The “Jerusalem Chronicle” is one of a series of historiographical clay tablets recovered from ancient Mesopotamia. Also know as the Assyrian and/or Babylonian Chronicles (“ABC”), they record events in Mesopotamia starting in the second half of the second millennium through the entire first millennium down to the first century BCE. The “Jerusalem Chronicle” is so-called because it references the exploits of Nebuchadnezzar II, his ascension to the throne, his campaigns against Egyptian King Pharaoh Necho II, and specifically the second siege of Jerusalem in “Addaru in the seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar,” the equivalent of February/March 597. See Jeremiah 52:28. The Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles were written by Mesopotamian scholars who would eventually come to be known by the designation “Magi”.
