Response to KS
The first Jewish Temple was destroyed 3338 years after Creation, in 423 B.C.E. by Nebuchadnetzar, a world conquerer. He brought the captives from this and other conquests to his home base, Babylonia, near the Persian Gulf.

Anyone know if there's a lecture on the Kingdom of Judah? The series seems to go straight from the Kingdom of Israel (the lecture to which is cut off before the Assyrian exile) straight to the exile of Judah...
