Detailed explanation-1: -The Babylonian Captivity occurred when the Jewish people faced exile from Israel. Being forced to leave Judah, they lived in Babylon between 597 BCE and 538 BCE. This captivity lasted until they were freed by Persian leader Cyrus the Great.
Detailed explanation-2: -In terms of the Hebrew Bible, the term “Exile” denotes the fate of the Israelites who were taken into exile from the Kingdom of Israel during the 8th century BCE, and the Judahites from the Kingdom of Judah who were taken into exile during the 6th century BCE.
Detailed explanation-3: -Throughout the Hebrew Bible, the prophets argued that the exile happened because the people failed to follow God’s instructions. God gave the people specific instructions in order to be faithful to the Lord. God believed the people had properly listened to the instructions God gave them.
