JER-52:1 Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name [was] Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
JER-52:2 And he did [that which was] evil in the eyes of the
LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
JER-52:3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in
Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence,
that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
JER-52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in
the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that]
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army,
against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts
against it round about.
JER-52:5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
Zedekiah.
JER-52:6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth [day] of the
month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no
bread for the people of the land.
JER-52:7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war
fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the
gate between the two walls, which [was] by the king's garden;
(now the Chaldeans [were] by the city round about:) and they
went by the way of the plain.
JER-52:8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king,
and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army
was scattered from him.
JER-52:9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the
king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave
judgment upon him.
JER-52:10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah
before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
JER-52:11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of
Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put
him in prison till the day of his death.
JER-52:12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth [day] of the
month, which [was] the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of
Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, [which] served
the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
JER-52:13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house;
and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the
great [men], burned he with fire:
JER-52:14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that [were] with
the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem
round about.
JER-52:15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away
captive [certain] of the poor of the people, and the residue of
the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away,
that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
JER-52:16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left
[certain] of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for
husbandmen.
JER-52:17 Also 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, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the
brass of them to Babylon.
JER-52:18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers,
and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass
wherewith they ministered, took they away.
JER-52:19 And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and
the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups;
[that] which [was] of gold [in] gold, and [that] which [was] of
silver [in] silver, took the captain of the guard away.
JER-52:20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that
[were] under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house
of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
JER-52:21 And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar
[was] eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass
it; and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers: [it was]
hollow.
JER-52:22 And a chapiter of brass [was] upon it; and the height
of one chapiter [was] five cubits, with network and pomegranates
upon the chapiters round about, all [of] brass. The second
pillar also and the pomegranates [were] like unto these.
JER-52:23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side;
[and] all the pomegranates upon the network [were] an hundred
round about.
JER-52:24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief
priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers
of the door:
JER-52:25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the
charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near
the king's person, which were found in the city; and the
principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the
land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were
found in the midst of the city.
JER-52:26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and
brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
JER-52:27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to
death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried
away captive out of his own land.
JER-52:28 This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away
captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and
twenty:
JER-52:29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried
away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
JER-52:30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the
Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons
[were] four thousand and six hundred.
JER-52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of
the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month,
in the five and twentieth [day] of the month, [that]
Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign
lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him
forth out of prison,
JER-52:32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above
the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon,
JER-52:33 And changed his prison garments: and he did
continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
JER-52:34 And [for] his diet, there was a continual diet given
him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of
his death, all the days of his life.
