After the defeat of Judea by Nebuchadnezzar, a significant number of Jews had to flee to Egypt and there seek protection from those accidents that they could be exposed to in a country devastated and abandoned by the victor (2 Kings 25.26). With the final destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, thousands of captive Jews were sent to Egypt and other countries to be sold into slavery (Joseph Fla.). During the reign of Emperor Hadrian, such a large number of captive Jews were concentrated in the Roman Empire that they were sold at the cheapest price. About 12,000 prisoners died of hunger (Bible Alliol., 1868, vol. 1:727; Vlastov, Holy Let.). You might be interested in:
