Babylonian Arrowhead from the Destruction of the Temple
A Babylonian arrowhead from the destruction of the Temple in 586 BCE was found at the Temple Mount Sifting Project. A Scythian-type arrowhead that was used by the Babylonians is distinguished from other arrowheads by its three triangular fins and a hollow socket into which a shaft was inserted.
Overview
In the Bible
All the vessels of the House of G-d, large and small, and the treasures of the House of the L-RD and the treasures of the king and his officers were all brought to Babylon.
They burned the House of G-d and tore down the wall of Jerusalem, burned down all its mansions, and consigned all its precious objects to destruction.
Those who survived the sword he exiled to Babylon, and they became his and his sons’ servants till the rise of the Persian kingdom.
