<P> The recovered seal of the Ahaz, king of Judah, (c. 732--716 BCE) identifies him as King of Judah . The Assyrian king Sennacherib, tried and failed to conquer Judah . Assyrian records say he leveled 46 walled cities and besieged Jerusalem, leaving after receiving tribute . During the reign of Hezekiah (c. 716--687 BCE) a notable increase in the power of the Judean state is reflected by archaeological sites and findings such as the Broad Wall and the Siloam Tunnel in Jerusalem . </P> <P> Judah prospered in the 7th century BCE, probably in a cooperative arrangement with the Assyrians to establish Judah as an Assyrian vassal (despite a disastrous rebellion against the Assyrian king Sennacherib). However, in the last half of the 7th century Assyria suddenly collapsed, and the ensuing competition between the Egyptian and Neo-Babylonian empires for control of Palestine led to the destruction of Judah in a series of campaigns between 597 and 582 . </P> <P> The Assyrian Empire was overthrown in 612 BCE by the Medes and the Neo-Babylonian Empire . In 586 BCE King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon conquered Judah . According to the Hebrew Bible, he destroyed Solomon's Temple and exiled the Jews to Babylon . The defeat was also recorded by the Babylonians in the Babylonian Chronicles . The exile of Jews may have been restricted to the elite . </P> <P> Babylonian Judah suffered a steep decline in both economy and population and lost the Negev, the Shephelah, and part of the Judean hill country, including Hebron, to encroachments from Edom and other neighbours . Jerusalem, while probably not totally abandoned, was much smaller than previously, and the town of Mizpah in Benjamin in the relatively unscathed northern section of the kingdom became the capital of the new Babylonian province of Yehud Medinata . (This was standard Babylonian practice: when the Philistine city of Ashkalon was conquered in 604, the political, religious and economic elite (but not the bulk of the population) was banished and the administrative centre shifted to a new location). There is also a strong probability that for most or all of the period the temple at Bethel in Benjamin replaced that at Jerusalem, boosting the prestige of Bethel's priests (the Aaronites) against those of Jerusalem (the Zadokites), now in exile in Babylon . </P>
