Babylonian Exile/ captivity

Babylonian Exile/ captivity

The exile of the Jews in Babylon began with the "Exile of Jehoiachin," king of Israel, who was exiled shortly before the destruction of the First Temple.

("There are four praiseworthy things here for Israel against four exiles among four exiles, which stood upon Israel and did not deny the Holy One, blessed be He, in the Babylonian exile, whence it is said, 'Who is this that appears like the dawn?' Nebuchadnezzar was bowing to the sun." - Shemot Rabba (Vilna), Parashat Bo, section 15)
