Biblical Nuggets: The Babylonian Chronicles


‎The Babylonian Chronicles are a series of clay tablets inscribed with Babylonian history. They were written at different times, beginning around the sixth century BC. They narrate events beginning in the eighth century BC and cover nearly 500 years of history. Some describe events of biblical history—including Jehoiakim’s refusal to pay tribute (2 Kgs 24:1), Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem (2 Kgs 24:10–11), and Jehoiachin’s capture (2 Kgs 24:12).[1]
