The Exile of Judah Under Nebuchadnezzar
In 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar's armies destroyed Jerusalem and took thousands of Judeans captive to Babylon. We've traced their likely route from Judah to the banks of the Euphrates, where they settled in cities like Nippur and Sippar. This map marks the journey described in 2 Kings 24–25 and the places where exiles like Daniel, Ezekiel, and Esther lived. For Bible students, this period was one of both judgment and hope, as prophets like Jeremiah promised restoration. Travelers to Iraq can visit the ruins of Babylon and imagine the Jewish community that thrived there for 70 years, preserving their faith and identity far from home.
