2 Chronicles 36:17-23

So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans,  who killed their fit young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary. He had no pity on young men or young women, elderly or aged; he handed them all over to him. He took everything to Babylon — all the articles of God’s temple, large and small, the treasures of the Lord’s temple, and the treasures of the king and his officials. Then the Chaldeans burned God’s temple.  They tore down Jerusalem’s wall, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all its valuable articles. He deported those who escaped from the sword to Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the rise of the Persian  kingdom.  This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Jeremiah,  and the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation  until seventy years were fulfilled. In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia,  in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken through  Jeremiah,  the Lord roused the spirit of King Cyrus  of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom and also to put it in writing: This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: The Lord, the God of the heavens, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build him a temple at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up, and may the Lordhis God be with him.
