all the treasures: During his earlier attack on Jerusalem in 605 BC, Nebuchadnezzar took some of the temple treasures as loot (2 Chronicles 36:7; Daniel 1:2). He now took all the treasures. Anything left behind was taken during his final attack on Jerusalem in 586 BC (2 Kings 25:15).
Nebuchadnezzar II attacked Judah at least three times, in 605 BC, 597 BC, and 586 BC.
He took treasures from Jerusalem and captured people to bring to Babylon (see 2 Kings 24:1, 10–17; 25:1–21).
