The Babylonians attack Jerusalem
In 598 BCE, at the urging of the Egyptian Pharaoh Neco, King Jehoiakim rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. In response, the King of Babylon attacked Judah. When King Jehoakim died, his son, Jehoiachin took the throne.
However, within a few months, the invading Nebuchadnezzar took King Jehoachin and the vessels of the Temple to Babylon and appointed Zedekiah King of Judah.
King Zedekiah would eventually rebel against Nebuchadnezzar, prompting Nebuchadnezzar’s 588 BCE attack on Jerusalem.
On the 9th of Av, 586 BCE, the Babylonians destroyed Solomon’s Temple.
Overview
In the Bible
"In his days, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him."
" בְּיָמָ֣יו עָלָ֔ה נְבֻֽכַדְנֶאצַּ֖ר מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֑ל וַיְהִי־ל֨וֹ יְהֽוֹיָקִ֥ים עֶ֨בֶד֙ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֔ים וַיָּ֖שָׁב וַיִּמְרָד־בּֽוֹ."
