A:The Babylonian Exile of the Jews began in 586 BCE.

Another Answer:

Though the main 'exile' of the people of Judah occurred in 586 BC, the Babylonian control of the land began under Nebuchadnezzar in circa 604 BC when then King Jehoiakim switched allegiance to him from then ruling Egypt and then switched back in 598-597 BC when Egypt appeared to gain the upper hand. During this tumultuous period, people were exiled to Babylon. By this measure there are biblical scholars who would state the complete exile of 'Israel' to Babylon took about 20 years to fully complete 604-586 BC in 3 waves.

When was Psalm 120 written?

A:In spite of earlier attributions, the psalms are now known to have been compiled during a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile, although some contain material from earlier centuries. In the case of Psalm 120, we see references to the author, in anguish and woe, living in the land of Mesech and Kedar. Second Isaiah, who wrote during the Babylonian Exile, mentions an Arabic tribe of 'Kedar', confirming that this psalm was written during the Babylonian Exile, in the sixth century BCE.


Who wrote Psalm 142?

Psalm 142 is traditionally attributed to King David, while he was hiding in the cave. However, scholars say that the psalms are a genre unknown at the time attributed to David. They say that they were written many centuries later, during and after the Babylonian Exile. The author was anonymous, probably living during the darkest times of the Babylonian Exile.


Who wrote the psalms?

A:The psalms have traditionally been attributed to King David and his contemporaries around the beginning of the first millennium BCE. However, biblical scholars say that the psalms were a genre unknown at that time. They say that the psalms were actually written anonymously over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. Some of the psalms contain early Hebrew polytheistic concepts, others contain clear references to the Babylonian Exile, while others rejoice in the return from Exile into Jerusalem.


Which book in the Bible did not mention the name of God?

Esther. And the reason is because the Babylonian exile (during which it took place) was a fulfillment of the prophecy that God would conceal His countenance (Deuteronomy ch.31).


Who wrote Psalm 69?

A:The King James Bible attributes Psalm 69 to King David, although scholars say that the psalms were a genre unknown at the time of David. There is evidence in the text that Psalm was written after the time of David and probably during the Babylonian Exile. Verse 9 refers to the house of God, the Temple, which is not supposed to have existed in the time of David. Zion (verse 35) became a name for Jerusalem, and "God will save Zion" refers to a time when Jerusalem was under threat or had been destroyed - the time of the Babylonian Exile. The overall despondent tone of the psalm also brings to mind the depths of the Exile, especially the reference to "prisoners" in verse 33. Reference to "waterflood" in verses 1 and 15 seems out of place in Jerusalem, but suits Babylon, which is adjacent to the great Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.Like all the psalms, Psalm 69 is anonymous and all we can say is that it must have been written during the Babylonian Exile.
