The Babylonian captivityis the period in Jewish history during which a number of Judahites of the ancientKingdom of Judah were captives in Babylonia. After the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, besieged Jerusalem, resulting in tribute being paid by King Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim refused to pay tribute in Nebuchadnezzar's fourth year, which led to another siege in Nebuchadnezzar's seventh year, culminating with the death of Jehoiakim and the exile of KingJeconiah, his court and many others; Jeconiah's successor Zedekiah and others were exiled in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year; a later deportation occurred in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year. The dates, numbers of deportations, and numbers of deportees given in the biblical accounts vary. These deportations are dated to 597 BCE for the first, with others dated at 587/586 BCE, and 582/581 BCE respectively

What was the period of time when the Judeans were sent to live in Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar?

The carrying away of the people of Judah was not accomplished at once. There were about four groups deported to Babylon at a period before 607 B.C. Then there was the two principle deportations to Babylon, the first in 607 B.C. which probably included Daniel and other "selected children"( Daniel 1;1-4). and then the second deportation in 587 B.C. (II Kings 25:1-21). At this time the City of Jerusalem was destroyed and King Zedekiah was captured and all but the very poorest of people were taken to Babylon.There was a much earlier captivity accomplished by Sennacherib in 705 B.C. (II Kings 18:13) and it is said two hundred thousand captives were taken to Assyria from various cities.Answer:That period was called the Babylonian Exile.

What type of post-Exile colonialism existed in Babylon?

AnswerAfter Cyrus defeated the Babylonians and released the Jews from Exile, the Persians ruled Babylon and the entire Babylonian Empire, moving their capital to Babylon. The Jews were grateful to the Persians throughout the Persian period and willingly adopted the Persian choice for the imperial language, Aramaic, in place of the Hebrew language. Even after the defeat of the Persian Empire by Alexander the Great, only the Jews refused to adopt Greek as their language, continuing with the use of Aramaic. This is one example that shows the Jews were willing to serve the Persian masters and found Persian colonialism tolerable.
