2KI-25:1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in
the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that]
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host,
against Jerusalem, and pitched against it: and they built forts
against it round about.
2KI-25:2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of
king Zedekiah.
2KI-25:3 And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine
prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of
the land.
2KI-25:4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war
[fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which
[is] by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the
city round about:) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.
2KI-25:5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king,
and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were
scattered from him.
2KI-25:6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king
of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
2KI-25:7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and
put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of
brass, and carried him to Babylon.
2KI-25:8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the
month, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a
servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
2KI-25:9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's
house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man's]
house burnt he with fire.
2KI-25:10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the
captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round
about.
2KI-25:11 Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the
city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon,
with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain
of the guard carry away.
2KI-25:12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the
land [to be] vinedressers and husbandmen.
2KI-25:13 And the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of
the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the
house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried
the brass of them to Babylon.
2KI-25:14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and
the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they
ministered, took they away.
2KI-25:15 And the firepans, and the bowls, [and] such things as
[were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the
captain of the guard took away.
2KI-25:16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon
had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these
vessels was without weight.
2KI-25:17 The height of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits,
and the chapiter upon it [was] brass: and the height of the
chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates
upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these
had the second pillar with wreathen work.
2KI-25:18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief
priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers
of the door:
2KI-25:19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set
over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the
king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal
scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and
threescore men of the people of the land [that were] found in
the city:
2KI-25:20 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and
brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
2KI-25:21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at
Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of
their land.
2KI-25:22 And [as for] the people that remained in the land of
Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over
them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
ruler.
2KI-25:23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and
their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah
governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son
of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son
of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a
Maachathite, they and their men.
2KI-25:24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said
unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in
the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well
with you.
2KI-25:25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael
the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal,
came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died,
and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
2KI-25:26 And all the people, both small and great, and the
captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were
afraid of the Chaldees.
2KI-25:27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of
the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month,
on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that]
Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign
did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
2KI-25:28 And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above
the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon;
2KI-25:29 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread
continually before him all the days of his life.
2KI-25:30 And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given
him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his
life.
