The Edomites were headed by Anitpater the Edomite and his son Herod the Great, the guy who killed all the newborn children in Judea because he knew the New High Priest and of Israel/Judah had been born - Jesus Christ.
Herod could not have anyone around with a claim to the Throne of Israel. He stole it.

1) Put to death the entire Israelite/Judahite ruling council (Ant.14.9.4).
2) Had the 45 “principled men” of the Hasmonean (Israelite/Judahite) priesthood killed (Ant.15.1.2)
3) Killed the King of Judah John Hyrcanus II (Ant. 15:178)
So Herod destroyed the ALL the genealogical records According to Julius Africanus, Killed the King of the Israelites/Judahites, the High Priest, priests and the entire governing body of The Kingdom of Judah. He replaced it with his own temple and priests and genealogy.
This was in 35 BC. 107 years before the 2nd temple was destroyed, Edomites had taken over the country and changed the genealogy and replaced the Entire priesthood with Edomites. It became a Client state of Rome in 37BC and Herod (the Edomite) was proclaimed King by Rome.
Judea is and was never The Kingdom of Judah and it is and never was part of Israel.
Jesus was a Judahite (Member of the Israelite Tribe of Judah) but not a Judean - Citizen of Judea (Edom, Samaria, and the Former Kingdom of Judah).
