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.

Isa 22:11
Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
