Explanation:
The Babylonian captivity, the time in Jewish history when many people from the ancient Kingdom of Judah were captives in Babylonia, started after the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked Jerusalem, causing King Jehoiakim to pay tribute. It ended when the Decree of Cyrus allowed Jews to go back to Jerusalem.
