The Major Prophets

Am I correct in saying that three of the four Major Prophets (except Isaiah) came under Nebuchadnezzar in the Babylonian Captivity? In addition, I cannot find any scriptures relating to how any of the four Major Prophets died.

Q. I find in studying the scriptures that Isaiah’s ministry was about sixty years (759-690 B.C.) in the days of Hezikiah. Jeremiah was 628 B.C., imprisoned by Zedekiah (s/o Josiah), and King of Judah. He was set free by Nebuzaradan, Captain of the Guard under Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 B.C). Ezekiel was in the days of Jehoiachin 595 B.C. and prophesied to exiles in Mesopotamia. Daniel (604 B.C.) was taken to Babylon the third year of Jehoiakim and saw last recorded vision on the banks of the Tigris 530 B.C. in the third year of King Cyrus (538 B.C.).

Am I correct in saying that three of the four Major Prophets (except Isaiah) came under Nebuchadnezzar in the Babylonian Captivity? I have read where the Jewish captivity began in 586 B.C. and in Young’s Concordance, three Jewish deportations – 598, 587, and 581 B.C.

In addition, I cannot find any scriptures relating to how any of the four Major Prophets died.

A. Daniel, Ezekiel, and Jeremiah all served the Lord during the time of the Babylonian conquest which began in 605 BC and was complete by 586. Isaiah lived about 150 years previously, but prophesied about the Babylonian Conquest as well.

Tradition holds that Isaiah was sawed in half in Jerusalem by King Manasseh, hinted at in Hebrews 11:37. He’s buried in northern Israel.

Daniel likely died of natural causes in Persia, and is revered today by the Iranians. His grave is most likely in Susa, in modern Iran.

Jeremiah was taken to Egypt at age 70 following the conquest of Israel. (Jere. 43:4-7) He likely was murdered there by people angered by his prophecies.

Ezekiel died about 570 BC and is probably buried in al Kifl, in modern day Iraq.
