 | | What had happened, in fact, was that the great monarchy of the ancient Near East had received a new elite: the Assyrians had been replaced by the Babylonians, but the empire itself remained more or less the same. | | | The relations between the Babylonians, who had already assimilated the Amorites and Kassites, and the new intruders were at first hostile, but the Chaldaeans increasingly babylonized. | | | Its population was deported to Babylonia: the beginning of the Babylonian Exile of the Jews. |

| Â | The Rise of Babylon and Exile (640 BC-538 BC): OT History |
| | The Babylonians, however, were expanding too rapidly for Egypt to contain, and during the reign of Jehoiakim the tiny nation of Judah would totally lose its independence to Babylon and finally disappear into the Babylonian Empire. | | | Judah had no capability of withstanding a Babylonian attack, and since only Tyre, Egypt, and perhaps Ammon supported Judah, the nation was vulnerable. | | | By this time the Egyptians under Pharaoh Necho, who had come to power in 610, were worried about the growing menace of a new and expanding Empire to the north, and decided to send more troops to rescue the embattled Assyrians. |

| | The Babylonians called it the dynasty of Babylon, for, though foreign in origin, it may have had its actual home in that city, which it gratefully and proudly remembered. | | | Professor Delitzsch recently claimed to have found the name Jahve-ilu on a Babylonian tablet, but the reading has been strongly disputed by other scholars. | | | And when a Babylonian caravan has been robbed by the people of Akko in Canaan, the Egyptian Government receives a preemptory letter from Babylon for amende honorable and restitution. |

| | Marduk-apal-iddina once again assumed the throne of Babylon but was forced to withdraw when Sennacherib and the Assyrians defeated a coalition army of Babylonians, Aramaeans, and Elamites, deporting 208,000 Babylonians. | | | Esarhaddon ordered the rebuilding of Babylon, the restoration of its gods, and made a peace treaty with Elam, although later his messengers, attempting to collect taxes from the impoverished Babylonians, were pelted with clods. | | | Cyrus claimed that he was fulfilling the will of Marduk, reaffirmed the privileges of Babylon, ordered exiled deities returned, and decreed that the Jews would be allowed to return to their country. |

Babylon escaped damage in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, but historians lament the damage Hussein may have caused by building over older, still unexcavated levels of the city. |

| | There is much more yet to come however - "Babylon" has many prophetic applications that have yet to be completed (Revelation 18:1-24). | | | The Babylonian Empire was one of the most ancient of the major human kingdoms. | | | However, after many centuries of conflict, the old empire eventually became subject to the Assyrians, from about 885 to 607 B.C. It was during that period that the Assyrians (see Ancient Empires - Assyria) conquered and took into captivity the northern kingdom of Israel, from which the "Lost Ten Tribes" never returned (2 Kings 17:1-23). |
