	The Megiddo Expedition
		Until recently, scholars generally agreed that Megiddo's six-chambered gate and adjoining city wall at the northern entrance to the city was commissioned by King Solomon in the late tenth century B.C. as a part of the great building project mentioned in 1 Kings 9:15.
		At Megiddo, the arrival of the Assyrian conquerors is present in the archaeological record in the dismantling of the stables and the construction of impressive Assyrian-style palaces from which the rich Jezreel Valley was governed in the name of the Assyrian king.
		In the spring of 609 B.C., the Judean king Josiah-hoping to claim control of the territory of the former Kingdom of Israel that the disintegrating Assyrian Empire had abandoned, rode northward to confront Pharaoh Necho II and a large Egyptian force.

		Consequently, Megiddo was able to exert control over what in ancient times was known as the Via Maris, or "Way of the Sea." The Via Maris acted as a major road between Egypt and Mesopotamia, and it is believed that people from all over the ancient world passed through, settled, and battled there.
		Megiddo was the site of several major battles, each of which held the fate of all Asia west of the Euphrates in the balance.
		Megiddoâs water system served to protect the cityâs water supply during times of warfare--which were often--and consisted of a large shaft that extended some 120 feet into the ground.

	Megiddo - Archeology in Israel
		Megiddo is one of the most important sites for the archeology of the Israelite kingdom, but there also many secrets to divulge as scientists struggle with the correct dating of the finds.
		Megiddo's location was fortunate, connected to the ancient trade route to Egypt and Mesopotamia which ran along the sea by way of a pass through the Carmel mountains.
		In 609 BCE King Josiah assembled his army in an effort to hold back Pharaoh Necho of Egypt from helping the crumbling Assyrian army fight the new force in the region, the Babylonians (II Kings 23:29-30).

		There is apparently a 'lesser' Battle of Megiddo other than the great battle at Megiddo under Thutmosis III centuries before, and the lesser battle implicates the king of Assyria against Pharaoh Neco II (609/10-595 BCE; also called 'Nechoh' in the Bible).
		The decade of Jehoiakim's reign (608-598 BCE) saw Judah shifting back and forth between alliance to Egypt (as Jehoiakim owed his throne) and the new Babylonian overlord Nebuchadnezzar (there are several renditions of his name).
		An Egyptian expeditionary army was crushed and in the ensuing revolt Wahibre was toppled in 569 BCE.

		Here Thothmes III of Egypt (flourished circa 1650 BC), after the battle of Megiddo, met and received hostages from the Assyrians, and here too Rameses II defeated Muwatallish, king of the Hittites (circa 1320 BC), Ramesses II left a detailed official account of his battle with the Hittites at Kadesh.
		The incidents of the battle are also depicted on the walls of the Ramesseum, and an Egyptian epic records the heroic deeds of Rameses.
		At the battle of Kadesh Pharoah Rameses II led an army of 20,000 men in an attempt to maintain his crumbling empire.

	JWSR v6n1 - Eric Cline
		Megiddo is located in the Jezreel Valley, almost exactly halfway between Haifa on the Mediterranean coast to the west and Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee to the east, and between Egypt to the south and Mesopotamia to the north.
		I would propose that Megiddo and the Jezreel Valley first became a "contested periphery" in the mid-first millennium BC, during the Neo-Assyrian period and on through the ensuing Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods, when the region was criss-crossed time and again by armies intent on invading Egypt.
		The battles fought in the area might serve as markers of change in this core orientation or, alternatively, as markers for a lack of change if the existing core power was successful in retaining control (Allen, personal communication).

		Therefore March 18th 561 BCE appears to be the correct date for Jehoiachin's release, and indicates that the Fall of Jerusalem occurred in 586 BCE.
		Since Amel-Marduk's accession year of 562 BCE is Nebuchadrezzar's last regnal year, it is not possible that Nebuchadrezzar reigned forty-three (43) years, if his reign is to be synchronised with the reigns of the Judean Kings, as is indicated in the Biblical Narratives.
		Currently Josiah's death is accepted to have occurred in 609 BCE at Megiddo, in connection with a battle between Egyptians and Babylonians, during Nabopolassar's 17th year.
