Judahites
Judahites were the descendants of the tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This tribe is significant in biblical history, as it is associated with the lineage of King David and, according to Christian tradition, Jesus Christ. The territory of the Judahites was located in the southern part of ancient Israel, known as the Kingdom of Judah.
The Judahites played a crucial role in the history of the Jewish people, especially during the Babylonian Exile when many were taken captive. They maintained their cultural and religious identity, which contributed to the development of Judaism. The tribe's legacy continues to influence Jewish culture and religious practices today.
