Judea @ After the Captivity this name was applied to the whole of the country west of the Jordan Haggai:1:1Haggai:1:14Haggai:2:2). But under the Romans, in the time of Christ, it denoted the southernmost of the three divisions of Palestine Matthew:2:1Matthew:2:5Matthew:3:1Matthew:4:25 ), although it was also sometimes used for Palestine generally Acts:28:21). The province of Judea, as distinguished from Galilee and Samaria, included the territories of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Dan, Simeon, and part of Ephraim. Under the Romans it was a part of the province of Syria, and was governed by a procurator.
