Question

In the end, after the turmoil following Alexander the Great’s death, who controlled Judah?

Seleucids
Jews
Persians
Romans
Ptolemean

Answer 1

After the turmoil following Alexander the Great's death, Judah eventually came under the control of the Seleucids. Initially, following Alexander's death in 323 BCE, his empire was divided among his generals. The region of Judah, which was part of the larger territory of the Levant, fell under the control of the Seleucid Empire. However, there were periods of autonomy and tension, especially during the Maccabean Revolt, which led to a brief period of Jewish independence before the region came under varying degrees of external control, including the Romans later on.
