SIDQI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
Sidqi Yah is a son of twenty-one years when he begins to reign; and he reigns eleven years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Hamutal the daughter of Yirme Yah of Libnah. 19 And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh, according to all Yah Yaqim worked. 20 For the wrath of Yah Veh is against Yeru Shalem and against Yah Hudah until he casts them from his face, that Sidqi Yah rebels against the sovereign of Babel. 25 1
THE FALL OF YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes - he and all his valiant, against Yeru Shalem and encamps against it and builds forts all around against it: 2 and besieges the city to the eleventh year of sovereign Sidqi Yah: 3 and on the ninth of the month the famine prevails in the city; and there is no bread for the people of the land: 4 and the city splits - all the men of war by night by the way of the portal between two walls by the garden of the sovereign: - and the Kasdiy are against the city all around: and go the way toward the plain. 5 And the valiant of the Kasdiy pursue the sovereign and overtake him in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him: 6 and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel to Riblah; and they word judgment on him: 7 and they slaughter the sons of Sidqi Yah in front of his eyes; and blind the eyes of Sidqi Yah and bind him with fetters of copper and carry him to Babel. 8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month - the nineteenth year of sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel, Nebu Zaradan the great slaughterer a servant of the sovereign of Babel, comes to Yeru Shalem: 9 and he burns the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign and all the houses of Yeru Shalem and burns every great house with fire: 10 and all the valiant of the Kasdiy with the great slaughterer pull down the walls of Yeru Shalem all around. 11 And Nebu Zaradan the great slaughterer exiles the rest of the people in the city who survive with the fugitives who fell away to the sovereign of Babel with the remnant of the multitude: 12 and the great slaughterer had the poor of the land survive to be vinedressers and plowers. 13 And the Kasdiy break the pillars of copper in the house of Yah Veh and the bases and the copper sea in the house of Yah Veh and lift their copper to Babel: 14 and they take away the caldrons and the shovels and the tweezers and the bowls and all the instruments of copper wherewith they ministered: 15 and the great slaughterer takes away the trays and the sprinklers and such as are of gold in gold and of silver in silver: 16 the two pillars, one sea and the bases which Shelomoh worked for the house of Yah Veh; the copper of all these instruments was not weighed. 17 The height of the one pillar, eighteen cubits, and the cap thereon, copper: and the height of the cap, three cubits; and the netting, and pomegranates on the cap all around - all of copper: and like these, the second pillar with netting. 18 And the great slaughterer takes Sera Yah the head priest and Sephan Yah the second priest and the three guards of the threshold: 19 and from the city he takes one eunuch - overseer over the men of war and five of their men who see the face of the sovereign whom they find in the city; and the scribe of the governor of the host who hosts the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land whom they find in the city: 20 and Nebu Zaradan captain of the slaughterers takes them and walks them to the sovereign of Babel to Riblah: 21 and the sovereign of Babel smites them and deathifies them at Riblah in the land of Hamath: and he exiles Yah Hudah from their soil. 22 And as for the people who survive in the land of Yah Hudah, whom Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel let survive, he made Gedal Yah the son of Achiy Qam the son of Shaphan overseer over them. 23 And all the governors of the valiant - they and their men hear that the sovereign of Babel makes Gedal Yah overseer; and there comes to Gedal Yah to Mispeh even Yishma El the son of Nethan Yah and Yah Hanan the son of Qareach and Sera Yah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathiy and Yaazan Yah the son of a Maachahiy - they and their men: 24 and Gedal Yah oaths to them and to their men and says to them, Awe not to be the servants of the Kasdiy: settle in the land and serve the sovereign of Babel; and it is well-pleasing with you. 25 And so be it, in the seventh month, Yishma El the son of Nethan Yah the son of Eli Shama of the seed of the sovereigndom comes - and ten men with him and smites Gedal Yah so that he dies - he and the Yah Hudiym and the Kasdiym with him at Mispeh: 26 and all the people - both small and great and the governors of the valiant rise and come to Misrayim: for they awe to face the Kasdiy. 27 And so be it, in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil Merodach sovereign of Babel in the year he begins to reign lifts the head of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah from the house of prison; 28 and he words good to him; and gives his throne above the throne of the sovereigns with him in Babel; 29 and changes his prison clothes: and he eats bread continually at his face all the days of his life: 30 and his ration is a continual ration given him by the sovereign - the day by day word, all the days of his life.
