In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon marched
against
Jerusalem
with
his entire
army and laid
siege
to
the
city
.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon and
all
his army against
Jerusalem,
and they
besieged
it
.
And on
the ninth
day
of the fourth month of Zedekiah’s
eleventh
year
, the city was breached
.
And in
the eleventh
year
of Zedekiah,
in
the fourth month ,
the
ninth
day
of the
month
, the city was broken
up
.
Then
all the officials
of the king of Babylon entered
and sat in the Middle Gate :
Nergal-sharezer
of
Samgar
, Nebo-sarsekim
the
Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer
the
Rabmag, and
all the rest
of the officials
of the king of Babylon.
And
all the princes
of the king of Babylon came
in,
and sat in the middle gate, even
Nergalsharezer,
Samgarnebo,
Sarsechim,
Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer,
Rabmag, with
all the residue
of the princes
of the king of Babylon.
When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers
saw
them
, they fled .
They
left
the city at
night by way of the king’s
garden, through
the gate between
the two walls ,
and they
went out along
the route
to
the Arabah
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
that
when Zedekiah the
king of Judah saw
them,
and all the men
of
war
, then
they fled ,
and
went
forth
out
of
the city by
night ,
by the
way of the king's
garden, by
the gate betwixt
the two walls :
and he
went out the way
of
the plain
.
But the army
of
the
Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho .
They seized
him and
brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at
Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced
judgment on
him.
But the Chaldeans '
army
pursued after
them ,
and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho :
and
when
they had
taken
him ,
they
brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to
Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave
judgment upon
him.
There
at
Riblah
the king of Babylon slaughtered
the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes ,
and
he
also killed
all the nobles of Judah.
Then
the king of Babylon slew
the sons of Zedekiah in
Riblah
before his eyes :
also the
king
of
Babylon
slew
all the nobles of Judah.
Then
he put out Zedekiah’s
eyes and bound him with bronze
chains to take
him to Babylon.
Moreover
he put out Zedekiah's
eyes ,
and bound him with chains ,
to carry
him to Babylon.
The Chaldeans set
fire
to
the
palace
of
the king
and to
the houses of the people, and they
broke
down the walls of Jerusalem.
And
the Chaldeans burned
the king's
house,
and the houses of the people, with
fire,
and brake
down the walls of Jerusalem.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away to
Babylon the remnant of the people who
had
remained in the city, along
with
the
deserters
who
had
defected
to him.
Then Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard carried away captive
into
Babylon the remnant of the people that
remained in the city, and
those
that
fell
away,
that
fell
to him ,
with
the
rest
of
the
people
that
remained
.
But Nebuzaradan left
behind
in
the land
of Judah
some
of the poor people who
had no
property
, and at
that
time
he
gave them vineyards and fields.
But Nebuzaradan the captain
of the
guard
left
of the poor of
the
people ,
which
had nothing
, in
the
land
of
Judah,
and gave them vineyards and fields at
the
same
time
.
Now Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon had
given
orders
about
Jeremiah through
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying,
Now Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon gave
charge
concerning
Jeremiah to
Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard, saying,
“
Take him, look after
him, and do not
let
any
harm
come
to
him; do for
him whatever
he says
. ”
Take him, and
look well
to
him, and do him no
harm
; but
do unto
him even
as
he shall
say
unto
thee
.
So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, Nebushazban
the
Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer
the
Rabmag, and all the captains
of
the
king of Babylon
So Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard sent
, and
Nebushasban,
Rabsaris, and
Nergalsharezer,
Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's
princes;
had
Jeremiah brought
from
the courtyard
of the guard
, and they
turned
him over
to
Gedaliah son of Ahikam ,
the son of Shaphan, to
take
him home .
So Jeremiah
remained
among his
own
people.
Even
they
sent,
and
took
Jeremiah out
of
the court
of the prison
, and committed
him unto
Gedaliah the
son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that
he
should
carry
him home :
so he
dwelt
among the
people.
And
while
Jeremiah
had
been
confined
in
the courtyard
of the guard
, the word
of the LORD
had
come
to
him:
Now
the word
of the LORD
came
unto
Jeremiah
, while
he
was
shut
up
in
the court
of the prison,
saying,
“
Go and tell
Ebed-melech
the Cushite
that
this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:
‘
I am
about
to
fulfill
My words against
this city for harm
and not for good ,
and on
that
day
they will
be fulfilled
before your
eyes
.
Go and speak
to
Ebedmelech
the Ethiopian,
saying,
Thus
saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel ;
Behold
, I will
bring
my words upon
this city for evil,
and not for good ;
and they shall
be accomplished
in
that
day
before thee
.
But I will deliver you
on
that day, declares
the LORD ,
and you
will
not be delivered
into the hands
of the men whom you
fear
.
But I will deliver thee
in
that day, saith
the LORD :
and thou
shalt
not be given
into the hand
of the men of
whom thou
art
afraid
.
For I will surely rescue
you
so
that
you
do
not fall by the sword .
Because
you
have
trusted
in
Me
, you
will
escape
with
your
life like
a spoil
of
war
, declares
the LORD. ’”
For I will surely deliver
thee,
and
thou
shalt
not fall by the sword, but
thy
life shall
be
for
a prey
unto
thee:
because
thou
hast
put
thy
trust
in
me
, saith
the LORD.
