What were the dates of these two events? How were the people governed during this period? What were the three subdivisions of this period? Under whom did the kingdom become an empire? What was the extent of its empire? When did the division of the kingdom take place? What was the result of the division? How many were the kings of the Ten Tribes? With what event, and at what date, did the kingdom of Is'ra-el end? How long did Ju'dah last after the fall of Is'ra-el? How many kings reigned in Ju'dah? By what people was Ju'dah conquered? To what city were the Jews carried captive? Name three representative persons of the period of the kingdom. PART FIVE V. In the closing period of Old Testament history we find the tribe of Ju'dah alone remaining, and during most of the time under foreign rule; so we name this the =Period of the Jew'ish Province=. 1. It extends from the beginning of the =Captivity at Bab'y-lon=, B. C. 587, to the =Birth of Christ=, B. C. 4.[2] 2. During this period Ju-de'a was a subject land, except for a brief epoch. This may be called, therefore, the =Foreign Administration=, as the rule was through the great empires in succession. 3. This period may be subdivided into five epochs. For the first and a part of the second we have the Old Testament as our source of history; all the rest fall in the four centuries of silence between the Old and the New Testament. 1.) =The Chal-de'an Supremacy.= Fifty years from the captivity, B. C. 587, to the conquest of Bab'y-lon by Cy'rus, B. C. 536, by which the Chal-de'an empire was ended, and the Jews were permitted to return to their land (Ezra 1. 1-3).
