Return to *History 8 Mesopotamia Notes
Computer Exercise: The Jewish People were the group who were forced to move from Judah to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar was the king at this time and, to secure the area of Judah, he brought the two Jewish Kings, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, to Babylon. He also forced a great number of Jews to relocate. This marked the beginnings of exile as the Jewish people were somewhat exiled from their homes in Judah. The Jewish people were mostly upper class and craftsmen.
