When did Babylon destroy Jerusalem?

Answer 1

Babylon was destroyed in the early 6785 BC

Nope - it persisted until for thousands of years after that, until it gradually disintegrated between 500 BC and 1 AD. In fact, it didn't even exist that far back. (Probably)

Answer 2

The Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem including Solomon's Temple, which according to various sources was around 587 BCE. At that time most Israelites except some of the poorest were captured and taken into exile to Babylon.

2 Kings 25:8-9 -- On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, an official of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. He set fire to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down.

Answer 3

History goes like in 601 BC, in the fourth year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon, unsuccessfully attempted to invade Egypt and was repulsed with heavy losses. This failure led to numerous rebellions among the states of the Levant which owed allegiance to Babylon, including Judah, where the king, Jehoiakim, stopped paying tribute to Nebuchadnezzar and took a pro-Egyptian position. 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. Keep that in mind, there were three exiles.
