We can approximate this by the distance from Jerusalem to modern Baghdad is a reasonable approximation. As the crow flies, it is 878 km which is 546 miles. By modern roads, it is 2583 km or 1605 miles, using a route through the West Bank, Jordan and Iraq. It is reasonable to guess that modern roads probably follow routes not horribly different from ancient ones.

The term Babylonian enslavement of the Jews in Babylon?
This is nonsens. The Judean aristocracy was given estates in Babylon by the Babylonians. The common people remained in Judea under an imported aristocracy. When the Persians took over, they offered the ones in Babylon the option of returning to Judea to try to reclaim their estates. Half took the offer, the other half were doing so well in Babylon that they refused and stayed. Not exactly enslavement.

How did the treatment of the conquered Jewish people differ when the Persians conquered the Chaldeans?
They had moved the aristocracy of Judea to Babylon and replaced them in Judea with one from Babylon. This was the way the Assyrians and the Chaldeans kept down conquered peoples - an imported foreign aristocracy would be unsympathetic to the people they ruled and would stop uprisings. So the Judean aristocracy was moved to Babylon to ule a different people there. When Persian king Cyrus took over the Chaldean and Syrian empires, he allowed the Jewish aristocracy the choice of staying in Babylon or going back to Judaea to try to reclaim their old estates there. Half elected to stay in Babylon where they already controlled estates, the rest went beck to Judea where the lower classes of the Jews had remained; some were successful some weren't.
