no because by the time the Jews realised they would the y would stop doing all the destable practices and start crying to god for help and also because god vowed that the israelites would be his inheritanceso if any of the tribes were destroyed his inheritance would just get smaller.

Answer 2

The Assyrian Empire encompassed both Israel and Judea however the City of Jerusalem was never captured. (Was put under siege but the Assyrian army suffered an out-break of 'plague' and had to abandon it.)

The Assyrians were the first to try deporting hostile populations. This was done to the Israelites and they were assimilated into the cultures of Mesopotamia. The Jew, having retained Jerusalem, were able to perpetuate a cultural identity.

Answer 3

No.

The Assyrians destroyed and captured the Northern Kingdom of Israel with its capital at Samaria in 722 BCE. The Assyrian troops first under Shalmaneser V then under Sargon II conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The Assyrians marched southward to overtake the Southern Kingdom of Judah with its capital at Jerusalem. The Assyrians were under the leadership of Sennacherib in 701 BCE. During this attack, the Assyrians destroyed nearly everything, including 28 major cities and the second-most populous city of Lachish, but NOT Jerusalem. According to both the Jewish Account (2 Kings 18) and the Assyrian Account (Sennacherib's prism), Jerusalem was not defeated.

It was Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar that destroyed Jerusalem including the Temple around 587 BCE. See 2 Kings 25:1-10.
