1 # Zedekiah <06667> was one <0259> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned <04427> (8804) eleven <0259> <06240> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389> . And his mother's <0517> name <08034> was Hamutal <02537> the daughter <01323> of Jeremiah <03414> of Libnah <03841>.
2 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was evil <07451> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, according to all that Jehoiakim <03079> had done <06213> (8804).
3 For through <05921> the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> it came to pass in Jerusalem <03389> and Judah <03063> , till he had cast them out <07993> (8687) from his presence <06440>, that Zedekiah <06667> rebelled <04775> (8799) against the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>.
4 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 Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935> (8804), he and all his army <02428>, against Jerusalem <03389>, and pitched <02583> (8799) against it, and built <01129> (8799) forts <01785> against it round about <05439>.
5 So <0935> (8799) the city <05892> was besieged <04692> unto the eleventh <06249> <06240> year <08141> of king <04428> Zedekiah <06667>.
6 And in the fourth <07243> month <02320>, in the ninth <08672> day of the month <02320>, the famine <07458> was sore <02388> (8799) in the city <05892>, so that there was no bread <03899> for the people <05971> of the land <0776> .
7 Then the city <05892> was broken up <01234> (8735), and all the men <0582> of war <04421> fled <01272> (8799), and went forth <03318> (8799) out of the city <05892> by night <03915> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> between the two walls <02346>, which was by the king's <04428> garden <01588>; (now the Chaldeans <03778> were by the city <05892> round about <05439>:) and they went <03212> (8799) by the way <01870> of the plain <06160>.
8 But the army <02428> of the Chaldeans <03778> pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310> the king <04428> , and overtook <05381> (8686) Zedekiah <06667> in the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>; and all his army <02428> was scattered <06327> (8738) from him.
9 Then they took <08610> (8799) the king <04428>, and carried him up <05927> (8686) unto the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247> in the land <0776> of Hamath <02574>; where he gave <01696> (8762) judgment <04941> upon him.
10 And the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> slew <07819> (8799) the sons <01121> of Zedekiah <06667> before his eyes <05869>: he slew <07819> (8804) also all the princes <08269> of Judah <03063> in Riblah <07247>.
11 Then he put out <05786> (8765) the eyes <05869> of Zedekiah <06667>; and the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> bound <0631> (8799) him in chains <05178>, and carried <0935> (8686) him to Babylon <0894>, and put <05414> (8799) him in prison <01004> <06486> till the day <03117> of his death <04194>.
12 # Now in the fifth <02549> month <02320>, in the tenth <06218> day of the month <02320>, which was the nineteenth <08672> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, came <0935> (8804) Nebuzaradan <05018>, captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, which served <05975> (8804) <06440> the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, into Jerusalem <03389>,
13 And burned <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 all the houses <01004> of the great <01419> men, burned <08313> (8804) he with fire <0784>:
14 And all the army <02428> of the Chaldeans <03778>, that were with the captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, brake down <05422> (8804) all the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389> round about <05439>.
15 Then Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> carried away captive <01540> (8689) certain of the poor <01803> of the people <05971>, and the residue <03499> of the people <05971> that remained <07604> (8737) in the city <05892>, and those that fell away <05307> (8802), that fell <05307> (8804) to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and the rest <03499> of the multitude <0527>.
16 But Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> left <07604> (8689) certain of the poor <01803> of the land <0776> for vinedressers <03755> and for husbandmen <03009> (8802).
17 Also 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>, the Chaldeans <03778> brake <07665> (8765), and carried <05375> (8799) all the brass <05178> of them to Babylon <0894>.
18 The caldrons <05518> also, and the shovels <03257>, and the snuffers <04212>, and the bowls <04219>, and the spoons <03709>, and all the vessels <03627> of brass <05178> wherewith they ministered <08334> (8762), took they away <03947> (8804) .
19 And the basons <05592>, and the firepans <04289>, and the bowls <04219>, and the caldrons <05518>, and the candlesticks <04501>, and the spoons <03709>, and the cups <04518>; that which was of gold <02091> in gold <02091>, and that which was of silver <03701> in silver <03701>, took <03947> <00> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> away <03947> (8804).
20 The two <08147> pillars <05982>, one <0259> sea <03220>, and twelve <08147> <06240> brasen <05178> bulls <01241> that were under the bases <04350>, which king <04428> Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: the brass <05178> of all these vessels <03627> was without weight <04948>.
21 And concerning the pillars <05982>, the height <06967> of one <0259> pillar <05982> was eighteen <08083> <06240> cubits <0520>; and a fillet <02339> of twelve <08147> <06240> cubits <0520> did compass <05437> (8799) it; and the thickness <05672> thereof was four <0702> fingers <0676>: it was hollow <05014> (8803).
22 And a chapiter <03805> of brass <05178> was upon it; and the height <06967> of one <0259> chapiter <03805> was five <02568> cubits <0520>, with network <07639> and pomegranates <07416> upon the chapiters <03805> round about <05439>, all of brass <05178>. The second <08145> pillar <05982> also and the pomegranates <07416> were like unto these.
23 And there were ninety <08673> and six <08337> pomegranates <07416> on a side <07307>; and all the pomegranates <07416> upon the network <07639> were an hundred <03967> round about <05439>.
24 # 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>:
25 He took <03947> (8804) also out of the city <05892> an <0259> eunuch <05631>, which had the charge <06496> of the men <0582> of war <04421>; and seven <07651> men <0582> of them that were near <07200> (8802) the king's <04428> person <06440>, which were found <04672> (8738) in the city <05892>; and the principal <08269> scribe <05608> (8802) of the host <06635>, who 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 midst <08432> of the city <05892>.
26 So Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took <03947> (8799) them, and brought <03212> (8686) them to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247>.
27 And the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> smote <05221> (8686) them, and put them to death <04191> (8686) in Riblah <07247> in the land <0127> of Hamath <02574>. Thus Judah <03063> was carried away captive <01540> (8799) out of his own land <0776>.
28 This is the people <05971> whom Nebuchadrezzar <05019> carried away captive <01540> (8689): in the seventh <07651> year <08141> three <07969> thousand <0505> Jews <03064> and three <07969> and twenty <06242>:
29 In the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> he carried away captive <01540> (8689) from Jerusalem <03389> eight <08083> hundred <03967> thirty <07970> and two <08147> persons <05315>:
30 In the three <07969> and twentieth <06242> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> carried away captive <01540> (8689) of the Jews <03064> seven <07651> hundred <03967> forty <0705> and five <02568> persons <05315>: all the persons <05315> were four <0702> thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967>.
31 # 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>, in the five <02568> and twentieth <06242> day of the month <02320>, that Evilmerodach <0192> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> in the first year <08141> of his reign <04438> lifted up <05375> (8804) the head <07218> of Jehoiachin <03078> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and brought him forth <03318> (8686) out of prison <01004> <03628>,
32 And spake <01696> (8762) kindly <02896> unto him, and set <05414> (8799) his throne <03678> above <04605> the throne <03678> of the kings <04428> that were with him in Babylon <0894>,
33 And changed <08138> (8765) his prison <03608> garments <0899>: and he did continually <08548> eat <0398> (8804) bread <03899> before <06440> him all the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
34 And for his diet <0737>, there was a continual <08548> diet <0737> given <05414> (8738) him of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, every <03117> day <03117> a portion <01697> until the day <03117> of his death <04194> , all the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
