Took what? Nebuchadnezzar took the Judeans (Jews) from the land of Judah into exile in his land.See also:The Destruction
The Benjaminites were absorbed into the general Judean Community. At the time of the Temple's destruction, there were presumed to be fewer Benjaminites than Kohanim. As the Benjaminites had no special rites or religious privilege, there was no need to distinguish between them and Judeans.
General Titus (later to become Emperor Titus) of the Roman Empire supervised the Destruction of the Second Great Temple of the Jews. It is important to note that these people were not "Israelis" since that term refers to the citizens of a modern country. They were "Jews", "Judeans", or "Israelites" depending on which term you prefer.
After Judah became part of the Babylonian Empire, it faced significant upheaval, culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem and the First Temple in 586 BCE. The Babylonian conquest led to the exile of many Judeans to Babylon, where they lived in captivity for several decades. This period of exile profoundly impacted Judean culture and religion, leading to significant developments in Jewish identity and theology. Eventually, the Persian Empire conquered Babylon, allowing many exiled Jews to return to Judah and rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple.
The particular invasion of Judah being referenced was performed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E. Large numbers of Judeans were deported to the city of Babylon, especially the Judean aristocracy.
An Atheist typically does not acknowledge the historicity of Moses or the events at Mt. Sinai. Therefore the Ten Commandments would be a fabrication of the Judeans either in Jerusalem or in Babylon when the Bible was finally written and redacted by the JEPD sources.
605 BCE
Nebuchadnezzar defeated the Egyptians in 605 BC and pursued them as far as Rapha, on the way accepting the surrender of Jerusalem. At this time he took Daniel and his companions as hostages. In 597 BC Nebuchadnezzar again captured Jerusalem following the revolt by Jehoiakim, which was maintained by his son Jehoiachin. This time a large number of people were deported, among them the prophet Ezekiel. The final capture and destruction of Jerusalem took place in 586 BC following the revolt of Zedekiah. Large numbers of people were force-marched into Babylonia and the city was destroyed and the temple looted and burned. The few who survived later fled into Egypt when a group of Jewish terrorists killed Gedaliah, the Babylonian governor. At this time the land was so empty that the Edomites moved across the Rift Valley and settled in the south of Judea, which became known as Idumea.
The Babylonian exile was caused by the conquest of the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE. This was a result of the political and religious unrest in the region, as well as the failure of the Judean kings to submit to Babylonian rule. The Babylonians destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and forced many Judeans into exile in Babylon for about 50 years.
The people of Judea are called Jews or Hebrew people.
The Babylonians exiled the Judeans to Babylon and destroyed numerous buildings in Judea.
