During these invasions, kings, leaders, nobles, and skilled workers were taken to Babylon. Among those exiled were Daniel and Ezekiel.


The devastation caused by the third invasion was even greater. Surrounded by the Babylonian army and cut off from all supply routes, Jerusalem suffered a severe famine. Many people perished from starvation, and unspeakable acts occurred, including parents resorting to eating their own children. The temple of Jerusalem, the royal palace, and the homes of the people were set ablaze, while the city walls were completely demolished. Those who remained in Judah, except for the poorest of the land, were taken captive, marking the total destruction of the southern kingdom of Judah.
