Abstract
This article examines the impact of economic factors upon the decision-making processes of the political leadership of the kingdom of Judah on the eve of its fall to Babylonia. During its last days, Judah served as a buffer state between the Neo-Babylonian Empire and Egypt under the Twenty-Sixth Saite dynasty. The guiding premise adopted herein is that economic considerations played a key role in the decision to support Egypt rather follow Jeremiah's counsel that vassaldom to Babylonia formed the better option.
