• 2 Kgs 25:1-9 : 1 In the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came with his entire army against Jerusalem. He laid siege to the city and built a siege wall around it. 2 The city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city had become severe, and there was no food for the people of the land. 4 Then the city wall was breached, and all the warriors fled at night through the gate between the two walls near the king's garden, even though the Chaldeans were surrounding the city. They escaped toward the Arabah. 5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his troops scattered away from him. 6 They captured the king and brought him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed judgment on him. 7 The sons of Zedekiah were slaughtered before his eyes, and then his eyes were blinded. They bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon. 8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 9 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every large house was burned down. 10 The entire Chaldean army, under the captain of the guard, tore down the walls of Jerusalem that surrounded the city. 11 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, exiled the remainder of the people who were left in the city, including the deserters who had joined the king of Babylon, and the rest of the population. 12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest people of the land to tend the vineyards and the fields. 13 The Chaldeans broke apart the bronze pillars of the house of the LORD, the stands, and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon. 14 They took the pots, the shovels, the wick trimmers, the dishes, and all the bronze utensils used in the temple service. 15 The captain of the guard also took the firepans and the sprinkling bowls—everything that was made of gold and silver. 16 The weight of the two pillars, the bronze sea, and the stands, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, could not be weighed because of their immense weight. 17 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall, with a bronze capital on top. The capital was three cubits high. It was decorated with a network of pomegranates all around, all made of bronze. The second pillar had the same design, including the network. 18 The captain of the guard arrested Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the deputy priest, and the three keepers of the threshold. 19 From the city, he took a court official who was in charge of the men of war, five men from those who advised the king, the secretary of the commander of the army who was responsible for conscripting the people of the land, and sixty men from the people of the land found in the city. 20 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 21 The king of Babylon struck them down and executed them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah went into exile away from its land. 22 As for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had left, he appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as governor over them. 23 When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite—and they and their men. 24 Gedaliah swore an oath to reassure them and their men: 'Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Settle in the land, serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well for you.' 25 In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of royal descent, came with ten men and struck down Gedaliah. They also killed the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah. 26 Then all the people, from the youngest to the oldest, together with the army commanders, arose and fled to Egypt because they were afraid of the Chaldeans. 27 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the year he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison.
