JUDAH, Kingdom of. When the territory of all the rest of Israel, except Judah and Benjamin, was lost to the i^ingdom of Kehoboam, a special single name was needed to denote that which remained to him ; and al- most of nece.ssity the word Judah received an extended meaning, according to which it comprised not Benjamin only, Ijut the priests and Levites, who were ejected in great numbers from Israel, and rallied round the house of David. At a still later time, when tlie nationality of the ten tribes had been dissolved, and every practical distinction between the ten and the two had vanislied during the captivity, the scattered body had no visible head, except in Jerusalem, which had been reoccui>ied mostly by a portion of Jitdah's exiles. See Capti\'ity. In consequence, the name Judah (or .Jew) attached it- self to the entire nation from about the epoch of the restoration. See Jew. But in this article Judah is understood of the people over which David's successors reigned, from Kehoboam to Zedekiah. Our statements are cliiefly talcen from Smith's Diet, of the Bible, s. v.
I. Extent of the Kingdom.— When the disruption of Solomon's liingdom took place at Shechem, only the tribe of Judah followed the house of David. But al- most immediately afterwards, when Rehoboam conceiv- ed the design of establishing his authority over Israel by force of arms, the tribe of Benjamin also is recorded as obeying his summons, and contributing its warriors to make up his array. Jerusalem, situate within the borders of Benjamin (Josh, xviii, 28, etc.), yet won from the heathen by a prince of Judah, connected the fron- tiers of the two tribes by an indissoluble political liond. By the erection of the city of David, Benjamin's former adherence to Israel (2 Sam. ii, 9) was cancelled, though at lea.st two Benjamite towns. Bethel and Jericho, were includcfl in the northern kingdom. A part, if not all, of the territory of Simeon (I Sam. xxvii. 6; 1 Kiogs xix, 3 : comp. Josh, xix, 1 ) and of Dan (2 Chron. xi, 1 0 ; comp. Josh, xix, 41, 42) was recognised as belonging to Judah, and in th^ reigns of Abijah and Asa the south- ern kingdom was enlarged by some additions taken out of the territory of Ephraim (2 Chron. xiii, 19 : xv, 8 ; xvii, 2). After the conquest and deportation of Israel by Assyria, the influence, and perhaps the delegated ju- risdiction of the king of Judah, sometime.s extended over the territory which formerly belonged to Israel.
