Biography

Nebuchadnezzar and the Jews

In 597 BCE Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and ruled over Judah ever since. He deposed the Davidic king Jehoiachin, took him and his court captives to Babylon, and replaced him in Jerusalem with his uncle Zedekiah. Ten years later, in 587 BCE, following Zedekiah's attempt to rebel, destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple, killed Zedekiah and his sons, and deported portion of the population to Babylon. Jehoiachin remained captive in Babylon, still bearing the official title of king of Judah.
