1 # And it came to pass in the ninth <08671> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800), in the tenth <06224> month <02320>, in the tenth <06218> day of the month <02320>, that Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935> (8804), he, and all his host <02428>, against Jerusalem <03389>, and pitched <02583> (8799) against it; and they built <01129> (8799) forts <01785> against it round about <05439>.
2 And the city <05892> was besieged <0935> (8799) <04692> unto the eleventh <06249> <06240> year <08141> of king <04428> Zedekiah <06667>.
3 And on the ninth <08672> day of the fourth month <02320> the famine <07458> prevailed <02388> (8799) in the city <05892>, and there was no bread <03899> for the people <05971> of the land <0776>.
4 And the city <05892> was broken up <01234> (8735), and all the men <0582> of war <04421> fled by night <03915> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> between two walls <02346>, which is by the king's <04428> garden <01588> : (now the Chaldees <03778> were against the city <05892> round about <05439>:) and the king went <03212> (8799) the way <01870> toward the plain <06160>.
5 And the army <02428> of the Chaldees <03778> pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310> the king <04428> , and overtook <05381> (8686) him in the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>: and all his army <02428> were scattered <06327> (8738) from him.
6 So they took <08610> (8799) the king <04428>, and brought him up <05927> (8686) to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247>; and they gave <01696> (8762) judgment <04941> upon him.
7 And they slew <07819> (8804) the sons <01121> of Zedekiah <06667> before his eyes <05869>, and put out <05786> (8765) the eyes <05869> of Zedekiah <06667>, and bound <0631> (8799) him with fetters <05178> of brass <05178> , and carried <0935> (8686) him to Babylon <0894>.
8 # And in the fifth <02549> month <02320>, on the seventh <07651> day of the month <02320>, which is the nineteenth <08672> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of king <04428> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, came <0935> (8804) Nebuzaradan <05018>, captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, a servant <05650> of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, unto Jerusalem <03389>:
9 And he burnt <08313> (8799) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king's <04428> house <01004> , and all the houses <01004> of Jerusalem <03389>, and every great <01419> man's house <01004> burnt <08313> (8804) he with fire <0784>.
10 And all the army <02428> of the Chaldees <03778>, that were with the captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, brake down <05422> (8804) the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389> round about <05439>.
11 Now the rest <03499> of the people <05971> that were left <07604> (8737) in the city <05892>, and the fugitives <05307> (8802) that fell away <05307> (8804) to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, with the remnant <03499> of the multitude <01995>, did Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> carry away <01540> (8689).
12 But the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> left <07604> (8689) of the poor <01803> of the land <0776> to be vinedressers <03755> and husbandmen <03009> (8802) (8675) <01461> (8801).
13 And the pillars <05982> of brass <05178> that were in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the bases <04350>, and the brasen <05178> sea <03220> that was in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, did the Chaldees <03778> break in pieces <07665> (8765), and carried <05375> (8799) the brass <05178> of them to Babylon <0894>.
14 And the pots <05518>, and the shovels <03257>, and the snuffers <04212>, and the spoons <03709>, and all the vessels <03627> of brass <05178> wherewith they ministered <08334> (8762), took they away <03947> (8804).
15 And the firepans <04289>, and the bowls <04219>, and such things as were of gold <02091>, in gold <02091> , and of silver <03701>, in silver <03701>, the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took away <03947> (8804) .
16 The two <08147> pillars <05982>, one <0259> sea <03220>, and the bases <04350> which Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; the brass <05178> of all these vessels <03627> was without <03808> weight <04948>.
17 The height <06967> of the one <0259> pillar <05982> was eighteen <08083> <06240> cubits <0520> , and the chapiter <03805> upon it was brass <05178>: and the height <06967> of the chapiter <03805> three <07969> cubits <0520>; and the wreathen work <07639>, and pomegranates <07416> upon the chapiter <03805> round about <05439>, all of brass <05178> : and like unto these had the second <08145> pillar <05982> with wreathen work <07639>.
18 And the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took <03947> (8799) Seraiah <08304> the chief <07218> priest <03548>, and Zephaniah <06846> the second <04932> priest <03548>, and the three <07969> keepers <08104> (8802) of the door <05592>:
19 And out of the city <05892> he took <03947> (8804) an <0259> officer <05631> that was set <06496> over the men <0582> of war <04421>, and five <02568> men <0582> of them that were <07200> (8802) in the king's <04428> presence <06440>, which were found <04672> (8738) in the city <05892>, and the principal <08269> scribe <05608> (8802) of the host <06635>, which mustered <06633> (8688) the people <05971> of the land <0776>, and threescore <08346> men <0376> of the people <05971> of the land <0776> that were found <04672> (8737) in the city <05892>:
20 And Nebuzaradan <05018> captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took <03947> (8799) these, and brought <03212> (8686) them to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247>:
21 And the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> smote <05221> (8686) them, and slew <04191> (8686) them at Riblah <07247> in the land <0776> of Hamath <02574>. So Judah <03063> was carried away <01540> (8799) out of their land <0127>.
22 # And as for the people <05971> that remained <07604> (8737) in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>, whom Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> had left <07604> (8689), even over them he made Gedaliah <01436> the son <01121> of Ahikam <0296>, the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>, ruler <06485> (8686).
23 And when all the captains <08269> of the armies <02428>, they and their men <0582>, heard <08085> (8799) that the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> had made Gedaliah <01436> governor <06485> (8689), there came <0935> (8799) to Gedaliah <01436> to Mizpah <04709>, even Ishmael <03458> the son <01121> of Nethaniah <05418>, and Johanan <03110> the son <01121> of Careah <07143>, and Seraiah <08304> the son <01121> of Tanhumeth <08576> the Netophathite <05200>, and Jaazaniah <02970> the son <01121> of a Maachathite <04602>, they and their men <0582>.
24 And Gedaliah <01436> sware <07650> (8735) to them, and to their men <0582>, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Fear <03372> (8799) not to be the servants <05650> of the Chaldees <03778>: dwell <03427> (8798) in the land <0776>, and serve <05647> (8798) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>; and it shall be well <03190> (8799) with you.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh <07637> month <02320>, that Ishmael <03458> the son <01121> of Nethaniah <05418> , the son <01121> of Elishama <0476>, of the seed <02233> royal <04410>, came <0935> (8804), and ten <06235> men <0582> with him, and smote <05221> (8686) Gedaliah <01436>, that he died <04191> (8799), and the Jews <03064> and the Chaldees <03778> that were with him at Mizpah <04709>.
26 And all the people <05971>, both small <06996> and great <01419>, and the captains <08269> of the armies <02428> , arose <06965> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) to Egypt <04714>: for they were afraid <03372> (8804) of <06440> the Chaldees <03778>.
27 And it came to pass in the seven <07651> and thirtieth <07970> year <08141> of the captivity <01546> of Jehoiachin <03078> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, in the twelfth <08147> <06240> month <02320>, on the seven <07651> and twentieth <06242> day of the month <02320>, that Evilmerodach <0192> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> in the year <08141> that he began to reign <04427> (8800) did lift up <05375> (8804) the head <07218> of Jehoiachin <03078> king <04428> of Judah <03063> out of prison <01004> <03608>;
28 And he spake <01696> (8762) kindly <02896> to him, and set <05414> (8799) his throne <03678> above the throne <03678> of the kings <04428> that were with him in Babylon <0894>;
29 And changed <08132> (8765) his prison <03608> garments <0899>: and he did eat <0398> (8804) bread <03899> continually <08548> before <06440> him all the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
30 And his allowance <0737> was a continual <08548> allowance <0737> given <05414> (8738) him of the king <04428>, a daily <03117> <03117> rate <01697> for every day <03117>, all the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
