II+Kings+23-25


 * Who ** ? Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah, Nebuchadnezzar
 * What ** is it? The most important characters here are Josiah and Nebuchadnezzar. The former was devout and upheld the covenant (see the page on Josiah), but the following kings “did evil in the eyes of the Lord” and thus according to the Bible, the Lord allowed Nebuchadnezzar and the Bablyonians to sack the city and take Judah into captivity.
 * When ** ? c. 641-586
 * Where ** ? Judah
 * Why ** ? See Babylon Captivity.
