52Zedekiah 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.H6667H259H6242H8141H1121H4427H4427H259H6240H8141H3389H517H8034H2537H1323H3414H3841

2And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.H6213H7451H5869H3068H3079H6213

3For 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.H5921H639H3068H3389H3063H7993H6440H6667H4775H4428H894

4And 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.H8671H8141H4427H6224H2320H6218H2320H5019H4428H894H935H2428H3389H2583H1129H1785H5439

5So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.H935H5892H4692H6249H6240H8141H4428H6667

6And 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.H7243H2320H8672H2320H7458H2388H5892H3899H5971H776

7Then 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.H5892H1234H582H4421H1272H3318H5892H3915H1870H8179H2346H4428H1588H3778H5892H5439H3212H1870H6160

8But 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.H2428H3778H7291H310H4428H5381H6667H6160H3405H2428H6327

9Then 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.H8610H4428H5927H4428H894H7247H776H2574H1696H4941

10And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.H4428H894H7819H1121H6667H5869H7819H8269H3063H7247

11Then 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.H5786H5869H6667H4428H894H631H5178H935H894H5414H1004H6486H3117H4194

12Now 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,H2549H2320H6218H2320H8672H6240H8141H8141H5019H4428H894H935H5018H7227H2876H5975H6440H4428H894H3389

13And 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:H8313H1004H3068H4428H1004H1004H3389H1004H1419H8313H784

14And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.H2428H3778H7227H2876H5422H2346H3389H5439

15Then 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.H5018H7227H2876H1540H1803H5971H3499H5971H7604H5892H5307H5307H4428H894H3499H527

16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.H5018H7227H2876H7604H1803H776H3755H3009

17Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.H5982H5178H1004H3068H4350H5178H3220H1004H3068H3778H7665H5375H5178H894

18The 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.H5518H3257H4212H4219H3709H3627H5178H8334H3947

19And the basons, 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.H5592H4289H4219H5518H4501H3709H4518H2091H2091H3701H3701H3947H7227H2876H3947

20The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen 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.H8147H5982H259H3220H8147H6240H5178H1241H4350H4428H8010H6213H1004H3068H5178H3627H4948

21And 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.H5982H6967H259H5982H8083H6240H520H2339H8147H6240H520H5437H5672H702H676H5014

22And 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.H3805H5178H6967H259H3805H2568H520H7639H7416H3805H5439H5178H8145H5982H7416

23And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.H8673H8337H7416H7307H7416H7639H3967H5439

24And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:H7227H2876H3947H8304H7218H3548H6846H4932H3548H7969H8104H5592

25He 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.H3947H5892H259H5631H6496H582H4421H7651H582H7200H4428H6440H4672H5892H8269H5608H6635H6633H5971H776H8346H376H5971H776H4672H8432H5892

26So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.H5018H7227H2876H3947H3212H4428H894H7247

27And 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.H4428H894H5221H4191H7247H127H2574H3063H1540H776

28This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:H5971H5019H1540H7651H8141H7969H505H3064H7969H6242

29In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:H8083H6240H8141H5019H1540H3389H8083H3967H7970H8147H5315

30In 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.H7969H6242H8141H5019H5018H7227H2876H1540H3064H7651H3967H705H2568H5315H5315H702H505H8337H3967

31And 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.H7651H7970H8141H1546H3078H4428H3063H8147H6240H2320H2568H6242H2320H192H4428H894H8141H4438H5375H7218H3078H4428H3063H3318H1004H3628

32And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,H1696H2896H5414H3678H4605H3678H4428H894

33And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.H8138H3608H899H8548H398H3899H6440H3117H2416

34And 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.H737H8548H737H5414H4428H894H3117H3117H1697H3117H4194H3117H2416
