Jeremiah 52:4-16
4And it cameH935 to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6224 day of the monthH2320, that Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and encampedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 forts against it roundH5439 about. 5So the cityH5892 was besieged unto the eleventh yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 6In the fourthH7243 monthH2320, in the ninth day of the monthH2320, the famineH7458 wasH1961 sore in the cityH5892, so that there wasH1961 no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 7Then a breach was made in the cityH5892, and all the menH376 of warH4421 fledH1272, and wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between the twoH2346 wallsH2346, which was by the king’sH4428 gardenH1588 (now the ChaldeansH3778 were against the cityH5892 roundH5439 about); and they wentH3318 toward the ArabahH6160. 8But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 after the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and all his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 9Then they took the kingH4428, and carried him up unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; and he gave judgmentH4941 upon him. 10And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slew the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869: he slew alsoH1571 all the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247. 11And he putH5414 out the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in fettersH5178, and carried him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prison till the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.
12Now in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, in the tenth day of the monthH2320, which was the nineteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 Nebuchadrezzar, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018 the captain of the guard, who stoodH5975 before the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, into JerusalemH3389. 13And he burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004; and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, even every greatH1419 houseH1004, burnedH8313 he with fireH784. 14And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 roundH5439 about. 15Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the peopleH5971, and the residue of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fellH5307 away, that fellH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the residue of the multitude. 16But NebuzaradanH5018 the captain of the guard leftH7604 of the poorest of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and husbandmen.
