Southern Kingdom (Kingdom of Israel). It is not exactly known where Daniel was born but you can assume that he was born in the locality near Jerusalem (Kingdom of Israel). Daniel was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon when King Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem in 587 BC. Daniel was taken captive prior to the fall of Jerusalem 606 BC. At that time there were two kingdoms of Israelites and they were the Kingdoms of Judah (around Jerusalem) and the Kingdom Israel (the northern area of Israel). The end of the Northern Kingdom (Kingdom of Judah) came in 721 BC. Therefore Daniel had to come from the southern kingdom (Kingdom of Israel).
