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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A:Strictly speaking, the Israelites never spent any time in Babylon, because Israel had already been destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE, over a hundred years before the Jews were sent to Babylon.

The period the Jews spent in Babylon is called the Babylonian Exile.

Answer 3

According to the Hebrew Bible, there were three deportations of Jews to Babylon: the exile of King Jeconiah, his court and many others in Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year; Jeconiah's successor Zedekiah and the rest of the people in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year; and a later deportation in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year. These are attributed to c. 597 BCE, c. 587 BCE, and c. 582 BCE, respectively.

Answer 4

It was the Ancient period, generally accepted as between 600 BCE and 500 CE.

He didn't make the Jew go, he sent the aristocracies of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The main body remained, under a new imported aristocracy to keep them quiet. Those sent to Babylon were similarly give control of local people, which is why so many did not return to Judah when the Persians took over and offered them the choice of returning - they were so prosperous in Babylon.

This exchange of aristocracies method of control had been pioneered earlier by the Assyrians, and part of their action a couple of centuries earlier had been to do the aristocracy swap on the 10 northern tribes of Israel.

Answer 5

It was called the Babylonian Exile or the First Diaspora and occurred from 586 B.C.E., when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon deported the Jews to Babylon, to 538 B.C.E., when King Cyrus the Great of Persia conquered Babylon and allowed the Jews to return to the Land of Israel if they wished.

Answer 6
