Almost 140 years before the southern kingdom of Judah went into Babylonian captivity, the northern kingdom of Israel was taken into Assyrian captivity. And, whereas the kingdom of Judah returned to the land, there is no corresponding record of the kingdom of Israel doing the same.

Alone, Moses climbed the rugged path to the top of Mount Pisgah in the land of Moab.

He was to die after seeing the land from the mountain top.
