Creation year 3336 · Nisan calendar year 890 · Historical date 587 BC · some chronologies use 586 BC · Jerusalem
This timeline places the breach in Tammuz of Nisan year 890, Creation year 3336, corresponding to 587 BC. Some modern chronologies use 586 BC; counting Zedekiah’s regnal years from his installation after Jehoiachin’s Adar 597 BC capture places his scriptural eleventh year in 587 BC.
King James Version
“And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. And all the army of the Chaldees brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.”
