2 Kings 25:1-9

11Now in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, on the tenthH6218 day of the tenthH6224 monthH2320, 2NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and allH3605 his armyH2428, againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, campedH2583 againstH5921 it, and 3builtH1129 a siegeH1785 wallH1785 allH5439 aroundH5439 4it. 2So the cityH5892 was under siegeH4692 untilH5704 the eleventhH6249H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 3On the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 5the famineH7458 was so severeH2388 in the cityH5892 that there was noH3808 foodH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 46Then the cityH5892 was brokenH1234 into, and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346 that were besideH5921 7the king’sH4428 gardenH1588, though the ChaldeansH3778 were allH5439 aroundH5439 the cityH5892. And 8they wentH1980 by wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160. 5But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 the kingH4428 and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405, and allH3605 his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 6Then 9they capturedH8610 the kingH4428 and 10broughtH5927 him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at 11RiblahH7247, and he 12passedH1696 sentenceH4941 on him. 7And 13they slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, then 14putH5786 outH5786 Zedekiah’sH6667 eyesH5869 and boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 shacklesH5178, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894.

815Now on the seventhH7651 day of the 16fifthH2549 monthH2320, whichH1931 was the nineteenthH8672H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the bodyguardsH2876, a servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 9And 17he burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, 18the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389; even everyH3605 greatH1419 houseH1004 he burnedH8313 with fireH784.
