Judah was the southern kingdom formed after the division of Israel following Solomon's death. With Jerusalem as its capital, it was ruled by the descendants of David. The kingdom lasted from around 930 BC until the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC. The prophets Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and Isaiah ministered during its final years, warning of coming judgment.
