the
Chaldeans
`are'
against
the city
round
about

king'
goeth
the
way
of
the
plain.

garden .

judgment.

blinded
, and
bindeth
him with brazen
fetters
, and they
bring

and
he burneth
the house of Jehovah,
and
the house
of
the king
, and all the houses of Jerusalem ,
yea,
every great
house
he
hath
burned
with
fire;
He burned
down
the house of the LORD,
the royal
palace
, and all the houses of Jerusalem —
every significant
building.
and the walls
of
Jerusalem
round
about
have
all
the
forces
of the Chaldeans ,
who
`are'
with
the chief
of the executioners,
broken
down.
And the whole
army
of the Chaldeans under
the captain
of the guard
broke
down the
walls
around
Jerusalem
.
And
the
rest
of the people ,
those
left
in the city, and
those
falling
who have
fallen
to the king of Babylon ,
and the rest of the multitude,
hath
Nebuzaradan
chief
of
the
executioners
removed;
Then
Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard
carried
into
exile
the
people who
remained
in the city, along
with
the
deserters
who had
defected
to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
and
of
the poor
of the land
hath
the chief
of the executioners
left
for
vine-dressers
and for
husbandmen
.

the captain
of the guard
left
behind

the pillars
of
brass
that
`are'
in
the house
of
Jehovah,

bases,

in the house of Jehovah,

the Chaldeans
broken
in
pieces
, and bear
away
their
brass
to Babylon.
Moreover,
the Chaldeans
broke
up
the bronze
pillars
and stands
and the bronze
Sea in the house of the LORD
, and they
carried
the
bronze
to Babylon.
And
the pots, and
the
shovels, and
the
snuffers
, and
the
spoons
, and all the vessels
of brass
with
which
they
minister
they
have
taken,
They
also
took
away
the pots, shovels, wick
trimmers

service.
and
the fire-pans,
and
the bowls that
`are'
wholly
of silver ,
hath
the
chief
of
the
executioners
taken
.
The captain
of
the guard
also
took
away
the
censers
and
sprinkling
bowls —anything
made
of pure
gold
or
fine
silver.
The two pillars, the one
sea, and the bases
that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah
, there
was
no
weighing
of
the brass
of all these vessels;
As
for
the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable
stands
that Solomon had
made for the house of the
LORD
, the weight
of the
bronze
from
all these articles
was
beyond
measure.

the
height
of
the one pillar ,
and
the
chapiter
on
it
`is'
of
brass,

the
height
of
the
chapiter
`is'
three cubits, and
the
net
and
the
pomegranates
`are'
on
the
chapiter
round
about
--
the
whole
`is'
of brass;
and
like
these
hath
the second pillar, with the
net
.
Each
pillar
was
eighteen cubits tall.
The bronze
capital
atop
one pillar was
three cubits high
, with
a
network
of bronze
pomegranates
all
around.
The second pillar, with its
network,
was
similar
.
And
the chief
of the executioners
taketh
Seraiah the head
priest, and
Zephaniah the second
priest, and the three keepers
of
the
threshold,
The captain
of the guard
also
took
away
Seraiah the chief
priest, Zephaniah the priest of
second
rank
, and the three doorkeepers.
and
out
of the city he hath
taken
a certain
eunuch
who is
appointed over the men of war, and
five men
of
those
seeing
the
king's
face
who
have
been
found
in
the
city,
and
the head
scribe of the host
, who mustereth
the people of the land, and sixty men of
the
people
of
the
land
who are
found in the city ,

still
in
the city ,
he took

He
also
took
the scribe of the captain
of
the
army
, who had
enlisted
the people of the land, and sixty men who were

and
Nebuzaradan chief
of the executioners
taketh
them ,
and causeth
them to go
unto
the king of Babylon ,
to
Libnah,
Nebuzaradan captain
of the guard
took
them and brought
them to the king of Babylon at

and
the king of Babylon smiteth
them ,
and putteth
them to death in
Riblah,
in
the
land
of
Hamath,
and
he
removeth
Judah from off
its land.
There
at
Riblah
in
the land
of

the
king of Babylon struck
them down
and put
them to death .
So
Judah was
taken
into
exile,
away
from its own
land.
And
the
people
that
is
left
in
the
land
of
Judah
whom
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath
left
--
he
appointeth
over
them
Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan.

Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the

.
And
all the heads
of the forces
hear
--
they
and the
men --
that the king of Babylon hath
appointed Gedaliah, and
they come
in
unto
Gedaliah,
to Mizpah ,
even
Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and
Johanan son of Kareah, and
Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite
--
they
and
their men ;
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,
as
well
as
their men .
and Gedaliah sweareth
to
them ,
and to
their men, and
saith
to
them, `Be
not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans ,
dwell
in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is
good
for
you. '
And Gedaliah took
an
oath
before
them and their men, assuring
them, “Do
not be
afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans .
Live
in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will
be
well
with
you. ”
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the seventh month, come
hath
Ishmael son of Nathaniah
, son of Elishama of
the
seed
of the kingdom
, and
ten men with
him,
and they
smite
Gedaliah,
and he
dieth
, and
the Jews
and the
Chaldeans who have
been
with him in
Mizpah.

Ishmael son of Nethaniah
, the
son of Elishama ,
who
was

member
of the royal
family
, came
with
ten men and struck
down
and killed
Gedaliah
, along
with
the Judeans
and Chaldeans who were
with him at
Mizpah.
And
all the people rise,
from
small even
unto
great, and
the heads
of the forces
, and come
in
to Egypt ,
for they
have
been
afraid
of
the
presence
of the Chaldeans.
Then
all the people small and
great, together
with
the commanders
of the army
, arose
and fled
to Egypt for fear
of the Chaldeans.
