The Fall of Jerusalem

1

 aZedekiahh6667 was twenty-oneh6242h259 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he becameh4427a kingh4427a, and he reignedh4427a elevenh259h6240 yearsh8141 in Jerusalemh3389; and his mother'sh517 nameh8034 was  1 bHamutalh2537 the daughterh1323 of Jeremiahh3414 of  cLibnahh3841.

2

He didh6213a  aevilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068 like allh3605 that  bJehoiakimh3079 had doneh6213a.

3

For throughh5921 the  aangerh639 of the LORDh3068 this cameh1961 about in Jerusalemh3389 and Judahh3063 untilh5704 He casth7993 them out from His presenceh6440. And Zedekiahh6667  brebelledh4775 against the kingh4428 of Babylonh894.

4

 aNow it cameh1961 about in the ninthh8671 yearh8141 of his reignh4427a, on the tenthh6218 day of the tenthh6224 monthh2320, that Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894 cameh935, he and allh3605 his armyh2428, againsth5921 Jerusalemh3389, campedh2583 againsth5921 it and builth1129 a  bsiegeh1785 wallh1785 allh5439 aroundh5439  1it.

5

 aSo the cityh5892b was under siegeh4692 untilh5704 the eleventhh6249h6240 yearh8141 of Kingh4428 Zedekiahh6667.

6

On the ninthh8672 day of the  afourthh7243 monthh2320 the  bfamineh7458 was so severeh2388 in the cityh5892b that there was noh3808 foodh3899 for the peopleh5971a of the landh776.

7

Then the cityh5892b was  abrokenh1234 into, and allh3605 the  bmenh376 of warh4421 fledh1272 and wenth3318 forthh3318 from the cityh5892b at nighth3915 by wayh1870 of the gateh8179 betweenh996 the two wallsh2346 whichh834 was by the king'sh4428 gardenh1588, though the Chaldeansh3778 were  1 callh5439 aroundh5439 the cityh5892b. And they wenth1980 by wayh1870 of the Arabahh6160.

8

But the armyh2428 of the Chaldeansh3778 pursuedh7291 the kingh4428 and  aovertookh5381 Zedekiahh6667 in the  1plainsh6160 of Jerichoh3405, and allh3605 his armyh2428 was scatteredh6327a from him.

9

Then they capturedh8610 the kingh4428 and  abroughth5927 him up to the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 at  bRiblahh7247 in the landh776 of  cHamathh2574, and he  1passedh1696 sentenceh1696 on him.

10

The kingh4428 of Babylonh894  aslaughteredh7819 the sonsh1121 of Zedekiahh6667 before his eyesh5869, and he alsoh1571 slaughteredh7819 allh3605 the  1princesh8269 of Judahh3063 in Riblahh7247.

11

Then he  ablindedh5786 the eyesh5869 of Zedekiahh6667; and the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 boundh631 him with bronzeh5178 fettersh5178 and broughth935 him to Babylonh894 and puth5414 him in prisonh1004h6486 untilh5704 the dayh3117 of his deathh4194.

12

 aNow on the tenthh6218 day of the fifthh2549 monthh2320, whichh1931 was the  bnineteenthh8672h6240 yearh8141 of Kingh4428 Nebuchadnezzarh5019, kingh4428 of Babylonh894,  cNebuzaradanh5018 the captainh7227b of the bodyguardh2876,  1who was in the serviceh5975h6440 of the kingh4428 of Babylonh894, cameh935 to Jerusalemh3389.

13

He  aburnedh8313 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, the  bking'sh4428 househ1004 and allh3605 the housesh1004 of Jerusalemh3389; even everyh3605 largeh1419 househ1004 he burnedh8313 with fireh784.

14

So allh3605 the armyh2428 of the Chaldeansh3778 whoh834 were with the captainh7227b of the guardh2876  abrokeh5422 downh5422 allh3605 the wallsh2346 aroundh5439 Jerusalemh3389.

15

Then Nebuzaradanh5018 the captainh7227b of the guardh2876  acarriedh1540 awayh1540 into exileh1540 someh4480 of the pooresth1803b of the peopleh5971a, the resth3499a of the peopleh5971a who were lefth7604 in the cityh5892b, the  1 bdesertersh5307 whoh834 had desertedh5307 to the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 and the resth3499a of the artisansh525.

16

But  aNebuzaradanh5018 the captainh7227b of the guardh2876 lefth7604 someh4480 of the pooresth1803b of the landh776 to be vinedressersh3755 and  1plowmenh3009.

17

Now the bronzeh5178  apillarsh5982 whichh834 belonged to the househ1004 of the LORDh3068 and the  bstandsh4350 and the bronzeh5178  cseah3220, whichh834 were in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068, the Chaldeansh3778 brokeh7665 in piecesh7665 and carriedh5375 allh3605 their bronzeh5178 to Babylonh894.

18

They also tookh3947 away the  apotsh5518a, the shovelsh3257, the snuffersh4212, the basinsh4219, the  1pansh3709 and allh3605 the bronzeh5178 vesselsh3627 whichh834 were usedh8334 in temple serviceh8334.

19

The captainh7227b of the guardh2876 also tookh3947 away the  abowlsh5592a, the firepansh4289, the basinsh4219, the potsh5518a, the lampstandsh4501, the  1pansh3709 and the drinkh4518 offeringh4518 bowlsh4518, whath834 was fineh3701 goldh2091 and whath834 was fineh3701 silverh3701.

20

The twoh8147 pillarsh5982, the oneh259 seah3220, and the twelveh8147h6240 bronzeh5178 bullsh1241 that were underh8478  1the seah3220, and the standsh4350, whichh834 Kingh4428 Solomonh8010 had madeh6213a for the househ1004 of the LORDh3068--the bronzeh5178 of allh3605 theseh428 vesselsh3627 was  abeyondh3808 weighth4948.

21

As for the pillarsh5982, the  aheighth6967 of eachh259 pillarh5982 was eighteenh8083h6240  1cubitsh520, and  2it was twelveh8147h6240 cubitsh520 in  acircumferenceh5437h2339 and fourh702 fingersh676 in thicknessh5672, and hollowh5014.

22

Now a  acapitalh3805 of bronzeh5178 was on it; and the heighth6967 of eachh259 capitalh3805 was fiveh2568 cubitsh520, with networkh7639 and  bpomegranatesh7416 upon the capitalh3805 allh5439 aroundh5439, allh3605 of bronzeh5178. And the secondh8145 pillarh5982 was like theseh428, including pomegranatesh7416.

23

There were ninety-sixh8673h8337a  1exposedh7307 pomegranatesh7416; allh3605  athe pomegranatesh7416 numbered a hundredh3967 on the networkh7639 allh5439 aroundh5439.

24

Then the captainh7227b of the guardh2876 tookh3947  aSeraiahh8304 the chiefh7218 priesth3548 and  bZephaniahh6846 the secondh4932 priesth3548, with the threeh7969  1 cofficersh8104 of the templeh5592b.

25

He also tookh3947 from the cityh5892b oneh259 officialh5631 whoh834 was overseerh6496 of the menh376 of warh4421, and sevenh7651  1of the  aking'sh4428 advisersh582h7200 whoh834 were foundh4672 in the cityh5892b, and the scribeh5613b of the commanderh8269 of the armyh6635 who musteredh6633 the peopleh5971a of the landh776, and sixtyh8346 menh376 of the peopleh5971a of the landh776 who were foundh4672 in the midsth8432 of the cityh5892b.

26

Nebuzaradanh5018 the captainh7227b of the guardh2876 tookh3947 them and  abroughth1980 them to the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 at Riblahh7247.

27

Then the kingh4428 of Babylonh894  astruckh5221 them downh5221 and puth4191 them to deathh4191 at Riblahh7247 in the landh776 of Hamathh2574. So Judahh3063 was  bledh1540 awayh1540 into exileh1540 from its landh127.

28

Theseh2088 are the peopleh5971a whomh834  aNebuchadnezzarh5019 carriedh1540 awayh1540 into exileh1540: in the  1seventhh7651 yearh8141 3,023h7969h505h6242h7969 Jewsh3064;

29

in the eighteenthh8083h6240 yearh8141 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019 832h8083h3967h7970h8147 personsh5315 from Jerusalemh3389;

30

in the twenty-thirdh6242h7969 yearh8141 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019,  aNebuzaradanh5018 the captainh7227b of the guardh2876 carriedh1540 into exileh1540 745h7651h3967h705h2568 Jewishh3064 peopleh5315; there were 4,600h702h505h8337ah3967 personsh5315 in allh3605.

31

 aNow it cameh1961 about in the thirty-seventhh7970h7651 yearh8141 of the exileh1546 of Jehoiachinh3078 kingh4428 of Judahh3063, in the twelfthh8147h6240 monthh2320, on the twenty-fifthh6242h2568 of the monthh2320, that  1Evil-merodachh192 kingh4428 of Babylonh894, in the first yearh8141 of his reignh4438,  2 bshowedh5375 favorh5375h7218 to Jehoiachinh3078 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 and broughth3318 him out of prisonh1004h3628.

32

 aThen he spokeh1696 kindlyh2899b to him and seth5414 his throneh3678 aboveh4480h4605 the thronesh3678 of the kingsh4428 whoh834 were with him in Babylonh894.

33

So  1Jehoiachin  achangedh8132 his prisonh3608 clothesh899b, and  2 bhadh398 his mealsh3899 in  3the king's presenceh6440 regularlyh8548 allh3605 the daysh3117 of his lifeh2425b.

34

For his allowanceh737, a  aregularh8548 allowanceh737 was givenh5414 him by the kingh4428 of Babylonh894, a dailyh3117 portionh1697 allh3605 the daysh3117 of his lifeh2425b untilh5704 the dayh3117 of his deathh4194.
