16 marzo 598 anni a. C. - 1st Siege of Jerusalem by Babylon

Descrizione:

ABC 5

In the seventh year (of Nebuchadnezzar) in the month Chislev (Nov/Dec) the king of Babylon assembled his army, and after he had invaded the land of Hatti (Syria/Palestine) he laid siege to the city of Judah. On the second day of the month of Adar (16 March) he conquered the city and took the king (Jeconiah) prisoner. He installed in his place a king (Zedekiah) of his own choice, and after he had received rich tribute, he sent forth to Babylon.[9]

The ABC5 is a continuation of Babylonian Chronicle ABC4 (The Late Years of Nabopolassar), where Nebuchadnezzar is mentioned as the Crown Prince.[2] Since the ABC 5 only provides a record through Nebuchadnezzar's eleventh year,[3] the subsequent destruction and exile recorded in the Hebrew Bible to have taken place ten years later are not covered in the chronicles or elsewhere in the archaeological record.[4]

The Chronicle is understood to confirm the date of the First Siege of Jerusalem.[4] Prior to publication of the Babylonian Chronicles by Donald Wiseman in 1956,[10] Thiele had determined from the biblical texts that Nebuchadnezzar's initial capture of Jerusalem occurred in the spring of 597 BC,[11] while other scholars, including Albright, more frequently dated the event to 598 BC.[12]

There are no extra-biblical sources for the Second Siege of Jerusalem, which has been dated to 587 BC.[4] The date was arrived at by comparing the evidence of the Chronicle to dates given in the Book of Ezekiel in connection to the year of captivity of Jeconiah (aka Jehoiachin) (i.e. the first fall of Jerusalem).

The Babylonian Chronicles establish that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem the first time on 2 Adar (16 March) 597 BCE.[16] Before Wiseman's publication of the Babylonian Chronicles in 1956, Thiele had determined from biblical texts that Nebuchadnezzar's initial capture of Jerusalem and its king Jeconiah occurred in the spring of 597 BCE, whereas Kenneth Strand points out that other scholars, including Albright, more frequently dated the event to 598 BCE.[17]:310, 317
