Psalm 137 is one of 150 psalms written 2500 years ago, with nine verses tied to a tragic moment in the Bible. It describes captives mocked by the Babylonians as they mourn the fall of their city. It also serves as a way for the exiles to remember Jerusalem.
Ancient Babylonian tablets from around that time spoke of the life of Jewish exiles coming into the kingdom after the destruction. They were not slaves but productive members of society. Nebuchadnezzar went to Jerusalem multiple times and destroy/exiled the people.
Jugs weren’t the only artifacts found at the site. The findings also included burnt pottery, wood, grape seeds and bones. They were found in layers upon layers of ash.
