Facinating study of a period that was relatively unknown. The information and insight gained makes the reading of the Biblical books more understandable.

During the seventh year of his reign, between April 598 and March 597 BCE,

Nebuchadnezzar established his rule to the southern part of Hattu-Land.

He probably began to stabilize and organize administration and

garrisons that collected taxes on the local provinces and vassal kingdoms.

In my opinion, this is the reason why in the 8th year of his

rule in January 586 B.C.E, he was able to content with

only short expedition reaching only to Carchemish.

He partly accepted Taxes there and returned to Babylon one month later.

During this time difficulties in other regions begun to bother Nebuchadrezzar.

At some unknown date in his ninth year, which is between April 596 and

mid-April 595 BCE, Nebuchadrezzar was forced to go out to

a campaign along the bank of the Tigris, confronting the king of Elam.

According to the Babylonian Chronicle, the King of Elam was intimidated by the might

of the Babylonian army and returned to his own land.

However, the necessity of mounting a campaign

in the region attests to the problems that the Babylonians were having

along the eastern boarder of the empire.

Even more difficult problems awaited Nebuchadnezzar in the next year,

the tenth year of his reign.

According to Babylonian chronicle there was a revolt in Babylon

that lasted from the month of Kislev until the month of Tebeth

from mid-December 595 to mid-February 594 BCE.

This revolt was suppressed only when Nebuchadnezzar ordered

the execution of many of his own army, and

personally trapped his enemy whose identity is not clear.

It is likely that it was in that period of time, and

perhaps against the background of these signs of weakness,

that stability in Hattu-land began to be undermined.

In Egypt, Psammetichus II ascended the throne in 595 BCE.

His expedition to Nubia in 593 BCE was perceived as

a resounding military success.

His expedition to the Phoenician coast one year later probably by sea

impressed the kingdoms of the region even more.

The small local kingdoms who still remembered the Egyptian

rule in the region that was halted less than ten years before,

believed in the Egyptian's ability to return to a position of power.

It is probable that a strengthening of Egypt and the activist foreign

policy of Psammetichus encouraged the anti Babylonian treaty of the kings of Edom,

Moab, Ammon, Tyre, Sidon, and Judah.

We know about it since it's in the background of one of the symbolic

messages of Jeremiah.

The date in the title of this prophecy is wrong.

You can read it in chapter 27, verse one, and

it can't be dated to the time of king Jehoiakim since,

in the prophecy itself, it is stated that it occurs during the time of Zedekiah.

The event in the background of this prophecy is the meeting of all

the representative of the vassal kingdoms in the region.

Let me read.

I'm reading verse two and three.

[Hebrew].

The symbolic act of Jeremiah aims toward the message of accepting

the Babylonian yoke that a warning that any act of revolt or

attempt to break the Babylonian yoke is against the will of God and

will cause disastrous results.

Have a look

in verse

eight.

[Hebrew].

In verse nine to 11, Jeremiah's warning the representatives

of the vassal kings from all kinds of false prophecies in hopes for

the fall of Babylonian rule in the Levant.

[Hebrew].

In verse 12, Jeremiah is focusing his message to

Zedekiah the king of Judah, and warns him.

[Hebrew]. The anti-Babylonian pact of the kings

of Edom, Ammon, Tyre, Sidon,

and Judah, was a move that could not have

happened without Egyptian support.

Accounts of an agreement between Judah and

Egypt in the final years of Zedekiah's reign support assumptions

regarding Egypt's role in undermining the stability of the region.

In Ezekiel 17 verse 15, there is a description and condemnation of

Zedekiah for breaking his personal oath of alliance to Nebuchadnezzar.

[Hebrew].

The Egyptian army probably came to assist Judah during the Babylonian siege

in Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 37:5-11 mentions an Egyptian campaign to Judah at

the height of the Babylonian siege and

describing that there was a break in the siege when the Babylonian army

left Jerusalem to an unknown place in order to face the Egyptians.

[Hebrew].

Ostracon number three from Lines 14 and

15 contains a description of a journey to Egypt of Koniahu son of Elnathan.

A commander in the Judahite army, apparently the ninth year of

Zedekiah's rule, the year the revolt was declared against Babylon.

This is the backdrop for understanding why Nebuchadnezzar was so

anxious to leave for Hattu-Land in the winter of 594 BCE

immediately after suppressing the revolt in Babylon and stabilizing his rule.

According to the description in the Babylonian Chronicle, the king and

probably also the governors of Hattu-land expressed their loyalty to him.

He had received their tribute, and he returned to Babylon.

In my opinion, this expedition was also connected with the rise

of Psammetichus the Second to the throne in Egypt.

An additional reason for

the expedition was Nebuchadnezzar�sneed to prove to his Garrison forces

in the region that his authority over Hattu-land and Babylon were firm and

stable and that the signs of domestic instability were finished.

Nebuchadnezzar made another campaign in the month of Kislev

of the 11th year of his reign, November 594 BCE.

But the Babylonian chronicle contains no other information about it.

In this point, I am taking a small timeout,

in order to let you know that the Babylonian chronicles were cut off in

the 11th year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign for 37 years.

The next known segment of the chronicle, is describing the events

that were inspired in 557 BC It means that the construction

of all the events around the destruction of Jerusalem and

the temple will be done without the information from the Babylonian side.

We will feel the absence of this information very much in our

reconstructions.
