What the Bible says about Migrations of Israel
(From Forerunner Commentary)

2 Kings 17:6 Israel was defeated by Assyria even before Babylonian Empire arose to full strength, and it was taken captive to Assyria. But not long thereafter, they migrated, along with the Assyrians, settling eventually in central and northwest Europe. They began arriving and settling there long before Rome continued the Babylonish system. Another migration began when the Jews were defeated by Babylon and taken in captivity into Babylon. John W.

2 Chronicles 36:17-21 A small remnant of Jews returned to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah 70 years later, but the great bulk of them remained in Babylon. Over the centuries, most of them eventually migrated elsewhere, many ending up in Russia and eastern Europe. In a paper published in the seventies, Ernest Martin established that many Chaldeans, after their nation was overthrown by Medo-Persia, migrated first from Babylon to Tyre. When Alexander the Great conquered that area of the world, destroying Tyre and Sidon, the Babylonians then migrated into Italy and Rome, eventually making up a fairly large portion of Italy's population. Undoubtedly, a number of Jews migrated with them. John W. Ritenbaugh Where Is the Beast?

Isaiah 11:12 God says He will gather "the outcasts of Israel, and . . . the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." This reference indicates that Israel will have migrated far and wide.
