The general spiritual reason was that God found the Jewish people to be below the spiritual level that was a requisite for having His presence among them. The prophets had warned them (Jeremiah 7:25) but were not sufficiently heeded (2 Chronicles 36:16). Once God's presence no longer felt welcome, their downfall at the hands of enemies was just a matter of time (see Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 31a, and Eichah Rabbah 1:43). Since the Kingdom of Judah was on a higher spiritual level than that of Israel, it was spared by God for a further 133 years.
In the case of Judah, a more specific spiritual reason was the sins of Menasheh, king of Judah, as stated in 2 Kings 21:11-13 and 24:3.
The political reason (the specific temporal circumstance) was the fact that King Yehoiakim, after having been obedient to Nevuchadnezzar (king of Babylonia), became insubordinate (2 Kings 24:1); and Nevuchadnezzar responded by conquering the land of Judah, destroying the First Temple and exiling the populace.
Some positive results: the false prophets, at long last, were silenced forever. They had predicted that no Destruction would take place.
Also, the lure of idolatry finally weakened, since the Destruction and Exile happened exactly as predicted by the true Prophets, who were the same ones who had spoken ceaselessly against dabbling in idolatry.
