Zedekiah{H6667} was one{H259} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} eleven{H259} years{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Hamutal{H2537} the daughter{H1323} of Jeremiah{H3414} of Libnah.{H3841}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} according to all that Jehoiakim{H3079} had done.{H6213}

For through{H5921} the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} did it come to pass in Jerusalem{H3389} and Judah,{H3063} until he had cast them out{H7993} from his presence.{H6440} And Zedekiah{H6667} rebelled{H4775} against the king{H4428} of Babylon.{H894}

And it came to pass in the ninth{H8671} year{H8141} of his reign,{H4427} in the tenth{H6224} month,{H2320} in the tenth{H6218} day of the month,{H2320} that Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} came,{H935} he and all his army,{H2428} against Jerusalem,{H3389} and encamped{H2583} against it; and they built{H1129} forts{H1785} against it round about.{H5439}

So{H935} the city{H5892} was besieged{H4692} unto the eleventh{H6249} year{H8141} of king{H4428} Zedekiah.{H6667}

In the fourth{H7243} month,{H2320} in the ninth{H8672} day of the month,{H2320} the famine{H7458} was sore{H2388} in the city,{H5892} so that there was no bread{H3899} for the people{H5971} of the land.{H776}

Then a breach{H1234} was made in the city,{H5892} and all the men{H582} of war{H4421} fled,{H1272} and went forth{H3318} out{H3318} of the city{H5892} by night{H3915} by the way{H1870} of the gate{H8179} between the two walls,{H2346} which was by the king's{H4428} garden;{H1588} (now the Chaldeans{H3778} were against the city{H5892} round about;){H5439} and they went{H3212} toward the Arabah.{H6160}

But the army{H2428} of the Chaldeans{H3778} pursued{H7291} after{H310} the king,{H4428} and overtook{H5381} Zedekiah{H6667} in the plains{H6160} of Jericho;{H3405} and all his army{H2428} was scattered{H6327} from him.

Then they took{H8610} the king,{H4428} and carried him up{H5927} unto the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} to Riblah{H7247} in the land{H776} of Hamath;{H2574} and he gave{H1696} judgment{H4941} upon him.

And the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} slew{H7819} the sons{H1121} of Zedekiah{H6667} before his eyes:{H5869} he slew{H7819} also all the princes{H8269} of Judah{H3063} in Riblah.{H7247}

And he put out{H5786} the eyes{H5869} of Zedekiah;{H6667} and the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} bound{H631} him in fetters,{H5178} and carried{H935} him to Babylon,{H894} and put{H5414} him in prison{H1004} till the day{H3117} of his death.{H4194}

Now in the fifth{H2549} month,{H2320} in the tenth{H6218} day of the month,{H2320} which was the nineteenth{H6240} year{H8141} of king{H4428} Nebuchadrezzar,{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} came{H935} Nebuzaradan{H5018} the captain{H7227} of the guard,{H2876} who stood before the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} into Jerusalem:{H3389}

and he burned{H8313} the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and the king's{H4428} house;{H1004} and all the houses{H1004} of Jerusalem,{H3389} even every great{H1419} house,{H1004} burned{H8313} he with fire.{H784}

And all the army{H2428} of the Chaldeans,{H3778} that were with the captain{H7227} of the guard,{H2876} brake down{H5422} all the walls{H2346} of Jerusalem{H3389} round about.{H5439}

Then Nebuzaradan{H5018} the captain{H7227} of the guard{H2876} carried away captive{H1540} of the poorest{H1803} of the people,{H5971} and the residue{H3499} of the people{H5971} that were left{H7604} in the city,{H5892} and those that fell away,{H5307} that fell{H5307} to the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} and the residue{H3499} of the multitude.{H527}

But Nebuzaradan{H5018} the captain{H7227} of the guard{H2876} left{H7604} of the poorest{H1803} of the land{H776} to be vinedressers{H3755} and husbandmen.{H3009}

And the pillars{H5982} of brass{H5178} that were in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and the bases{H4350} and the brazen{H5178} sea{H3220} that were in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} did the Chaldeans{H3778} break{H7665} in pieces, and carried{H5375} all the brass{H5178} of them to Babylon.{H894}

The pots{H5518} also, and the shovels,{H3257} and the snuffers,{H4212} and the basins,{H4219} and the spoons,{H3709} and all the vessels{H3627} of brass{H5178} wherewith they ministered,{H8334} took they away.{H3947}

And the cups,{H4219} and the firepans,{H4289} and the basins,{H5592} and the pots,{H5518} and the candlesticks,{H4501} and the spoons,{H3709} and the bowls—that{H4518} which was of gold,{H2091} in gold,{H2091} and that which was of silver,{H3701} in silver,—the{H3701} captain{H7227} of the guard{H2876} took{H3947} away.{H3947}

The two{H8147} pillars,{H5982} the one{H259} sea,{H3220} and the twelve{H8147} brazen{H5178} bulls{H1241} that were under the bases,{H4350} which king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} had made{H6213} for the house{H1004} of Jehovah—the{H3068} brass{H5178} of all these vessels{H3627} was without weight.{H4948}

And as for the pillars,{H5982} the height{H6967} of the one{H259} pillar{H5982} was eighteen{H8083} cubits;{H520} and a line{H2339} of twelve{H8147} cubits{H520} did compass{H5437} it; and the thickness{H5672} thereof was four{H702} fingers:{H676} it was hollow.{H5014}

And a capital{H3805} of brass{H5178} was upon it; and the height{H6967} of the one{H259} capital{H3805} was five{H2568} cubits,{H520} with network{H7639} and pomegranates{H7416} upon the capital{H3805} round about,{H5439} all of brass:{H5178} and the second{H8145} pillar{H5982} also had like unto these, and pomegranates.{H7416}

And there were ninety{H8673} and six{H8337} pomegranates{H7416} on the sides;{H7307} all the pomegranates{H7416} were a hundred{H3967} upon the network{H7639} round about.{H5439}

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

and out of the city{H5892} he took{H3947} an{H259} officer{H5631} that was set{H6496} over the men{H582} of war;{H4421} and seven{H7651} men{H582} of them that saw{H7200} the king's{H4428} face,{H6440} that were found{H4672} in the city;{H5892} and the scribe{H5608} of the captain{H8269} of the host,{H6635} who mustered{H6633} the people{H5971} of the land;{H776} and threescore{H8346} men{H376} of the people{H5971} of the land,{H776} that were found{H4672} in the midst{H8432} of the city.{H5892}

And Nebuzaradan{H5018} the captain{H7227} of the guard{H2876} took{H3947} them, and brought{H3212} them to the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} to Riblah.{H7247}

And the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} smote{H5221} them, and put them to death{H4191} at Riblah{H7247} in the land{H127} of Hamath.{H2574} So Judah{H3063} was carried away captive{H1540} out of his land.{H776}

This is the people{H5971} whom Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} carried away captive:{H1540} in the seventh{H7651} year{H8141} three{H7969} thousand{H505} Jews{H3064} and three{H7969} and twenty;{H6242}

in the eighteenth{H8083} year{H8141} of Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} he carried away captive{H1540} from Jerusalem{H3389} eight{H8083} hundred{H3967} thirty{H7970} and two{H8147} persons;{H5315}

in the three{H7969} and twentieth{H6242} year{H8141} of Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} Nebuzaradan{H5018} the captain{H7227} of the guard{H2876} carried away captive{H1540} of the Jews{H3064} seven{H7651} hundred{H3967} forty{H705} and five{H2568} persons:{H5315} all the persons{H5315} were four{H702} thousand{H505} and six{H8337} hundred.{H3967}

And it came to pass in the seven{H7651} and thirtieth{H7970} year{H8141} of the captivity{H1546} of Jehoiachin{H3078} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} in the twelfth{H8147} month,{H2320} in the five{H2568} and twentieth{H6242} day of the month,{H2320} that Evil-merodach{H192} king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} in the [first] year{H8141} of his reign,{H4438} lifted up{H5375} the head{H7218} of Jehoiachin{H3078} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} and brought him forth{H3318} out of prison;{H1004}

and he spake{H1696} kindly{H2896} to him, and set{H5414} his throne{H3678} above{H4605} the throne{H3678} of the kings{H4428} that were with him in Babylon,{H894}

and changed{H8138} his prison{H3608} garments.{H899} And [Jehoiachin] did eat{H398} bread{H3899} before{H6440} him continually{H8548} all the days{H3117} of his life:{H2416}

and for his allowance,{H737} there was a continual{H8548} allowance{H737} given{H5414} him by the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} every{H3117} day{H3117} a portion{H1697} until the day{H3117} of his death,{H4194} all the days{H3117} of his life.{H2416}
