The status of Israel changed dramatically as a result of the Babylonian exile and itsaftermath during the Persian era. Whereas the self-understanding of the people was closelylinked to the Davidic monarchy during the pre-exilic time, the post-exilic community had toface the reality of their provincial existence under Persian imperial rule. The sociopoliticaland socio-cultural environment changed dramatically because of these events,resulting in renewed processes of identity negotiation in Israel. We witness differentattempts at verbalizing these processes in the biblical writings. The impact of the Persianimperial context on the self-understanding of the community in Jerusalem will beinvestigated with special reference to the Books of Chronicles. In these books  different tofrom e.g. Ezra-Nehemiah  a tendency towards inclusivism can be detected in the processof identity negotiation. This paper will show how this tendency relates to the qualifiedtolerance that was characteristic of the Persian (Achaemenid) era.
