Scripture: 2 Kings 25:8–10; Jeremiah 52:12–14; 2 Chronicles 36:19
Nebuzaradan, Babylon's commander, burns the temple, the palace and 'all the houses of Jerusalem' and tears down the walls.
Yigal Shiloh's City of David excavations (1978–85) uncovered a thick with collapsed houses, including the 'Burnt Room', the 'House of Ahiel' and the 'House of the ', whose fire baked dozens of clay seal impressions hard. Arrowheads lay in the debris. Later excavations in the Givati Parking Lot found a large public building burned in the same event.
