in
the
ninth
of the

broken

Then

of the king of Babylon entered
and sat
in
the Middle Gate :

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
cometh
to
pass,
when Zedekiah king of Judah ,
and all the men
of
war,
have
seen
them, that
they flee
and
go
forth
by
night
from
the city ,
the
way of the king's
garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he
goeth
forth
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.
And
the forces
of the Chaldeans pursue
after

and overtake
Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho ,
and
they take
him ,
and bring
him up unto
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ,
to
Riblah ,
in the land of Hamath, and
he speaketh
with
him --
judgments
.
There
at
Riblah
the king of Babylon slaughtered
the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and
he
also
killed
all the nobles
of Judah.
And
the king of Babylon slaughtereth
the sons of Zedekiah ,
in
Riblah,
before his eyes, yea,
all the freemen
of Judah hath
the
king
of
Babylon
slaughtered
.
Then
he
put
out
Zedekiah’s
eyes and bound
him with bronze
chains
to take
him to Babylon.
And
the
eyes of
Zedekiah
he
hath
blinded,
and he
bindeth
him with brazen
fetters,
to bring
him in
to Babylon.
The

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 house
of the king ,
and the house
of the people, have
the
Chaldeans
burnt
with
fire,
and the walls of Jerusalem they
have
broken
down
.
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.
And
the remnant of the people who are
left
in the city, and
those
falling
who have
fallen
to him ,
and
the
remnant
of
the
people
who
are
left,
hath
Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of
the
executioners,
removed
`to'
Babylon
.
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.
And
of
the
poor
people,
who
have
nothing,
hath
Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of
the
executioners,
left in the land of Judah, and he giveth
to
them vineyards and fields on
the
same
day
.
Now
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon had
given
orders
about
Jeremiah through
Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard
, saying,
And
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon giveth
a
charge
concerning
Jeremiah ,
by
the
hand
of Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of
the executioners
, saying,
“
Take him, look
after
him, and do not
let
any
harm
come
to him ;
do for
him whatever
he
says
. ”
`
Take him, and
place
thine
eyes
upon
him, and do no
evil
thing
to him ,
but
as
he
speaketh
unto
thee,
so
do with
him. '
So
Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard
, Nebushazban the Rabsaris
, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag
, and all the captains
of the king of Babylon
And
Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of the executioners
sendeth
, and
Nebushazban ,
chief
of
the eunuchs
, and
Nergal-Sharezer ,
chief
of
the Mages
, and all the chiefs
of the king of Babylon ;
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.
yea,
they
send
and
take
Jeremiah out
of
the court
of the prison
, and give
him unto
Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry
him home ,
and
he
dwelleth
in
the
midst
of
the
people.
And while
Jeremiah had
been confined
in the
courtyard
of
the
guard,
the word
of the LORD
had
come
to
him
:
And unto
Jeremiah hath
a
word
of
Jehovah
been --
in his
being
detained
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 thou
hast
spoken
to
Ebed-Melech the Cushite ,
saying:
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo,
I am bringing
in
My words unto
this city for evil,
and not for good, and they have
been
before thee
in
that
day
.
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.
And
I have
delivered
thee
in
that day --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and thou
art
not given
into the hand
of the men of
whose
face
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 do certainly
deliver
thee,
and
by sword thou
fallest
not
, and
thy
life hath
been
to
thee
for
a spoil, for
thou
hast
trusted
in
Me
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
