Jeremiah 52
Revised Version 1895
1ZedekiahH6667 was one and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. 2And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to allH3605 that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213. 3For throughH5921 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 did it comeH1961 to passH1961 in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, untilH5704 he had castH7993 them outH6440 from his presenceH6440: and ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 againstH5921 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 4And it cameH935 to passH935 in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6224 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and allH3605 his armyH2428, againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, and encampedH2583 againstH5921 it; and they builtH1129 forts againstH5921 it roundH5439 aboutH1961. 5SoH935 the cityH5892 was besiegedH4692 unto the eleventhH6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667. 6In the fourthH7243 monthH2320, in the ninthH8672 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, the famineH7458 was sore in the cityH5892, soH1961 that there was noH3808 breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 7Then a breachH1234 was madeH3605 in the cityH5892, and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421 fledH1272, and wentH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892 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 they wentH3318 by the wayH1870 of the ArabahH6160. 8But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and allH3605 his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him. 9Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carriedH5927 him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; and he gave judgmentH4941 uponH413 him. 10And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 beforeH5869 his eyesH5869: he slewH7819 also allH3605 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247. 11And he putH5414 outH935 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in fettersH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prisonH1004 tillH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. 12NowH7227 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, whichH1931 was the nineteenth yearH8141 of kingH4428 NebuchadrezzarH5019, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, whichH1931 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, intoH935 JerusalemH3389: 13and he burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004; and allH3605 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, evenH853 everyH3605 greatH1419 houseH1004, burnedH8313 he with fireH784. 14And allH3605 the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 allH3605 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 roundH5439 aboutH5439. 15Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carriedH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540 of the poorest sort of the peopleH5971, and 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 multitude. 16But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorest of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and husbandmen. 17And 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 allH3605 the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894. 18The potsH5518 also, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the basons, and the spoonsH3709, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, tookH3947 they awayH3947. 19And the cups, and the firepansH4289, and the basons, and the potsH5518, and the candlesticks, and the spoonsH3709, and the bowlsH4219; that whichH834 was of goldH2091, in goldH2091, and that whichH834 was of silverH3701, in silverH3701, the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 awayH3947. 20The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, the one seaH3220, and the twelveH6240 brasen bullsH1241 that were underH8478 the bases, whichH834 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: the brassH5178 of allH3605 theseH428 vesselsH3627 was withoutH3808 weightH4948. 21And as for the pillarsH5982, the heightH6967 of the one pillarH5982 was eighteenH6240 cubitsH520; and a lineH2339 of twelveH6240 cubitsH520 did compass it; and the thicknessH5672 thereof was fourH702 fingersH676: it was hollowH5014. 22And a chapiter of brassH5178 was uponH5921 it; and the heightH6967 of the one chapiter was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, with networkH7639 and pomegranatesH7416 uponH5921 the chapiter roundH5439 aboutH5439, allH3605 of brassH5178: and the secondH8145 pillarH5982 also had like unto theseH428, and pomegranatesH7416. 23And there were ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 pomegranatesH7416 on the sidesH5439; allH3605 the pomegranatesH7416 were an hundredH3967 uponH5921 the networkH7639 roundH5439 aboutH1961. 24And the captainH7227 of the guardH8104 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the door: 25and outH4480 of the cityH5892 he tookH3947 an officerH5631 that was setH834 over the menH376 of warH4421; and sevenH7651 menH376 of them that sawH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440, whichH834 were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the scribeH5608 of the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, who musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and threescore menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that were foundH4672 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892. 26And NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them, and broughtH3947 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247. 27And 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. 28This is the peopleH5971 whomH834 NebuchadrezzarH5019 carriedH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540: in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 threeH7969 thousandH505 JewsH3064 and threeH7969 and twentyH6242: 29in the eighteenthH6240 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 he carried away captive from JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 personsH5315: 30in the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carriedH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540 of the JewsH3064 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568 personsH5315: allH3605 the personsH5315 were fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967. 31And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivity of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfth monthH2320, in the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, that Evil-merodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, in the firstH7218 yearH8141 of his reignH4438, liftedH5375 upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and broughtH3318 him forthH3318 outH3318 of prisonH1004; 32and he spake kindlyH2896 to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 aboveH4605 the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894. 33and he changed his prisonH3608 garmentsH899, and didH8138 eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 him continuallyH8548 allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117. 34and for his allowanceH737, there was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, everyH3605 dayH3117 a portionH1697 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117.
