Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
Judah into captivity in 586 BC by Babylonians;
"But no sooner had Nebuchadnezzar turned his back than Jerusalem was once again abuzz with rumors of revolt. . . . This time, the invaders gave no quarter. Jerusalem and its Temple were systematically razed. Virtually all of its inhabitants were either slaughtered or carried off into captivity." [Isbouts: Biblical World, p. 219-29]
