The southern kingdom of Israel — where Jerusalem and the Davidic dynasty were
JudeaAfter Israel split into two kingdoms following Solomon's reign, the southern kingdom retained the name Judah (comprising the tribes of Judah and Benjamin). Jerusalem was in its territory, as were key cities like Bethlehem, Hebron, and Beersheba. The Davidic dynasty continued ruling Judah until the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC. The word 'Jew' derives from Judah. Multiple prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah) directed their message primarily to Judah.
