Nebuchadnezzar defeated the Egyptians in 605 BC and pursued them as far as Rapha, on the way accepting the surrender of Jerusalem. At this time he took Daniel and his companions as hostages.
In 597 BC Nebuchadnezzar again captured Jerusalem following the revolt by Jehoiakim, which was maintained by his son Jehoiachin. This time a large number of people were deported, among them the prophet Ezekiel.
The final capture and destruction of Jerusalem took place in 586 BC following the revolt of Zedekiah. Large numbers of people were force-marched into Babylonia and the city was destroyed and the temple looted and burned. The few who survived later fled into Egypt when a group of Jewish terrorists killed Gedaliah, the Babylonian governor.
At this time the land was so empty that the Edomites moved across the Rift Valley and settled in the south of Judea, which became known as Idumea.

A:In ancient times, conquering empires tended to leave subject nations intact and viable so that they could pay taxes and contribute to the central treasury. However, from the time the kingdom of Judah first submitted to Babylon in 605 BCE until 586 BCE, the tiny nation had been a source of rebellion against Babylonian control. King Nebuchadnezzar at first tried to destroy opposition by dispersing some of the elite members of the Jerusalem population, but this had failed. He then exiled more of the population of Jerusalem into Babylon and destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem, as a warning against further insurrection. Leaderless and cowed, the remaining population submitted to Babylonian rule. Many descendants of those who were exiled returned in triumph after Cyrus of Persia defeated the Babylonians, and considered those who had not been exiled to be their inferiors.

It put an end to the monarchy, to the false prophets (who had predicted that there would be no exile) and to the dabbling in idolatry.
