JUDAH - J>@ - (praised, celebrated), the fourth son of Jacob and the fourth of Leah. (B.C. after 1753.) Of Judah’s personal character more traits are preserved than of any other of the patriarchs, with the exception of Joseph, whose life he in conjunction with Reuben saved. kjv@Genesis:37:26-28) During the second visit to Egypt for corn it was Judah who understood to be responsible for the safety of Benjamin, ch. kjv@Genesis:43:3-10) and when, through Joseph’s artifice, the brothers were brought back to the palace, he is again the leader and spokesman of the band. So too it is Judah who is sent before Jacob to smooth the way for him in the land of Goshen. ch. kjv@Genesis:46:28) This ascendancy over his brethren is reflected in the last words addressed to him by his father. The families of Judah occupy a position among the tribes similar to that which their progenitor had taken among the patriarchs. The numbers of the tribe at the census at Sinai were 74-600. kjv@Numbers:1:26-27) On the borders of the promised land they were 76,500. kjv@Genesis:26:22) The boundaries and contents of the territory allotted to Judah are narrated at great length, and with greater minuteness than the others, in kjv@Joshua:15:20-63) The north boundary, for the most part coincident with the south boundary of Benjamin, began at the embouchure of the Jordan and ended on the west at Jabneel on the coast of the Mediterranean, four miles south of Joppa. On the east the Dead Sea, and on the west the Mediterranean, formed the boundaries. The southern line is hard to determine, since it is denoted by places many of which have not been identified. It left the Dead Sea at its extreme south end, and joined the Mediterranean at the Wady el
- Arish. This territory is in average length about 45 miles, and in average breadth about 50.

JUDAH, KINGDOM OF - J>@ - Extent.
When the disruption of Solomon’s kingdom took place at Shechem, B.C. 975, only the tribe of Judah followed David, but almost immediately afterward the larger part of Benjamin joined Judah. A part, if no all, of the territory of Simeon, ( kjv@1Samuel:27:6; kjv@Kings:19:3) comp. kjv@Joshua:19:1 And of Dan, ( kjv@2Chronicles:11:10) comp. kjv@Joshua:19:41-42 Was recognized as belonging to Judah; and in the reigns of Abijah and Asa the southern kingdom was enlarged by some additions taken out of the territory of Ephraim. ( kjv@2Chronicles:13:19 kjv@2Chronicles:15:8 kjv@2Chronicles:17:2 ) It is estimated that the territory of Judah contained about 3450 square miles. Advantages.
The kingdom of Judah possessed many advantages which secured for it a longer continuance than that of Israel. A frontier less exposed to powerful enemies, a soil less fertile, a population hardier and more united, a fixed and venerated centre of administration and religion, a hereditary aristocracy in the sacerdotal caste, an army always subordinate, a succession of kings which no revolution interrupted; so that Judah survived her more populous and more powerful sister kingdom by 135 years, and lasted from B.C. 975 to B.C. 536. History
The first three kings of Judah seem to have cherished the hope of re-establishing their authority over the ten tribes; for sixty years there was war between them and the kings of Israel. The victory achieved by the daring Abijah brought to Judah a temporary accession of territory. Asa appears to have enlarged it still further. Hanani’s remonstrance, ( kjv@2Chronicles:16:7) prepares us for the reversal by Jehoshaphat of the policy which Asa pursued toward Israel and Damascus. A close alliance sprang up with strange rapidity between Judah and Israel. Jehoshaphat, active and prosperous, commanded the respect of his neighbors; but under Amaziah Jerusalem was entered and plundered by the Israelites. Under Uzziah and Jotham, Judah long enjoyed prosperity, till Ahaz became the tributary and vassal of Tiglath-pileser. Already in the fatal grasp of Assyria, Judah was yet spared for a checkered existence of almost another century and a half after the termination of the kingdom of Israel. The consummation of the ruin came upon its people in the destruction of the temple by the hand of Nebuzaradan, B.C. 536. There were 19 kings, all from the family of David. (Population.
We have a gage as to the number of the people at different periods in the number of soldiers. If we estimate the population at four times the fighting men, we will have the following table: King...Date ... Soldiers ... Population David...B.C. 1056-1015 ... 500,000 ... 2,000,000 Rehoboam...975-957 ... 180,000 ... 720,000 Abijah...957-955 ... 400,000 ... 1,600,000 Asa...955-914 ... 500,000 ... 2,000,000 Jehoshaphat...914-889 ... 1,160,000 ... 4-640,000 Amaziah...839-810 ... 300,000 ... 1-200,000

Judah @ praise, the fourth son of Jacob by Leah. The name originated in Leah's words of praise to the Lord on account of his birth: "Now will I praise [Heb. odeh] Jehovah, and she called his name Yehudah" kjv@Genesis:29:35). It was Judah that interposed in behalf of Joseph, so that his life was spared kjv@Genesis:37:26-27). He took a lead in the affairs of the family, and "prevailed above his brethren" kjv@Genesis:43:3-10 kjv@Genesis:44:14-16-34 kjv@Genesis:46:28 ; kjv@1Chronicles:5:2). Soon after the sale of Joseph to the Ishmaelites, Judah went to reside at Adullam, where he married a woman of Canaan. (
See ONAN; TAMAR.) After the death of his wife Shuah, he returned to his father's house, and there exercised much influence over the patriarch, taking a principal part in the events which led to the whole family at length going down into Egypt. We hear nothing more of him till he received his father's blessing kjv@Genesis:49:8-12).

Judah upon Jordan @ The Authorized Version, following the Vulgate, has this rendering in kjv@Joshua:19:34. It has been suggested that, following the Masoretic punctuation, the expression should read thus, "and Judah; the Jordan was toward the sun-rising." The sixty cities (Havoth-jair, kjv@Numbers:32:41) on the east of Jordan were reckoned as belonging to Judah, because Jair, their founder, was a Manassite only on his mother's side, but on his father's side of the tribe of Judah ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:5 kjv@1Chronicles:2:21-23).

Judah, Kingdom of @ When the disruption took place at Shechem, at first only the tribe of Judah followed the house of David. But very soon after the tribe of Benjamin joined the tribe of Judah, and Jerusalem became the capital of the new kingdom kjv@Joshua:18:28), which was called the kingdom of Judah. It was very small in extent, being only about the size of the Scottish county of Perth. For the first sixty years the kings of Judah aimed at re-establishing their authority over the kingdom of the other ten tribes, so that there was a state of perpetual war between them. For the next eighty years there was no open war between them. For the most part they were in friendly alliance, co-operating against their common enemies, especially against Damascus. For about another century and a half Judah had a somewhat checkered existence after the termination of the kingdom of Israel till its final overthrow in the destruction of the temple (B.C. 588) by Nebuzar-adan, who was captain of Nebuchadnezzar's body-guard ( kjv@2Kings:25:8-21). The kingdom maintained a separate existence for three hundred and eighty-nine years. It occupied an area of 3-435 square miles. (
See ISRAEL, KINGDOM OF.)

Judah, Tribe of @ Judah and his three surviving sons went down with Jacob into Egypt kjv@Genesis:46:12; kjv@Exodus:1:2). At the time of the Exodus, when we meet with the family of Judah again, they have increased to the number of 74,000 males kjv@Numbers:1:26-27). Its number increased in the wilderness (26:22). Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, represented the tribe as one of the spies (13:6; 34:19). This tribe marched at the van on the east of the tabernacle kjv@Numbers:2:3-9 kjv@Numbers:10:14), its standard, as is supposed, being a lion's whelp. Under Caleb, during the wars of conquest, they conquered that portion of the country which was afterwards assigned to them as their inheritance. This was the only case in which any tribe had its inheritance thus determined kjv@Joshua:14:6-15 kjv@Joshua:15:13-19). The inheritance of the tribe of Judah was at first fully one-third of the whole country west of Jordan, in all about 2-300 square miles Joshua:15). But there was a second distribution, when Simeon received an allotment, about 1,000 square miles, out of the portion of Judah kjv@Joshua:19:9). That which remained to Judah was still very large in proportion to the inheritance of the other tribes. The boundaries of the territory are described in kjv@Joshua:15:20-63. This territory given to Judah was divided into four sections.

(1.) The south (Heb. negeb), the undulating pasture-ground between the hills and the desert to the south kjv@Joshua:15:21.) This extent of pasture-land became famous as the favourite camping-ground of the old patriarchs.

(2.) The "valley" (15:33) or lowland (Heb. shephelah), a broad strip lying between the central highlands and the Mediterranean. This tract was the garden as well as the granary of the tribe.

(3.) The "hill-country," or the mountains of Judah, an elevated plateau stretching from below Hebron northward to Jerusalem. "The towns and villages were generally perched on the tops of hills or on rocky slopes. The resources of the soil were great. The country was rich in corn, wine, oil, and fruit; and the daring shepherds were able to lead their flocks far out over the neighbouring plains and through the mountains." The number of towns in this district was thirty-eight kjv@Joshua:15:48-60).

(4.) The "wilderness," the sunken district next the Dead Sea kjv@Joshua:15:61), "averaging 10 miles in breadth, a wild, barren, uninhabitable region, fit only to afford scanty pasturage for sheep and goats, and a secure home for leopards, bears, wild goats, and outlaws" ( kjv@1Samuel:17:34 kjv@1Samuel:22:1; kjv@Mark:1:13). It was divided into the "wilderness of En-gedi" ( kjv@1Samuel:24:1), the "wilderness of Judah" kjv@Judges:1:16; kjv@Matthew:3:1), between the Hebron mountain range and the Dead Sea, the "wilderness of Maon" ( kjv@1Samuel:23:24). It contained only six cities. Nine of the cities of Judah were assigned to the priests kjv@Joshua:21:9-19).
