586 BC  is a very important date - The Year Jerusalem Temple was destroyed by fire.

Nebuchadnezzar came to Jerusalem and "burned the house of God. He broke down the wall of Jerusalem and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its precious vessels."  2 Chronicles 36:19



Jerusalem finally fell.
David's house was cut off.
The temple was razed to the ground.

With the destruction of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar "took all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon."  2 Chronicles 36:18



Nebuchadnezzar "took into exile in Babylon those who had escaped from the sword and they became servants to him and to his sons."  2 Chronicles 36:20
