From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Captive       one taken in war. Captives were often treated with great cruelty       and indignity (1 Kings 20:32; Josh. 10:24; Judg. 1:7; 2 Sam.       4:12; Judg. 8:7; 2 Sam. 12:31; 1 Chr. 20:3). When a city was       taken by assault, all the men were slain, and the women and       children carried away captive and sold as slaves (Isa. 20; 47:3;       2 Chr. 28:9-15; Ps. 44:12; Joel 3:3), and exposed to the most       cruel treatment (Nah. 3:10; Zech. 14:2; Esther 3:13; 2 Kings       8:12; Isa. 13:16, 18). Captives were sometimes carried away into       foreign countries, as was the case with the Jews (Jer. 20:5;       39:9, 10; 40:7).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Captivity       (1.) Of Israel. The kingdom of the ten tribes was successively       invaded by several Assyrian kings. Pul (q.v.) imposed a tribute       on Menahem of a thousand talents of silver (2 Kings 15:19, 20; 1       Chr. 5:26) (B.C. 762), and Tiglath-pileser, in the days of Pekah       (B.C. 738), carried away the trans-Jordanic tribes and the       inhabitants of Galilee into Assyria (2 Kings 15:29; Isa. 9:1).       Subsequently Shalmaneser invaded Israel and laid siege to       Samaria, the capital of the kingdom. During the siege he died,       and was succeeded by Sargon, who took the city, and transported       the great mass of the people into Assyria (B.C. 721), placing       them in Halah and in Habor, and in the cities of the Medes (2       Kings 17:3, 5). Samaria was never again inhabited by the       Israelites. The families thus removed were carried to distant       cities, many of them not far from the Caspian Sea, and their       place was supplied by colonists from Babylon and Cuthah, etc. (2       Kings 17:24). Thus terminated the kingdom of the ten tribes,       after a separate duration of two hundred and fifty-five years       (B.C. 975-721).                Many speculations have been indulged in with reference to       these ten tribes. But we believe that all, except the number       that probably allied themselves with Judah and shared in their       restoration under Cyrus, are finally lost.                "Like the dew on the mountain, Like the                foam on the river,                Like the bubble on the fountain,                They are gone, and for ever."                (2.) Of Judah. In the third year of Jehoiachim, the eighteenth       king of Judah (B.C. 605), Nebuchadnezzar having overcome the       Egyptians at Carchemish, advanced to Jerusalem with a great       army. After a brief siege he took that city, and carried away       the vessels of the sanctuary to Babylon, and dedicated them in       the Temple of Belus (2 Kings 24:1; 2 Chr. 36:6, 7; Dan. 1:1, 2).       He also carried away the treasures of the king, whom he made his       vassal. At this time, from which is dated the "seventy years" of       captivity (Jer. 25; Dan. 9:1, 2), Daniel and his companions were       carried to Babylon, there to be brought up at the court and       trained in all the learning of the Chaldeans. After this, in the       fifth year of Jehoiakim, a great national fast was appointed       (Jer. 36:9), during which the king, to show his defiance, cut up       the leaves of the book of Jeremiah's prophecies as they were       read to him in his winter palace, and threw them into the fire.       In the same spirit he rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings       24:1), who again a second time (B.C. 598) marched against       Jerusalem, and put Jehoiachim to death, placing his son       Jehoiachin on the throne in his stead. But Jehoiachin's       counsellors displeasing Nebuchadnezzar, he again a third time       turned his army against Jerusalem, and carried away to Babylon a       second detachment of Jews as captives, to the number of 10,000       (2 Kings 24:13; Jer. 24:1; 2 Chr. 36:10), among whom were the       king, with his mother and all his princes and officers, also       Ezekiel, who with many of his companions were settled on the       banks of the river Chebar (q.v.). He also carried away all the       remaining treasures of the temple and the palace, and the golden       vessels of the sanctuary.                Mattaniah, the uncle of Jehoiachin, was now made king over       what remained of the kingdom of Judah, under the name of       Zedekiah (2 Kings 24:17; 2 Chr. 36:10). After a troubled reign       of eleven years his kingdom came to an end (2 Chr. 36:11).       Nebuchadnezzar, with a powerful army, besieged Jerusalem, and       Zedekiah became a prisoner in Babylon. His eyes were put out,       and he was kept in close confinement till his death (2 Kings       25:7). The city was spoiled of all that was of value, and then       given up to the flames. The temple and palaces were consumed,       and the walls of the city were levelled with the ground (B.C.       586), and all that remained of the people, except a number of       the poorest class who were left to till the ground and dress the       vineyards, were carried away captives to Babylon. This was the       third and last deportation of Jewish captives. The land was now       utterly desolate, and was abondoned to anarchy.                In the first year of his reign as king of Babylon (B.C. 536),       Cyrus issued a decree liberating the Jewish captives, and       permitting them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city and       the temple (2 Chr. 36:22, 23; Ezra 1; 2). The number of the       people forming the first caravan, under Zerubbabel, amounted in       all to 42,360 (Ezra 2:64, 65), besides 7,337 men-servants and       maid-servants. A considerable number, 12,000 probably, from the       ten tribes who had been carried away into Assyria no doubt       combined with this band of liberated captives.                At a later period other bands of the Jews returned (1) under       Ezra (7:7) (B.C. 458), and (2) Nehemiah (7:66) (B.C. 445). But       the great mass of the people remained still in the land to which       they had been carried, and became a portion of the Jews of the       "dispersion" (John 7:35; 1 Pet. 1:1). The whole number of the       exiles that chose to remain was probably about six times the       number of those who returned.
