How long were the Hebrews held captive in Babylon?
The Hebrews remained in Judah. Their aristocracy was taken to Babylon to rule local peoples, and a new aristocracy was brought in to rule Judah. There were three waves of these relocations - 597 BCE, 587 BCE and 582 BCE.
When Persia took over Babylon they allowed the Jews there to return to try to reclaim their old lands. Half decided to remain in Babylonia as they had become well and prosperously established there. The half who began to return to Judea from 538 BCE onwards had mixed fortunes - many could not prove their claims to land, others were successful. The return took place in a series of waves until 520 BCE.

What is the cast of Babylon 5 doing now?
Can't say what they are all doing now but I can tell you that Richard Biggs (Dr Steven Franklin) and Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) have both sadly died.
Richard Biggs died suddenly of a torn Aorta I believe whilst Andreas Katsulas died of Cancer. In the DVD spinoff The Lost Tales, Sherridan is heard to say that Franklin has gone off with G'Kar beyond the rim as he always wanted to be the first to go there.
Other cast members have since made other TV programmes and films including amongst others Lost.

When Nebuchadnezzar and rsquos armies drove the Israelites out of Jerusalem where did they go?
When the Kingdom of Judah, part of Assyria, was taken over by the Babylonians in 605 BCE, many of the king's court and prominent citizens were taken to Babylonia. Many of the Jews stayed in place. There were other periods where people were exiled to Babylon during Nebuchadnezzar's rule and some of those returned in later generations.
Why did the Babylonians take over Canaan and what did they force the Israelites to do?
The Babylonians conquered the nations of the Palestinian region as part of a territorial expansion after their defeat of the Assyrian Empire. They never conquered Israel, because the kingdom had ceased to exist more than a century earlier, following the Assyrian conquest. The successor province to Israel was called Samaria, and the people (now of mixed race) were called Samarians or Samaritans. We have very little information about the interaction of the Babylonians with the Samaritans, but it was probably fairly benign because they simply exchanged one overlord for another. Similarly, the Canaanites, who occupied the coastal strip centred on the city of Dor, would have seen little change from rule by the Assyrians.
The Judahite people were beginning to adopt the ethnic name 'Israelite' at about the time of the Babylonian conquest, possibly to justify claims on the much larger and more prosperous northern territory, but there is little evidence that this name was used by other nations for the people of Judah until some centuries later. The leading citizens of Jerusalem, capital of Judah, were forced into exile, although much of the rural population and some residents of Jerusalem were allowed to remain behind. It was only the Persian defeat of Babylon that eventually resulted in the exiled Jews being allowed to return to their homeland in Judah.

Why did Ur decline as a city-state?
The Third Dynasty of Ur, also known as the Neo-Sumerian Empire or the Ur III Empire, refers simultaneously to a 21st to 20th century BC Sumerian ruling dynasty based in the city of Ur and a short-lived territorial-political state that some historians regard as a nascent empire. Ur was a major city, and later the capital, of the Sumerian Empire in southern Mesopotamia. Its location near the sea made it a center of commerce and trade routes. Between 2030-1980 BCE, Ur was the world's largest city, boasting about 65,000 inhabitants within its walls. The city featured many glorious temples and tombs. Today, the site is recognizable for its well-preserved remains of the Great Ziggurat.
