How long did the Assyrians fight with the Babylonians?
Why did the babylonians take the Jews into slaves?

When they came back they separated them, and not all of them believed in the same things. In 1029 bc Philistines invaded and conquered Israelity territory. Israelites agreed to have one king, but then he would have more power, so a judge Samuel helped select the first kings of the 12 tribes. The first king in 1020 bc was Saul. Because of saul they made Philistines loosen their control over them, and then when he died the other king was David. David won control over Jerusalem in about 1000 bc because he drove out the Philistines. Solomon, David's son, became the 3rd king, in about 962 bc, he was also a really strong king. He build a trading line between Phoenicia and Israel, and also build their Temple in Jerusalem. The temple was a holy place.Solomon died in 922 bc and his son took his place, The israel split into two parts, the northern was called Israel and the souther, which included Jerusalem was Judah. The southern had 2 tribes and the northen 10. The Assyrians came and took the land, than the babylonians came and took the land, the people into their slaves, and destroyed the temple.During this time the Israelites became known as the Jews, while the judah spent about 50 year in Babylon, this time period is also known as Babylonian Captivity.During that time jews werent really allowed to be really religious in their way. Prophets were people who could talk to god. Cyrus freed the Jews, and they went back to their homeland, and there they rebuild their temple, because there was almost nothing left.
