<P> The Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah were related Iron Age kingdoms of the ancient Levant . The Kingdom of Israel emerged as an important local power by the 10th century BCE before falling to the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 722 BCE . Israel 's southern neighbor , the Kingdom of Judah , emerged in the 8th or 9th century BCE and enjoyed a period of prosperity as a client state of first the Neo-Assyrian Empire and then the Neo-Babylonian Empire before a revolt against the latter led to its destruction in 586 BCE . Following the fall of Babylon to the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great in 539 BCE , some Judean exiles returned to Jerusalem , inaugurating the formative period in the development of a distinctive Judahite identity in the province of Yehud Medinata . Yehud was absorbed into the subsequent Hellenistic kingdoms that followed the conquests of Alexander the Great , but in the 2nd century BCE the Judaeans revolted against the Seleucid Empire and created the Hasmonean kingdom . This , the last nominally independent kingdom of Judea , came to an end in 63 BCE with its conquest by Pompey of Rome . With the installation of client kingdoms under the Herodian dynasty , the Province of Judea was wracked by civil disturbances which culminated in the First Jewish -- Roman War , the destruction of the Temple , the emergence of Rabbinic Judaism and Early Christianity . </P>
