Moore, Megan Bishop; Kelle, Brad E. (2011): Biblical History and Israel S Past: The Changing Study of the Bible and History. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, ISBN 0802862608, s. 357–358. Sitat: «Overall, the difficulty in calculation arises because the biblical texts provide varying numbers for the different deportations. The HB/OT’s conflicting figures for the dates, number, and victims of the Babylonian deportations become even more of a problem for historical reconstruction because, other than the brief reference to the first capture of Jerusalem (597) in the Babylonian Chronicle, historians have only the biblical sources with which to work.»
