Discovered in 1887, the Babylonian chronicles cover hundreds of years of history.  The chronicle pictured here (3.25” x 2.44”) covers events of Babylonian kings between 605-594 BC.  Written in cuneiform, this tiny tablet Records three events: The Battle of Carchemish - Nebuchadnezzar defeated Pharaoh Necho in 605 BC. The Accession to the throne of Nebuchadnezzar II. The defeat of Jerusalem on March 16, 598 BC. In regards to the third event, it reads: In the seventh month (of 599 BC), in the month Chislev (Nov/Dec) the king of Babylon assembled his army, and after he had invaded the land of Hatti (Syria/Palestine) he laid siege to the city of Judah. On the second day of the month of Adara (March 16th of the next year) he conquered the city and took the king (Jehoiachin) prisoner. He installed in his place a king (Zedekiah) of his own choice, and after he had received rich tribute, he sent (them) forth to Babylon.
