In 587 B.C., the Babylonians conquered the Israelite kingdom of Judah and what did they do
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.
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.
The fall of the Northern Kingdom (Israel) occurred in 722 BC when the Assyrians conquered it. The fall of the Southern Kingdom (Judah) occurred in 586 BC when the Babylonians conquered it. Therefore, there are approximately 136 years between the fall of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms.
Initially in 740 BCE the northern part was absorbed into the Assyrian Empire. Then in 722 BCE, the southern part and capital Samaria was absorbed. The aristocracy was deported to Assyria where it was used to rule another part of the empire, and the aristocracy there brought in to take on ruling the northern 10 tribes. The Assyrians use this technique so that conquered territories did not have sympathetic aristocracies which might promote rebellions. The Babylonians copied this technique when they later took over Judah and Benjamin in the south, deporting the aristocracy to Babylon and importing a foreign aristocracy to rule them.
During the Old Testament period, Israel was conquered by several nations, including the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans. These conquests resulted in periods of exile and subjugation for the Israelites.
The split between Israel and Judah occurred around 930 BCE after the death of King Solomon, following a succession crisis. Israel fell to the Assyrians in 722 BCE and Judah later to the Babylonians in 586 BCE.

Israel and Judah
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
A:Judah first capitulated to Babylon in 601 BCE. Babylon captured Jerusalem in 597 BCE and deported some of the residents, but its rule was short-lived. Babylon recaptured Jerusalem in 586 BCE, destroyed the temple and took many of the population captive.
The Assyrian Empire conquered the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE, renaming it as the Assyrian province of Samaria.
Assyria conquered Israel, then Babylon conquered Assyria and Judah, then Persia conquered Babylon, then the Seuclid Empire conquered Judah, then the Judeans revolted, then Rome conquered Judah, then the Islamic Caliphate conquered the Byzantine Empire (the remains of the Roman Empire). The Ottoman Empire conquered Judah from the Cusaders who had conquered it from its Islamic rulers. Then the British Empire took it from the Ottomans.
The Assyrians exiled the Ten Israelite Tribes, and the Babylonians exiled the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
Persia took over the territory of Judah when Persia conquered Babylon at the Battle of Opis in 539 B.C.E. Babylon already controlled Judah at that point. As a result, the Persians acquired the territory of Judah without having to actually conquer it themselves.
