Zedekiah
was
twenty -
one years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven
years.
His
mother’s
name was
Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah ;
she
was
from
Libnah.
A
son
of
twenty and
one years `is'
Zedekiah
in
his
reigning
, and eleven
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and
the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of
Libnah.
And Zedekiah
did
evil in the sight
of the
LORD
, just
as
Jehoiakim had
done .
and he
doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim hath
done ,
For because of the anger of the
LORD
, all
this
happened
in Jerusalem and Judah ,
until
He finally
banished
them from His presence.
And Zedekiah also
rebelled
against the king of Babylon.
for ,
because of the anger of Jehovah
, it
hath
been
in Jerusalem and Judah till
He hath
cast
them from before
His face,
and Zedekiah doth
rebel
against the king of Babylon.
So
in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s
reign, on
the tenth day
of
the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon marched
against Jerusalem with
his
entire
army.
They encamped
outside
the
city
and built
a
siege
wall
all
around
it .
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the ninth year of his
reign, in
the tenth month,
in
the tenth of
the
month, come
hath
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon --
he
and
all
his
force
--
against Jerusalem ,
and
they encamp
against
it,
and build
against
it a
fortification
round
about;
And the city was
kept
under
siege until
King
Zedekiah’s
eleventh year.
and the city cometh
into
siege till
the
eleventh year of
king
Zedekiah
.
By
the ninth day
of the fourth
month, the famine in the city was
so
severe
that
the people of the land had
no
food.
In
the fourth
month,
in
the
ninth of the month, when
the famine is
severe
in the city ,
and
there
hath
been
no
bread
for
the people of the land ,
Then the
city
was
breached;
and
though
the
Chaldeans
had
surrounded
the city, all the men of war fled
the city by night by
way of the gate between the two walls near
the king’s
garden .
They headed
toward
the Arabah,
then is
the city broken
up
, and
all the men of war flee,
and
go
forth
from
the city by night ,
the
way of the gate between the two walls ,
that
`is'
by
the king's
garden --
and
the
Chaldeans
`are'
by
the
city
round
about
--
and
they go
the way
of
the
plain.
but
the army
of the Chaldeans pursued
the king and overtook
Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army
was
separated
from him .
And
the forces
of the Chaldeans pursue
after
the king ,
and overtake
Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his forces
have
been
scattered
from him ,
The
Chaldeans
seized
the king and brought
him up to
the king of Babylon at
Riblah in the land of Hamath, where
he pronounced
judgment
on
Zedekiah
.
and
they
capture
the king ,
and bring
him up unto
the 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 officials
of Judah .
And
the king of Babylon slaughtereth
the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and also all the princes
of Judah hath
he
slaughtered
in
Riblah;
Then
he
put
out
Zedekiah’s
eyes, bound
him with
bronze
shackles
, and took
him to Babylon, where
he
kept
him in custody
until
his
dying
day.
and
the
eyes of
Zedekiah
he
hath
blinded
, and
he
bindeth
him in
brazen
fetters
, and the
king
of
Babylon
bringeth
him to Babylon, and
putteth
him in the
house
of
inspection
unto
the
day of
his
death
.
On
the
tenth
day
of
the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s
reign
over
Babylon, Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard,
a
servant
of
the king of Babylon ,
entered
Jerusalem .
And
in
the fifth month, in the tenth
of
the
month
--
it
`is'
the
nineteenth year of king
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon --
come
hath
Nebuzar-Adan
, chief
of the executioners;
he
hath
stood
before
the king of Babylon in
Jerusalem ,
He burned
down
the house of the
LORD
, the royal
palace
, and all the houses of Jerusalem —
every significant
building.
and
he burneth
the house of Jehovah
, and
the house
of
the
king
, and all the houses of Jerusalem ,
even
every great
house
he
hath
burned
with
fire,
And the whole
army
of the Chaldeans under
the captain
of the guard
broke
down
all
the
walls
around
Jerusalem
.
and all
the walls
of Jerusalem
round
about
broken
down
have
all
the forces
of
the
Chaldeans that
`are'
with
the chief
of the executioners
.
Then
Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard
carried
into
exile
some
of the poorest
people and those
who remained
in the city, along
with
the
deserters
who had
defected
to
the king of Babylon and the rest
of the craftsmen.
And
of the poor
of the people ,
and the
remnant
of
the
people
who are
left
in the city, and
those
who are
falling
away,
who
have
fallen
unto
the king of Babylon ,
and the remnant
of the multitude,
hath
Nebuzar-Adan
chief
of
the
executioners,
removed;
But
Nebuzaradan
captain
of
the
guard
left
behind
some
of the poorest
of the land to
tend
the vineyards
and fields
.
and
of the poor
of the land hath
Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of
the executioners,
left
for
vine-dressers
and for
husbandmen
.
Moreover,
the
Chaldeans
broke
up
the bronze
pillars and stands
and the bronze
Sea in the house of the LORD
, and they carried
all the bronze
to Babylon .
And
the pillars of
brass
that
`are'
to
the
house
of
Jehovah,
and the
bases,
and the brasen
sea that
`is'
in the house of Jehovah,
have
the Chaldeans
broken
, and they bear
away
all the brass
of
them
to Babylon ;
They
also
took
away
the pots, shovels, wick
trimmers
, sprinkling
bowls, dishes
, and all the articles
of bronze
used
in
the
temple
service.
and
the pots, and
the
shovels, and
the
snuffers
, and
the
bowls, and
the
spoons
, and all the vessels
of brass
with
which
they
minister,
they
have
taken
away;
The
captain
of
the
guard
also
took
away
the basins, censers
, sprinkling
bowls, pots, lampstands
, pans
, and drink
offering
bowls—anything
made
of pure
gold or
fine
silver.
and
the basins, and
the
fire-pans
, and
the
bowls, and
the
pots, and
the
candlesticks
, and
the
spoons
, and the
cups,
the
gold
of that
which
`is'
gold ,
and
the
silver of
that
which
`is'
silver,
hath
the
chief
of
the
executioners
taken
.
As
for
the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze
bulls
under
it,
and
the movable
stands
that King Solomon had
made for the house of the
LORD
, the
weight
of the bronze
from
all these articles
was
beyond
measure
.
The two pillars, the one
sea, and
the twelve brazen
oxen
that
`are'
beneath
the bases,
that king Solomon made for the house of Jehovah
, there
was
no
weighing
of the brass
of
all these vessels
.
Each
pillar
was
eighteen cubits tall
and twelve cubits in
circumference;
each
was
hollow
, four fingers thick
.
As
to
the
pillars,
eighteen cubits `is'
the
height
of
the
one
pillar,
and a
cord
of
twelve cubits doth
compass
it
, and
its
thickness
`is'
four fingers hollow
.
The bronze
capital
atop
one pillar
was
five cubits high
, with
a
network
of
bronze
pomegranates all
around.
The second pillar, with
its
pomegranates ,
was
similar
.
And
the chapiter
upon
it
`is'
of
brass,
and
the
height
of
the
one chapiter
`is'
five cubits, and
net-work
and
pomegranates `are'
on
the chapiter
round
about,
the
whole
`is'
of
brass;
and
like
these
have
the
second pillar, and
pomegranates.
Each
capital
had
ninety -
six pomegranates
on the
sides,
and
a total
of
a hundred pomegranates
were
above
the surrounding
network
.
And
the
pomegranates
are
ninety and
six on a side,
all
the
pomegranates
`are'
a hundred on
the net-work
round
about
.
The captain
of the guard
also
took
away
Seraiah the chief
priest, Zephaniah the priest
of
second rank
, and the three doorkeepers.
And
the chief
of the executioners
taketh
Seraiah the head
priest, and
Zephaniah the second priest
, and the three keepers
of
the
threshold,
Of those
still
in
the city ,
he took
a court
official
who had
been appointed
over the men of war, as
well
as
seven trusted
royal
advisers.
He
also
took
the
scribe
of the captain
of the army
, who had
enlisted
the people of the land, and sixty men who were
found in the city .
and
out
of the city he hath
taken
a certain
eunuch,
who hath
been inspector
over the men of war, and
seven 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 midst
of
the
city ;
Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard
took
them and brought
them to
the king of Babylon at
Riblah .
and
Nebuzar-Adan,
chief
of the executioners,
taketh
them ,
and bringeth
them unto
the king of Babylon to
Riblah ,
There
at
Riblah
in
the
land
of
Hamath,
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 king of Babylon smiteth
them ,
and putteth
them to death in
Riblah
, in
the
land
of
Hamath,
and
he
removeth
Judah
from off
its own ground
.
These
are
the people Nebuchadnezzar
carried
away
: in the seventh year, 3,023
Jews;
This
`is'
the people whom
Nebuchadrezzar
hath
removed
: in the seventh year, of
Jews ,
three
thousand
and
twenty
and
three
;
in Nebuchadnezzar’s
eighteenth year ,
832
people
from Jerusalem;
in the
eighteenth year of
Nebuchadrezzar
--
from Jerusalem ,
souls,
eight
hundred
thirty
and
two
;
in Nebuchadnezzar’s
twenty-third
year, Nebuzaradan
captain
of the guard carried
away
745
Jews.
So
in
all,
4
, 600
people
were
taken
away
.
in the
three
and
twentieth
year of
Nebuchadrezzar
, hath
Nebuzar-Adan
chief
of the guard removed
of
Jewish
souls
, seven
hundred
forty
and
five;
all
the
souls
`are'
four
thousand
and
six
hundred
.
On
the
twenty-fifth
day
of
the
twelfth
month
of
the thirty -
seventh year of the exile
of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first
year
of
the reign
of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he
pardoned
Jehoiachin king of Judah and released
him from prison.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
the thirty and
seventh year of the removal
of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth
month,
in
the twenty
and
fifth
of the
month,
hath
Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted
up
, in
the
year
of
his
reign,
the
head
of
Jehoiachin king of Judah ,
and bringeth
him out
from the
house
of
restraint,
And he
spoke
kindly
to
Jehoiachin
and set
his throne above the thrones
of the other
kings who were
with him in Babylon .
and speaketh
with
him
good
things,
and setteth
his throne above the throne
of the kings who `are'
with him in Babylon ,
So
Jehoiachin
changed out
of
his prison clothes
, and he dined
regularly
at
the
king’s
table
for
the rest
of his life.
and
he
hath
changed his prison garments
, and he hath
eaten
bread
before
him
continually,
all
the days
of his life.
And the king of Babylon provided
Jehoiachin
a
daily
portion
for
the rest
of his
life
, until
the day of his death.
And his
allowance
--
a
continual
allowance
--
hath
been
given
to
him
by
the king of Babylon ,
the matter
of a
day
in
its
day
, till
the day of his death --
all
days
of
his
life
.
