal rulers under a Persian Empire provincial governor.
He was king of the Persian Empire and the Jews were a part of his empire, the ten tribes of the north and the two tribes - Judah and Benjamin in the south, under provincial governors appointed by him.
He did not destroy it - he took it over. This was an ambition of his father Phillip II of Macedonia, however he was murdered and his son Alexander successfully took on the project. People don't want to destroy an empire - it is much more valuable and rewarding as a going concern. The government within the Empire simply changed. Alexander retained some of the existing Persian provincial governors, replaced others with Macedonian generals. But he was about establishing good government and prosperity, not destroying.
