They were taken over first by Babylon and then Persia.
The Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and destroyed the First Temple. They exiled many Israelites to Babylon, known as the Babylonian Captivity or Babylonian exile, which lasted for about 70 years until the Persian Empire overthrew Babylon and allowed the Israelites to return to their homeland.
AnswerThe Israelites were a West Semitic people, closely related to the Canaanites, Aramites and other neighbours. From about 2200 BCE, the early Babylonians were also Semitic, but not a West Semitic People. The Chaldeans, often called Babylonians, were Southern Semitic, or Arabian, people who settled near Babylon in the eighth century BCE. So, the Babylonians were ethnically close to the Israelites, but not as much so as the people of Aram, Edom or Moab, and other close neighbours of Israel.
It was the invasion by the Persian ruler Cyrus who defeated the Babylonians, and set the Jews free.
The Persian king Cyrus after he defeated the Babylonians, released the Israelites who were taken prisoners by the Assyrians He allowed them to take the temple vessels and helped rebuild the destroyed temple..
Habakkuk was inquiring from God why He sent Babylonians in order to enslave the Israelites and why it would take so long.God answered him that it was necessary to send one of the most wicked people on earth-the Babylonians in order to discipline the wayward Israelites but He also added that He would pass His judgement on the Babylonians even more severely after they served as an instrument of God's corrective action against Israelites because they deserved it due to their wicked ways.As a response to this Habakkuk said that:"The just will live by faith.",meaning that the Israelities will endure their punishment patiently aware that they deserved it and in conviction that it will all pass in due time.

The Israelites were held captive in Babylonia for several decades. The Persians had defeated the Babylonians, and inherited the Babylonian prisoners, which included the captive Israelites. So now, by order of King Artaxerxes, which we read about in Ezra 7:13, the Israelites were now permitted to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the city. This happened about 455 years before the birth of Christ.
