In ruins: c. 586 BC – c. 539 BC

Jerusalem: Burnt by Nebuchadnezzar's army (587 or 586 BC, the year is disputed); the exiles returned under Cyrus in 538 BC. In AD 70 Titus's army destroyed the city and the Temple; a Roman legion camped in the ruins until Aelia Capitolina was built c. AD 130.

And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
