Babylonian Exile (sep 15, 587 BC – sep 15, 538 BC)
Description:
Babylonians took many people from Judah (that later became Jews) to faraway Babylon. Many Jewish prophets told Jews to obey the Hebrew Scriptures, even while living in exile. The Bible says that some Jews, like Daniel, became important to people in the Babylonian Empire. Some Jews stayed in Babylon, and some came back to Jerusalem.Added to timeline:
