A:Historians regard the following dates as firm, given a margin of perhaps one year or so:
  • Jerusalem surrendered in 597 BCE, and thousands were deported, but Babylonian control over Jerusalem was short-lived.
  • Babylon again besieged Jerusalem and in 586 BCE a substantial part of the remaining population of Jerusalem was deported. This is considered to be the start of the Babylonian Exile.

Some Jewish religious scholars place the Babylonian Captivity later than this, thereby resolving certain contradictions in The Bible.

Archaeologists and other scholars support the historical view.
