Destruction of Jerusalem--605 B. C. and Decree of Cyrus--536 B. C. are events and dates marked the beginning and end respectively of the Babylonian captivity.

Babylonian Captivity is also known as Babylonian Exile. In Jewish history, it is a period in which there is forced detention of Judahites of the ancient Kingdom of Judah in Babylonia, that’s why it is called Babylonian captivity.
