Zedekiah is made king by Nebuchadnezzar; he rebels; so,
Nebuchadnezzar invades Judah, takes Jerusalem, and carries off the people to Babylon, despoiling the temple—2Ki 24:17-20; 25; 2Ch 36:11-21
The poorest of the people were left to occupy the country,
and were joined by fragments of the army of Judah, the dispersed Israelites in other lands, and the king's daughters—2Ki 25:12,22,23; Jer 39:10;40:7-12;52:16
