And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he, and all his hostH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it; and they builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
And the cityH5892 was besiegedH935+H4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And on the ninthH8672 day of the fourth monthH2320 the famineH7458 prevailedH2388 in the cityH5892, and there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fled by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between two wallsH2346, which is by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588: (now the ChaldeesH3778 were against the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and the king wentH3212 the wayH1870 toward the plainH6160.
And the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 him in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and all his armyH2428 were scatteredH6327 from him.
So they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and brought him upH5927 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247; and they gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him. {gave…: Heb. spake judgment with him}
And they slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869, and put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667, and boundH631 him with fettersH5178 of brassH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894. {put…: Heb. made blind}
And in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, on the seventhH7651 day of the monthH2320, which is the nineteenthH8672+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018, captainH7227 of the guardH2876, a servantH5650 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, unto JerusalemH3389: {captain…: or, chief marshal}
And he burntH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and every greatH1419 man's houseH1004 burntH8313 he with fireH784.
And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeesH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.
Now the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that were leftH7604 in the cityH5892, and the fugitivesH5307 that fell awayH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, with the remnantH3499 of the multitudeH1995, did NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carry awayH1540. {fugitives: Heb. fallen away}
But the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1803 of the landH776 to be vinedressersH3755 and husbandmenH3009+H1461.
And the pillarsH5982 of brassH5178 that were in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the basesH4350, and the brasenH5178 seaH3220 that was in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, did the ChaldeesH3778 break in piecesH7665, and carriedH5375 the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894.
And the potsH5518, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the spoonsH3709, and all the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, took they awayH3947.
And the firepansH4289, and the bowlsH4219, and such things as were of goldH2091, in goldH2091, and of silverH3701, in silverH3701, the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 took awayH3947.
The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, oneH259 seaH3220, and the basesH4350 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the brassH5178 of all these vesselsH3627 was withoutH3808 weightH4948. {one…: Heb. the one sea}
The heightH6967 of the oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083+H6240 cubitsH520, and the chapiterH3805 upon it was brassH5178: and the heightH6967 of the chapiterH3805 threeH7969 cubitsH520; and the wreathen workH7639, and pomegranatesH7416 upon the chapiterH3805 round aboutH5439, all of brassH5178: and like unto these had the secondH8145 pillarH5982 with wreathen workH7639.
And the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 SeraiahH8304 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, and ZephaniahH6846 the secondH4932 priestH3548, and the threeH7969 keepersH8104 of the doorH5592: {door: Heb. threshold}
And out of the cityH5892 he tookH3947 anH259 officerH5631 that was setH6496 over the menH582 of warH4421, and fiveH2568 menH582 of them that wereH7200 in the king'sH4428 presenceH6440, which were foundH4672 in the cityH5892, and the principalH8269 scribeH5608 of the hostH6635, which musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and threescoreH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 that were foundH4672 in the cityH5892: {officer: or, eunuch} {were in…: Heb. saw the king's face} {principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
And NebuzaradanH5018 captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 these, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247:
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574. So JudahH3063 was carried awayH1540 out of their landH127.
And as for the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had leftH7604, even over them he made GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, rulerH6485.
And when all the captainsH8269 of the armiesH2428, they and their menH582, heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made GedaliahH1436 governorH6485, there cameH935 to GedaliahH1436 to MizpahH4709, even IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of CareahH7143, and SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of TanhumethH8576 the NetophathiteH5200, and JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of a MaachathiteH4602, they and their menH582.
And GedaliahH1436 swareH7650 to them, and to their menH582, and saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not to be the servantsH5650 of the ChaldeesH3778: dwellH3427 in the landH776, and serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and it shall be wellH3190 with you.
But it came to pass in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royalH4410, cameH935, and tenH6235 menH582 with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436, that he diedH4191, and the JewsH3064 and the ChaldeesH3778 that were with him at MizpahH4709. {royal: Heb. of the kingdom}
And all the peopleH5971, both smallH6996 and greatH1419, and the captainsH8269 of the armiesH2428, aroseH6965, and cameH935 to EgyptH4714: for they were afraidH3372 ofH6440 the ChaldeesH3778.
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the yearH8141 that he began to reignH4427 did lift upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 out of prisonH1004+H3608;
And he spakeH1696 kindlyH2896 to him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 above the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894; {kindly…: Heb. good things with him}
And changedH8132 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did eatH398 breadH3899 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And his allowanceH737 was a continualH8548 allowanceH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428, a dailyH3117+H3117 rateH1697 for every dayH3117, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.

SpeakH559 unto all the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, When ye fastedH6684 and mournedH5594 in the fifthH2549 and seventhH7637 month, even those seventyH7657 yearsH8141, did ye at allH6684 fastH6684 unto me, even to me?
Then JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143 spakeH559 to GedaliahH1436 in MizpahH4709 secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let me goH3212, I pray thee, and I will slayH5221 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and no manH376 shall knowH3045 it: wherefore should he slayH5221+H5315 thee, that all the JewsH3064 which are gatheredH6908 unto thee should be scatteredH6327, and the remnantH7611 in JudahH3063 perishH6?
And when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was deadH4191, she aroseH6965 and destroyedH6 all the seedH2233 royalH4467. {seed…: Heb. seed of the kingdom}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
But GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 saidH559 unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, Thou shalt not doH6213 this thingH1697: for thou speakestH1696 falselyH8267 of IshmaelH3458.
Now it came to pass in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 the sonH1121 of ElishamaH476, of the seedH2233 royalH4410, and the princesH7227 of the kingH4428, even tenH6235 menH582 with him, cameH935 unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 to MizpahH4709; and there they did eatH398 breadH3899 togetherH3162 in MizpahH4708.
Then aroseH6965 IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and the tenH6235 menH582 that were with him, and smoteH5221 GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227 with the swordH2719, and slewH4191 him, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had made governorH6485 over the landH776.
IshmaelH3458 also slewH5221 all the JewsH3064 that were with him, even with GedaliahH1436, at MizpahH4709, and the ChaldeansH3778 that were foundH4672 there, and the menH582 of warH4421.
And it came to pass the secondH8145 dayH3117 after he had slainH4191 GedaliahH1436, and no manH376 knewH3045 it,
That there cameH935 certainH582 from ShechemH7927, from ShilohH7887, and from SamariaH8111, even fourscoreH8084 menH376, having their beardsH2206 shavenH1548, and their clothesH899 rentH7167, and having cutH1413 themselves, with offeringsH4503 and incenseH3828 in their handH3027, to bringH935 them to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 went forthH3318 from MizpahH4709 to meetH7125 them, weepingH1058 all alongH1980 as he wentH1980: and it came to pass, as he metH6298 them, he saidH559 unto them, ComeH935 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296. {weeping…: Heb. in going and weeping}
And it was so, when they cameH935 into the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 slewH7819 them, and cast them into the midstH8432 of the pitH953, he, and the menH582 that were with him.
But tenH6235 menH582 were foundH4672 among them that saidH559 unto IshmaelH3458, SlayH4191 us not: for we haveH3426 treasuresH4301 in the fieldH7704, of wheatH2406, and of barleyH8184, and of oilH8081, and of honeyH1706. So he forbareH2308, and slewH4191 them not amongH8432 their brethrenH251.
Now the pitH953 wherein IshmaelH3458 had castH7993 all the dead bodiesH6297 of the menH582, whom he had slainH5221 becauseH3027 of GedaliahH1436, was it which AsaH609 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 for fearH6440 of BaashaH1201 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478: and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 filledH4390 it with them that were slainH2491. {because…: or, near Gedaliah: Heb. by the hand, or, by the side of Gedaliah}
Then IshmaelH3458 carried away captiveH7617 all the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971 that were in MizpahH4709, even the king'sH4428 daughtersH1323, and all the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in MizpahH4709, whom NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 had committedH6485 to GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296: and IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 carried them away captiveH7617, and departedH3212 to go overH5674 to the AmmonitesH1121+H5983.
But when JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, heardH8085 of all the evilH7451 that IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 had doneH6213,
Then they tookH3947 all the menH582, and wentH3212 to fightH3898 with IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418, and foundH4672 him by the greatH7227 watersH4325 that are in GibeonH1391.
Now it came to pass, that when all the peopleH5971 which were with IshmaelH3458 sawH7200 JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143, and all the captainsH8269 of the forcesH2428 that were with him, then they were gladH8055.
So all the peopleH5971 that IshmaelH3458 had carried away captiveH7617 from MizpahH4709 cast aboutH5437 and returnedH7725, and wentH3212 unto JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of KareahH7143.
But IshmaelH3458 the sonH1121 of NethaniahH5418 escapedH4422 fromH6440 JohananH3110 with eightH8083 menH582, and wentH3212 to the AmmonitesH1121+H5983.
