The former kingdom of Judah is now part of modern Israel and partly in the Palestinian Territory. Judah was a small inland enclave surrounding the city of Jerusalem and quite separate from the kingdom of Israel to its north.
Biblical tradition holds that in former times, Judah and Israel had formed a United Monarchy, also known as Israel, but noted archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein say that this was never the case. Judah and Israel were always separate and had their own separate culture, pottery styles and even their own separate dialects of the Hebrew language.

Later, the Jews were allowed to return to Judah, which had come under Persian rule.During Roman times, the name was changed to Judea.
What was the Largest army in Bible?

Before Israel was divided into the Northern and Southern Kingdoms: Israel had 1,100,000 men and Judah had at the same time 500,000 men to join forces with. 2 Samuel 24:9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel 800,000 valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were 500,000 men. 1 Chronicles 21:5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were 1,100,000 men that drew sword: and Judah was 470,000 men that drew sword. You must put the verses together to see what the scribes were saying. And [all] they of Israel were a 1,100,000 men that drew sword of which were 800,000 [valiant men] that drew the sword... and the men of Judah were 500,000 men of which 470,000 men that drew sword
