Babylon
Today: Babylon ruins, near Hillah, Iraq
A great city on the Euphrates River, in present-day Iraq, about 53 miles (85 km) south of Baghdad.
In its land the languages were confused at Babel (Gen 11:9). Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and took the people captive there (2 Kgs 25:1-11). Daniel lived there (Dan 1:1-6).
The context
4For thus says YHWH: Look, I am making you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it; and all Judah I will give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them into exile to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
