	Babylonian Exile (Jewish history, 6th century BCE)

Note: The forced detention of Jews in Babylonia after Babylon's conquest of the kingdom of Judah in 598/977 and 587/586 BCE. Historians agree that several deportations took place, that not all Jews were forced to leave their homeland, that returning Jews left Babylonia at various times, and that some Jews chose to remain in Babylonia, thus constituting the first of numerous Jewish communities living permanently in the Diaspora.
