1And it cameH935 to passH935 in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6224 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and allH3605 his armyH2428, againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, and encampedH2583 againstH5921 it; and they builtH1129 forts againstH5921 it roundH5439 aboutH1961. 2SoH935 the cityH5892 was besiegedH4692 unto the eleventhH6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 3On the ninthH8672 dayH2320 of the fourth monthH2320 the famineH7458 was sore in the cityH5892, soH1961 that there was noH3808 breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 4Then a breachH1234 was madeH3605 in the cityH5892, and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 betweenH996 the twoH2346 wallsH2346, whichH834 was by the king’sH4428 gardenH1588: (now the ChaldeansH3778 were againstH5921 the cityH5892 roundH5439 aboutH5439:) and the kingH4428 wentH376 by the wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160. 5But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and allH3605 his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 6Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carriedH5927 him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247; and they gave judgmentH4941 uponH413 him. 7And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 beforeH5869 his eyesH5869, and putH935 outH935 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him in fettersH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. 8NowH7227 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, on the seventhH7651 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, whichH1931 was the nineteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, a servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, unto JerusalemH3389: 9And he burntH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004; and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, evenH853 everyH3605 greatH1419 houseH1004, burntH8313 he with fireH784. 10And allH3605 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 11And the residue of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and thoseH834 that fellH5307 awayH1540, that fellH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the residue of the multitudeH1995, didH834 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carryH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540. 12But the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorest of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and husbandmen. 13And the pillarsH5982 of brassH5178 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the bases and the brasen seaH3220 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, didH834 the ChaldeansH3778 breakH7665 in piecesH7665, and carriedH5375 the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894. 14And the potsH5518, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the spoonsH3709, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, tookH3947 they awayH3947. 15And the firepansH4289, and the basons; that whichH834 was of goldH2091, in goldH2091; and that whichH834 was of silverH3701, in silverH3701, the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 awayH3947. 16The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, the one seaH3220, and the bases, whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the brassH5178 of allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627 was withoutH3808 weightH4948. 17The heightH6967 of the one pillarH5982 was eighteenH6240 cubitsH520, and a chapiter of brassH5178 was uponH5921 it: and the heightH6967 of the chapiter was threeH7969 cubitsH520; with networkH7639 and pomegranatesH7416 uponH5921 the chapiter roundH5439 aboutH5439, allH3605 of brassH5178: and like unto theseH428 had the secondH8145 pillarH5982 with networkH7639. 18And the captainH7227 of the guardH8104 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the door: 19and outH4480 of the cityH5892 he tookH3947 an officerH5631 that was setH834 over the menH376 of warH4421; and fiveH2568 menH376 of them that sawH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440, whichH834 were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the scribeH5608, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, whichH834 musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and threescore menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that were foundH4672 in the cityH5892. 20And NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them, and broughtH3947 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247. 21And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and putH4191 them to deathH4191 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574. SoH4191 JudahH3063 was carriedH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540 outH5921 of his landH776. 22And as for the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, whomH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH7604, evenH853 over them he madeH6485 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, governor. 23NowH3588 when allH3605 the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, they and their menH376, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had madeH6485 GedaliahH1436 governorH8269, they cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4709, evenH3588 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576 the NetophathiteH5200, and JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of the MaacathiteH4602, they and their menH376. 24And GedaliahH1436 sware to them and to their menH376, and saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 notH408 becauseH559 of the servantsH5650 of the ChaldeansH3778: dwellH3427 in the landH776, and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and it shall be wellH3190 with youH853. 25But it cameH935 to passH935 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royalH4410, cameH935, and tenH6235 menH376 with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436, that he diedH4191, and the JewsH3064 and the ChaldeansH3778 that were with him at MizpahH4709. 26And allH3605 the peopleH5971, bothH3605 smallH6996 and greatH1419, and the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428, aroseH6965, and cameH935 to EgyptH4714: for they were afraidH3372 of the ChaldeansH3778. 27And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivity of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfth monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, that Evil-merodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, in the yearH8141 that he beganH1961 to reignH4427, did liftH5375 upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 outH8147 of prisonH3608; 28and he spake kindlyH2896 to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 aboveH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894. 29and he changedH8132 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899, and didH3117 eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 him continuallyH8548 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117. 30and for his allowanceH737, there was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, everyH3605 dayH3117 a portionH1697, allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117.
