First sentence: According to the biblical record, the Babylonian army of Nebuchadrezzar II invested Jerusalem in January 587 B.C., breached its walls in July of the following year, and torched the city with its palaces and temple in the second week of the month of Av, namely, sometime in early August of the same year, about eighteen months after the siege had begun (2 Kings 25; Jeremiah 52).
