One lecture this week, and basically it was kind of depressing. Good new was that Jerusalem had a increased amount of literature in the common people. There were writings called the "Lanchish letters" where the righting of a common solider talk about the negative stigma with illiteracy. Also there was a braclet found with a prayer written on it from the Bible (and it brings to question how this pray came about in the Bible), but this is all a positive!
Now the bad news. Jerusalem is taken over by Babylonians in 586 BCE. First all the intelligent and skilled people of Jerusalem were exiled from the city. Then after King Jehoichin tried to rebel against the Babylonians, so they got mad and then banished all the people from Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple of Solomon. This happening made many people question the everything they had know. Everything that people had been taught from Gods promise to David was contradicted by reality.
