In 587 BC, Judah faced a devastating event when the Babylonian Empire, led by King Nebuchadnezzar II, besieged Jerusalem. The city fell, leading to the destruction of the First Temple and significant loss of life. Many inhabitants were exiled to Babylon, marking the beginning of the Babylonian captivity, which profoundly impacted Jewish history and identity. This period is often seen as a pivotal moment in the transition of the Jewish people from a sovereign nation to a diasporic community.
