The Southern Kingdom of Judah

The Southern Kingdom of Judah is the name for the region ruled over by the descendants of the kings, David and Solomon, from around 926 BC. Its capital city was Jerusalem. There were often tensions between the Southern Kingdom of Judah and the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In 586 BC, the Southern Kingdom collapsed. The Babylonians took over the capital, Jerusalem, and destroyed the Temple.
