How long was Israel in captivity to the Babylonians?

Answer:
According to my research, Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 586 BCE and took the Israelites into captivity in Babylon. In 539 BCE, Cyrus leading an army of Persians and Medians conquered Babylon and released the Israelites. About fifty years.
