       How Did The "Jew" Hijack The Name?The Maccabean family (a remnant of the true Judahites) had ruled Judea from 166 to 37 8.C., and under Judas Maccabee (I Mac. 5:3), recaptured the city of Hebron from the Edomites in 164 B.C. During the time of John Hyrcanus (135-105 B.C.), the nephew of Judas, the Judahites were again faced with the hostility of the Idumeans. Hyrcanusconfronted the Edomites causing a decisive change in the relations between the two factions:John Hyrcanus conquered the whole of Edom and undertook the forced conversion of its inhabitants toJudaism (Joseph., Ant. X I,9, 1). Thencef-orth the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people.'Thus, at this juncture of time the Edomites 'were then incorporated with the jewish nation, and their country was called by the Greeks and Romans 'Idumea'Also read: "Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus" https://ccel.org/j/josephus/works/JOSEPHUS.HTM
