Jeremiah 52:4-16

41Now it cameH1961 about in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, on the tenthH6218 day of the tenthH6224 monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and allH3605 his armyH2428, againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, campedH2583 againstH5921 it and builtH1129 a 2siegeH1785 wallH1785 allH5439 aroundH5439 3it. 54So the cityH5892 was under siegeH4692 untilH5704 the eleventhH6249H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 6On the ninthH8672 day of the 5fourthH7243 monthH2320 the 6famineH7458 was so severeH2388 in the cityH5892 that there was noH3808 foodH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 7Then the cityH5892 was 7brokenH1234 into, and allH3605 the 8menH376 of warH4421 fledH1272 and wentH3318 forthH3318 from the cityH5892 at nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346 whichH834 was by the king’sH4428 gardenH1588, though the ChaldeansH3778 were 910allH5439 aroundH5439 the cityH5892. And they wentH1980 by wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160. 8But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 the kingH4428 and 11overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the 12plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405, and allH3605 his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 9Then they capturedH8610 the kingH4428 and 13broughtH5927 him up to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at 14RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of 15HamathH2574, and he 16passedH1696 sentenceH1696 on him. 10The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 17slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and he alsoH1571 slaughteredH7819 allH3605 the 18princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247. 11Then he 19blindedH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 fettersH5178 and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894 and putH5414 him in prisonH1004H6486 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.

1220Now on the tenthH6218 day of the fifthH2549 monthH2320, whichH1931 was the 21nineteenthH8672H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, 22NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the bodyguardH2876, 23who was in the serviceH5975H6440 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 13He 24burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, the 25king’sH4428 houseH1004 and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389; even everyH3605 largeH1419 houseH1004 he burnedH8313 with fireH784. 14So allH3605 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 whoH834 were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 26brokeH5422 downH5422 allH3605 the wallsH2346 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389. 15Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 27carriedH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 someH4480 of the poorestH1803 of the peopleH5971, the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 who were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, the 2829desertersH5307 whoH834 had desertedH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and the restH3499 of the artisansH525. 16But 30NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 someH4480 of the poorestH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and 31plowmenH3009.
