Jeremiah 52:1-11

11ZedekiahH6667 was twenty-oneH6242H259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for elevenH259H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was 23HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of 4LibnahH3841. 2He didH6213 5evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, in accordance with everythingH3605 that 6JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213. 3For becauseH5921 of the 7angerH639 of the LordH3068 this cameH1961 aboutH1961 in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, untilH5704 He droveH7993 them outH7993 from His presenceH6440. And ZedekiahH6667 8revoltedH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 49Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 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 1011bulwarkH1785 allH5439 aroundH5439 12it. 513So the cityH5892 was under siegeH4692 untilH5704 the eleventhH6249H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 6On the ninthH8672 day of the 14fourthH7243 monthH2320 the 15famineH7458 was so severeH2388 in the cityH5892 that there was noH3808 foodH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 7Then the cityH5892 was 16breachedH1234, and allH3605 the 17warriorsH376H4421 fledH1272 and leftH3318 the cityH5892 at nightH3915 by wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the two wallsH2346 whichH834 was by the king’sH4428 gardenH1588, though the ChaldeansH3778 were 1819allH5439 aroundH5439 the cityH5892. And they wentH1980 by wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160. 8But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 the kingH4428 and 20overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the 21desertH6160 plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405, and allH3605 his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 9Then they capturedH8610 the kingH4428 and 22broughtH5927 him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 at 23RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of 24HamathH2574, and he 25passedH1696 sentenceH1696 on him. 10And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 26slaughteredH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and he alsoH1571 slaughteredH7819 allH3605 the commandersH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247. 11Then he 27blindedH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 shacklesH5178 and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894 and putH5414 him in prisonH1004H6486 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.
