The northern 10 tribes of Israel had been captured by Assyria forty years earlier, their aristocracies were deported to Assyria and a new aristocracy brought in to rule the tribes.

In 587 Jerusalem was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon and was captured. Following the Assyrian technique, the Babylonians sent the aristocracy of the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin to Babylon and a new aristocracy was imported to rule the tribes and keep them quiet.

No. It was normal for the ancients to have many gods, and the Israelites were not different in that respect. If there is anything unique about the Hebrew people it is the Bible, but that was written among the people of Judah, long after the destruction of Israel.


Why was the worship of Baal so fatal for the nations of Judah and Israel?

The most fundamental principle of Judaism is the worship of the One God. The Hebrew Bible, and the prophets, reminded the Israelites of this continuously. When some of the Israelites (people of Israel and/or Judah) ignored these reminders, it constituted a vast break with their tradition; and abandonment of the entire Torah was sure to eventually follow.

How did Judah became the leader of Israelite?

Judah became a leader of the Israelites through his lineage as one of the twelve sons of Jacob, whose name was later changed to Israel. The prominence of his tribe increased after the Israelites settled in Canaan, especially when King David, from the tribe of Judah, united the tribes and established Jerusalem as the capital. This solidified Judah's position as a central figure in Israelite leadership, further enhanced by the prophetic promise that the Messiah would come from his lineage. Over time, Judah's tribe became the most influential, eventually leading to the establishment of the Kingdom of Judah.
