La posición de la organización o su explicación posterior: La organización no discute la tablilla, pero sostiene que las crónicas babilónicas 'provide an account for only 35 years of the Neo-Babylonian period' y que por eso no pueden fijar la cronología (La Atalaya, 1 de noviembre de 2011, pág. 23).

Chronicles of Chaldaean Kings (626-556 B.C.) in the British Museum, “Transliteration and translation of B.M. 21946, obverse lines 11-13”

1956 · p.73 · D. J. Wiseman · The Trustees of the British Museum, London

“In the seventh year, the month of Kislev, the king of Akkad mustered his troops, marched to the Hatti-land, and encamped against (i.e. besieged) the city of Judah and on the second day of the month of Adar he seized the city and captured the king. He appointed there a king of his own choice (lit. heart), received its heavy tribute and sent (them) to Babylon.”

This is the editio princeps of the tablet usually called the Babylonian Chronicle Chronicle 5 or the Jerusalem Chronicle. The passage records Nebuchadnezzar II's capture of Jerusalem and of its king in his seventh regnal year.

Chronicles of Chaldaean Kings (626-556 B.C.) in the British Museum, “Introduction: the historical background”

1956 · p.33 · D. J. Wiseman · The Trustees of the British Museum, London

“The date of this conquest of Jerusalem is now known precisely for the first time, namely, the second of Adar (15/16th March 597 B.C.).”

Wiseman explains that the chronicle states Nebuchadnezzar 'besieged Jerusalem (literally: the city of Judah) and seized it on the second day of the month Adar', and converts that Babylonian date into the Julian calendar.

Nota de confianza. The eBL API record for BM.21946 was downloaded on 19 September 2026 and the museum number, accession number, CDLI number, genre and bibliography read from its structured fields. The record contains no continuous sentence, so no quotation is recorded for it: its description field is empty. The string “TCS 5” does not appear in the record; the identification of Grayson’s volume with Texts from Cuneiform Sources 5 is standard bibliography, stated here as context and not as a quotation. The British Museum’s own collection-online page could not be opened.
