Cronología y 607 a. E.C. · Claim record

El desacuerdo real entre los historiadores sobre la destrucción de Jerusalén se da entre 587 y 586 a.E.C., un solo año, y depende de si Judá contaba los años de reinado desde tisrí o desde nisán. Un repaso de la bibliografía halló once especialistas a cada lado. Ninguna cronología generalmente aceptada del período admite una diferencia de veinte años.

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 47/1, “When Did Jerusalem Fall?”

marzo de 2004 · pp.21-38 · Rodger C. Young · Evangelical Theological Society

“Although the Scriptures state that the end came in the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, scholars are divided on whether this refers to 586 bc or 587 bc. Jeremy Hughes listed eleven scholars who preferred the first date and eleven who preferred the second.”

A survey of the scholarly disagreement about the year Jerusalem fell. The article's conclusion is that 'Jerusalem fell in the fourth month (Tammuz) of 587 bc'. The whole disagreement in the literature is between two adjacent years.

Chronicles of Chaldaean Kings (626-556 B.C.) in the British Museum, “Introduction: Egypt and Babylon”

1956 · p.30 · D. J. Wiseman · The Trustees of the British Museum, London

“a fragmentary text, B.M. 33041, which is a religious rather than a 'Chronicle' version of historical events in the thirty-seventh year of Nebuchadrezzar (568/7 B.C.)”

Discussing the Babylonian invasion of Egypt, Wiseman dates Nebuchadnezzar II's thirty-seventh year to 568/567 BCE on the basis of a tablet entirely independent of the astronomical diary VAT 4956.

The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?-Part One”

1 de octubre de 2011 · pp.26-31 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“So why do Jehovah's Witnesses hold to a date that differs from widely accepted chronology by 20 years? In short, because of evidence within the Bible itself.”

The organisation’s fullest modern statement of its case for 607 BCE. It opens by printing a reader’s question — “586 or 587 B.C.E. is generally accepted as the year of Jerusalem’s destruction. Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses say that it was 607 B.C.E.?” — and answers it. In its own words, in the summary box on page 31: “Secular historians usually say that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 B.C.E.” The article rests its own date on a literal seventy-year exile ending in 537 BCE.
