2 Kings 25:1-15
1And it cameH935 to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, on the tenthH6224 of the monthH2320, [that] NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and encampedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 turrets against it roundH5439 about.
2And the cityH5892 was besieged until the eleventh yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
3On the ninth of the [fourth] monthH2320 the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 in the cityH5892, and there wasH1961 no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
4And the cityH5892 was brokenH1234 into; and all the menH376 of warH4421 [fled] by nightH3915, by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between the twoH2346 wallsH2346, which [leads] to the king's gardenH1588 (now the ChaldeansH3778 were by the cityH5892 roundH5439 about); and they went the wayH1870 toward the plainH6160.
5And the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 after the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and all his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him.
6And they took the kingH4428, and broughtH5927 him up to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 unto RiblahH7247; and they pronounced judgmentH4941 upon him,
7and slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put out the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with chains of brass, and carried him to BabylonH894.
8And in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, on the seventh of the monthH2320, which was in the nineteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 unto JerusalemH3389;
9and he burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the king's houseH1004, and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389; and every greatH1419 [man's] houseH1004 he burnedH8313 with fireH784.
10And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that were with the captain of the body-guard brokeH5422 down the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 roundH5439 about.
11And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and the deserters that had deserted to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the restH3499 of the multitudeH1995.
12But the captain of the body-guard leftH7604 of the poor of the landH776 for vinedressersH3755 and husbandmen.
13And the brazen pillarsH5982 that were in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen seaH3220 that was in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, the ChaldeansH3778 brokeH7665 in pieces, and carriedH5375 the brass thereof to BabylonH894.
14The cauldrons also and the shovelsH3257 and the knives and the cups, and all the vesselsH3627 of copperH5178 wherewith they ministered, they tookH3947 awayH3947.
15And the censersH4289 and the bowlsH4219, that which was of goldH2091 in goldH2091, and that which was of silverH3701 in silverH3701, the captain of the body-guard tookH3947 awayH3947.
