The Babylonian captivityis the period in Jewish history during which a number of Judahites of the ancientKingdom of Judah were captives in Babylonia. After the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, besieged Jerusalem, resulting in tribute being paid by King Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim refused to pay tribute in Nebuchadnezzar's fourth year, which led to another siege in Nebuchadnezzar's seventh year, culminating with the death of Jehoiakim and the exile of KingJeconiah, his court and many others; Jeconiah's successor Zedekiah and others were exiled in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year; a later deportation occurred in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year. The dates, numbers of deportations, and numbers of deportees given in the biblical accounts vary. These deportations are dated to 597 BCE for the first, with others dated at 587/586 BCE, and 582/581 BCE respectively.
If we respect the historic difference between Israel, the northern kingdom, and Judah in the south, then Israel was certainly not freed. Israel had been destroyed by the Assyrians and replaced by the Assyrian province of Samaria. In the absence of an Israelite kingdom, the leaders of the Jews began to refer to Judah synonymously with Israel, but their neighbours continued to maintain the distinction, at least until the Common Era.
After the Babylonian rule, Judah came under Persian rule, followed by Hellenic (Greek) and then, following a brief period of independence under the Hasmoneans, Roman rule.

A:The Book of Jonah places Jonah in the northern kingdom of Israel, perhaps in the eighth century BCE. Scholars continue to debate whether the story was actually written in Israel or, much later (perhaps even after the Babylonian Exile), in the southern kingdom of Judah.
Assuming you mean the northern kingdom known as Israel, then this was conquered by Assyria.
Starting in Isaiah 1:1 the book addresses Judah and Jerusalem with warnings and prophecies from the time of King Uzziah (740 B.C.) to the time of Hezekiah (681 B.C.) leading up to the Babylonian captivity.
A:1 Kings chapter 18 does not mention prophets of Asherah, but rather those of Baal. According to this passage, Elijah tricked them into a contest he would win, then murdered all of them. One would expect from this that worship of the god Baal would have ceased forever in Israel, but archaeologists find evidence that he continued to be worshipped throughout Israelite history, up until the final destruction of Israel in 722 BCE. Asherah was the Hebrew fertility goddess and very different from Baal and the other Israelite gods. Thousands of figurines associated with the goddess have been found throughout Israel and Judah prior to the Babylonian Exile, but none from that time onwards. It seems that the Babylonian Exile brought an end to her worship.
In those days Isarael was having Judges to rule over them Then the people said like other tribes we to want a king, but the prophet Samuel tried to discourage then saying god is there to guide us, but his words fell on deaf years, and with a bitter heart he chose Saul as king of Israel.

It was not. The "Babylonian Captivity" refers to the conquest of Israel , and the removal of the Israelites to captivity in Babylon, where they were held until permitted to return to Israel roughly 70 years later.
