1 H1961 And it came H8671 to pass in the ninth H8141 year H4427 of his reign, H6218 in the tenth H2320 month, H6218 in the tenth H2320 day of the month, H5019 that Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H935 came, H3605 he, and all H2428 his host, H5921 against H3389 Jerusalem, H2583 and pitched H5921 against H1129 it; and they built H1785 forts H5921 against H5439 it round about.

2 H5892 And the city H935 was besieged H4692 H6249 to the eleventh H6240 H8141 year H4428 of king H6667 Zedekiah.

3 H8672 And on the ninth H2320 day of the fourth month H7458 the famine H2388 prevailed H5892 in the city, H3808 and there was no H3899 bread H5971 for the people H776 of the land.

4 H5892 And the city H1234 was broken H3605 up, and all H582 the men H4421 of war H3915 fled by night H1870 by the way H8179 of the gate H996 between H2346 two walls, H834 which H4428 is by the king’s H1588 garden: H3778 (now the Chaldees H5921 were against H5892 the city H5439 round H3212 about:) and the king went H1870 the way H1870 toward H6160 the plain.

5 H2428 And the army H3778 of the Chaldees H7291 pursued H310 after H4428 the king, H5381 and overtook H6160 him in the plains H3405 of Jericho: H3605 and all H2428 his army H6327 were scattered from him.

6 H8610 So they took H4428 the king, H5927 and brought H4428 him up to the king H894 of Babylon H7247 to Riblah; H1696 and they gave H4941 judgment on him.

7 H7819 And they slew H1121 the sons H6667 of Zedekiah H5869 before his eyes, H5786 and put H5869 out the eyes H6667 of Zedekiah, H631 and bound H5178 him with fetters H5178 of brass, H935 and carried H894 him to Babylon.

8 H2549 And in the fifth H2320 month, H7651 on the seventh H2320 day of the month, H1958 which H8672 is the nineteenth H6240 H8141 year H4428 of king H5019 Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon, H935 came H5018 Nebuzaradan, H7227 captain H2876 of the guard, H5650 a servant H4428 of the king H894 of Babylon, H3389 to Jerusalem:

9 H8313 And he burnt H1004 the house H3068 of the LORD, H4428 and the king’s H1004 house, H3605 and all H1004 the houses H3389 of Jerusalem, H3605 and every H1419 great H1004 man’s house H8313 burnt H784 he with fire.

10 H3605 And all H2428 the army H3778 of the Chaldees, H7227 that were with the captain H2876 of the guard, H5422 broke H5422 down H2346 the walls H3389 of Jerusalem H5439 round about.

11 H3499 Now the rest H5971 of the people H7604 that were left H5892 in the city, H5307 and the fugitives H5307 that fell H4428 away to the king H894 of Babylon, H3499 with the remnant H1995 of the multitude, H5018 did Nebuzaradan H7227 the captain H2876 of the guard H1540 carry H1540 away.

12 H7227 But the captain H2876 of the guard H7604 left H1803 of the door of the poor H776 of the land H3755 to be vinedressers H1461 and farmers.

13 H5982 And the pillars H5178 of brass H1004 that were in the house H3068 of the LORD, H4350 and the bases, H5178 and the brazen H3220 sea H1004 that was in the house H3068 of the LORD, H3778 did the Chaldees H7665 break H5375 in pieces, and carried H5178 the brass H894 of them to Babylon.

14 H5518 And the pots, H3257 and the shovels, H4212 and the snuffers, H3709 and the spoons, H3605 and all H3627 the vessels H5178 of brass H834 with which H8334 they ministered, H3947 took they away.

15 H4289 And the fire pans, H4219 and the bowls, H2091 and such things as were of gold, H2091 in gold, H3701 and of silver, H3701 in silver, H7227 the captain H2876 of the guard H3947 took away.

16 H8147 The two H5982 pillars, H259 one H3220 sea, H4350 and the bases H834 which H8010 Solomon H6213 had made H1004 for the house H3068 of the LORD; H5178 the brass H3605 of all H428 these H3627 vessels H3808 was without H4948 weight.

17 H6967 The height H259 of the one H5982 pillar H8083 was eighteen H6240 H520 cubits, H3805 and the capital H5178 on it was brass: H6967 and the height H3805 of the capital H7969 three H520 cubits; H7639 and the wreathen H7639 work, H7416 and pomegranates H3805 on the capital H5439 round H3605 about, all H5178 of brass: H428 and like to these H8145 had the second H5982 pillar H7639 with wreathen H7639 work.

18 H7227 And the captain H2876 of the guard H3947 took H8304 Seraiah H7218 the chief H3548 priest, H6846 and Zephaniah H4932 the second H3548 priest, H7969 and the three H8104 keepers H5592 of the door:

19 H5892 And out of the city H3947 he took H5631 an officer H6496 that was set H5921 over H582 the men H4421 of war, H2568 and five H582 men H4428 of them that were in the king’s H6440 presence, H834 which H4672 were found H5892 in the city, H8269 and the principal H5608 scribe H6635 of the host, H6633 which mustered H5971 the people H776 of the land, H8346 and three score H376 men H5971 of the people H776 of the land H4672 that were found H5892 in the city:

20 H5018 And Nebuzaradan H7227 captain H2876 of the guard H3947 took H3212 these, and brought H4428 them to the king H894 of Babylon H7247 to Riblah:

21 H4428 And the king H894 of Babylon H5221 smote H4191 them, and slew H7247 them at Riblah H776 in the land H2574 of Hamath. H3063 So Judah H1540 was carried H1540 away H127 out of their land.

22 H5971 And as for the people H7604 that remained H776 in the land H3063 of Judah, H834 whom H5019 Nebuchadnezzar H4428 king H894 of Babylon H7604 had left, H5921 even over H1436 them he made Gedaliah H1121 the son H296 of Ahikam, H1121 the son H8227 of Shaphan, H6485 ruler.

23 H3605 And when all H8269 the captains H2428 of the armies, H582 they and their men, H8085 heard H4428 that the king H894 of Babylon H1436 had made Gedaliah H6485 governor, H935 there came H1436 to Gedaliah H4709 to Mizpah, H3458 even Ishmael H1121 the son H5418 of Nethaniah, H3110 and Johanan H1121 the son H7143 of Careah, H8304 and Seraiah H1121 the son H8576 of Tanhumeth H5200 the Netophathite, H2970 and Jaazaniah H1121 the son H4602 of a Maachathite, H582 they and their men.

24 H1436 And Gedaliah H7650 swore H582 to them, and to their men, H559 and said H3372 to them, Fear H5650 not to be the servants H3778 of the Chaldees: H3427 dwell H776 in the land, H5647 and serve H4428 the king H894 of Babylon; H3190 and it shall be well with you.

25 H1961 But it came H7637 to pass in the seventh H2320 month, H3458 that Ishmael H1121 the son H5418 of Nethaniah, H1121 the son H476 of Elishama, H2233 of the seed H4410 royal, H935 came, H6235 and ten H582 men H5221 with him, and smote H1436 Gedaliah, H4191 that he died, H3064 and the Jews H3778 and the Chaldees H4709 that were with him at Mizpah.

26 H3605 And all H5971 the people, H6996 both small H1419 and great, H8269 and the captains H2428 of the armies, H6965 arose, H935 and came H4714 to Egypt: H3372 for they were afraid H3778 of the Chaldees.

27 H1961 And it came H7651 to pass in the seven H7970 and thirtieth H8141 year H1546 of the captivity H3078 of Jehoiachin H4428 king H3063 of Judah, H8147 in the twelfth H6240 H2320 month, H7651 on the seven H6242 and twentieth H2320 day of the month, H192 that Evilmerodach H4428 king H894 of Babylon H8141 in the year H4427 that he began to reign H5375 did lift H7218 up the head H3078 of Jehoiachin H4428 king H3063 of Judah H1004 out of prison;

28 H1696 And he spoke H2896 kindly H5414 to him, and set H3678 his throne H5921 above H3678 the throne H4428 of the kings H894 that were with him in Babylon;

29 H8132 And changed H1004 his prison H3608 H899 garments: H398 and he did eat H3899 bread H8548 continually H6440 before H3605 him all H3117 the days H2416 of his life.

30 H737 And his allowance H8548 was a continual H737 allowance H5414 given H4428 him of the king, H3117 a daily H1697 rate H3117 for every day, H3605 all H3117 the days H2416 of his life.
