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

The term Babylonian enslavement of the Jews in Babylon?

This is nonsens. The Judean aristocracy was given estates in Babylon by the Babylonians. The common people remained in Judea under an imported aristocracy. When the Persians took over, they offered the ones in Babylon the option of returning to Judea to try to reclaim their estates. Half took the offer, the other half were doing so well in Babylon that they refused and stayed. Not exactly enslavement.


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.


How were Nebuchadnezzar and Hammurabi alike and different?

From 688 B.C. to 627 B.C., the Assyrian Empire was at its largest and most powerful under King Ashurbanipal. During his reign, the Assrians controlled nearly all of the Fertile Cresent. After 627 B.C. Babylon again began to expand its inflence and wealth. In 605 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar 2 was crowned king of Babylon. He took over much of the former Assyrian Empire and the desert land west of Babylon.

Why have Jews spread from Israel?

First, Babylon conquered Israel and took many Jews out of Israel back to Babylon as captives in war. Once there, provided they did not attempt to leave, they were allowed to live as free people under the king. Then, Persia conquered Babylon and King Cyrus of Persia said that many of the Jews could go back to Israel and rebuild the nation. Over the course of the next five centuries, they were conquered by the Greeks, and later by the Romans. In around the year 65 C.E., many Jewish people in Israel rose up in rebellion against the Roman and they were crushed, and the 2nd Temple was later burnt to the ground. The Romans killed many Jews and took even more out as slaves. For three centuries after the Roman conquest, many Jews continued to live in the Holy Land, but the numbers dwindled. While there did remain a continuous presence of Jews in Israel for the last 2000 years, they were a small minority after this point. The answer is A) The defeat and enslavement by the Babylons and B) The defeat and enslavement and forced resettlement (Diaspora) by the Romans.
