What caused Judah to go into captivity according to the Bible?

The book of 2 Chronicles details how Judah fell into captivity as a result of continuous disobedience and idolatry. The people repeatedly turned away from the Lord, rejecting His commands and worshipping foreign gods. This persistent rebellion led to God's righteous judgment, allowing Babylon to invade and take them captive. Despite their hard heartedness, God in His mercy raised up prophets, such as Haggai and Zechariah, to call them back to repentance, reflecting God's desire for His people to return to righteousness, despite their failures.
