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
5And I will give all the wealth of this city and all the fruit of its labor and all its precious things; and all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them and take them and bring them to Babylon.
