Babylonian Empire

הימימ א/I Chronicles 9:1
1] So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book
of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.

Yaodah was eventually carried into captivity. The Babylonians fell to the Persian Empire, under the rulership of
"Cyrus The Great" in 539 B.C.E. allowing Yaodah to rebuild the temple. However, they still remained in bondage to the Persians.
