2 Kings 25:4-12

JuliaSmith(i) 4 And the city will be broken up, and all the men of war by night the way of the gate between the walls by the king's garden: (and the Chaldees against the city round about;) and he will go the way of the sterile region. 5 And the strength of the Chaldees will pursue after the king, and they will overtake him in the sterile region of Jericho: and all his strength was scattered from him. 6 And they will seize the king and bring him up to the king of Babel to Riblah; and they will speak judgment with him. 7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he will bind him with fetters, and bring him to Babel. 8 And in the fifth month, in the seventh to the month. (this year the nineteenth year to king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babel,) came Nebuzaradan, chief of the cooks, servant of the king of Babel, to Jerusalem. 9 And he will burn the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt in fire. 10 And the walls of Jerusalem round about, all the strength of the Chaldees which were with the chief of the cooks brake down. 11 And the rest of the people being left in the city, and those falling away which fell to the king of Babel, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the cooks carried into exile. 12 And of the powerless of the land the chief of the cooks left for vine-dressers and for ploughers.
