The Bible that I use says in the footnotes at the bottom of the page that Jerusalem did
not fall when they carried off king Jeohakim,but later in 587b.c. But again when the command
comes to restore the Temple, in the foot note it says 538 b.c. This does not agree with
Jermiahs' prophecy when he said the release from captivity would be seventy years. Please
explain as I read these dates come from Babylonion records.
Need an answer to this question ?

Its the " New Living Bible". I know many people don't aprove of this translation because its paraphrased, but its easy to read. I will check other translations on this subject. But recently
I was playing with dates and I came up with this amazing fact, 587 subtracted from Daniels
prophecy 2,520-587=1933 the very year "the beginning of sorrows began for the Jews" math 24

Well I found the answer at Carl Olaf Jonnson's site. Aparently the watchtower had the same problem
and changed the dates to fit the 70 yrs prophecy. Aparently 587 b.c. is correct but it is the other
end of the sevrnty years that needed to be set straight. If you are interested go to his site! I
was too impatient, remember Jesus's words "Knock and it will be opened to you"

Most modern translations are good to use.
