The L<small>ORD</small>’s prophecy through Jeremiah was fulfilled. The king of Judah rebelled against the Babylonians, and in 597 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and deported the king and leading men of Judah. In 587 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>., the Babylonians totally destroyed Jerusalem—looting, burning every building including the Temple, and deporting all but a few inhabitants. A third deportation took place in 582 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. Although they had been taken from their homeland, the conditions for the exiles were not unfavorable. The Jews became farmers, merchants, traders, soldiers, even government officials, some rising to positions of wealth. | The L<small>ORD</small>’s prophecy through Jeremiah was fulfilled.
