God allowed Nebuchadnezzar to conquer Israel because Israel forgot God and Israel would not repent and return to God. They worshiped the old queen of heaven Ashtaroth, Aphrodite, Venus goddess worship idol Baal evil and even offered their children as a burnt sacrifice which God cannot stand. This idol worship was called Canaanite mythology. God told the King of Israel to surrender and they would be taken to Babylon without a great slaughter, but some surrendered and some did not. So Nebu who was the King of Babylon carried the Israelites into captivity.

The Babylonian captivity is the result of God invoking the curse of Deuteronomy 28:36-37 upon the Jews because they were spiritually unfaithful to Him:
36 “The LORD will bring you and the king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods—wood and stone. 37 And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all nations where the LORD will drive you."
The prophets Jeremiah and Hosea were sent to warn the Jews of this impending captivity; they refused to listen, so God permitted the Chaldeans to enslave the Jews for 70 years.

Babylon Empire #3, destroyed the Promised Land 907 years after Moses got them there, the temple age 420 years, was destroyed, the Promised Land was empty and the Judah kings end at 391st year.
THERE WILL BE NO KING UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST JESUS AS KING.
The O.T. after 1110 years is done 443 before Christ, the N. T. done 50 to 100 after Christ. Jerusalem is rebuilt with the temple and the wall between 536 and 455 before Christ as to Ezra, Nehemiah, Mordecai, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, and Herod has work done on it a number of years.
