Events
- March 16 – Several months' Siege of Jerusalem ends with Nebuchadnezzar capturing and plundering the city and Temple in Jerusalem. He sends into Babylonian captivity the new young king Jeconiah (replacing him with Zedekiah, a puppet ruler) and number of other prominent Jews, including Ezekiel, along with a sizable portion of the Jewish population of the Kingdom of Judah, numbering about 10,000. The Ark of the Covenant vanishes at this time.
