Best Answer

Religious Reason

According to the Hebrew Bible, the conquering took place because too many of the Israelites permitted themselves to become lax about the Torah, and to stray after idolatry (2 Kings ch.21-22).

Historical Reason

The Babylonians were a far more powerful empire. They had larger military units, several client states, massive siege engines, and inspired fear in every regime they conquered. The Judeans did not have the ability to resist them and their Egyptian "allies" refused to proffer a defense against the Babylonians.
