In the sixth century B.C.E., Babylonian troops under King Nabonidus conquered Edom, and it became desolate, as Jehovah had decreed. — Jeremiah 49: 20; Obadiah 9 - 11.
Kuuendal sajandil e.m.a. vallutasid Babüloonia väed kuningas Nabunaidi juhtimisel Edomi ja see jäi tühjaks, nagu Jehoova oli öelnud.
