Chris,

Not a trick at all. Scholars think they have the year narrowed down to within a 6 month period. It comes down to, as I understand it, fall/winter 586/87. Can anyone correct me?

Ultimately, noone knows for a fact when it happened.

Best Salaams,

Brian Roberts

I've found two dates for the first destruction, 586 and 587 BCE. Must be a trick or a change of reference (or something).
