Nebuchadnezzar, his eldest son, the prince of the crown prince&#8217;s palace . . .\u00a0 took his army&#8217;s lead and went to the city Carchemish, which is on the bank of the Euphrates. He crossed the river against the army of Egypt . . . They struck each other, and the army of Egypt took flight before him, and he inflicted a defeat upon him. He finished them off until none was left.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within Babylonian history, the Battle of Carchemish marks the first time that Nebuchadnezzar, the crown prince, led the army without his father, Nabopolassar. The old king, now in the twenty-first year of his reign, which would be his last, had brought an end to Assyrian dominion in Babylon, conquered the old Assyrian capital cities of Assur and Nineveh, and eliminated the Assyrian rump state in Harran. Babylon replaced Assyria as a Near Eastern superpower, facing down the only remaining rival, Egypt. The Babylonian victory at Carchemish eliminated the Egyptian presence in the Eastern Mediterranean, and opened the entire region west of the Euphrates River before Nebuchadnezzar&#8217;s forces. After a brief visit to Babylon for his coronation, Nebuchadnezzar returned and &#8220;marched triumphantly&#8221; (in the words of the chronicle) throughout the region for at least four years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeremiah recognized that this battle marked a turning point for his part of the world. Babylon had emerged as the &#8220;foe from the North.&#8221; In this chapter, his prophecies to Judah (1\u201311) and to the entire world (15\u201338) give expression to the global consequences of Babylon&#8217;s rise to power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image: The Babylonian Chronicle (Chronicle 5): Nebuchadnezzar Besieges Jerusalem, 597 BCE &#8211; \u201cHe (Nebuchadnezzar) encamped against the city of Judah (Jerusalem) and on the second day of Adar, he seized the city and seized the king.
