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.
