ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 elevenH259+H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. {began…: Heb. reigned}
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.
For throughH5921 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, till he had cast them outH7993 from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935, he and all his armyH2428, against JerusalemH3389, and pitchedH2583 against it, and builtH1129 fortsH1785 against it round aboutH5439.
SoH935 the cityH5892 was besiegedH4692 unto the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667.
And in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, in the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the famineH7458 was soreH2388 in the cityH5892, so that there was no breadH3899 for the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
Then the cityH5892 was broken upH1234, and all the menH582 of warH4421 fledH1272, and went forthH3318 out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915 by the wayH1870 of the gateH8179 between the two wallsH2346, which was by the king'sH4428 gardenH1588; (now the ChaldeansH3778 were by the cityH5892 round aboutH5439:) and they wentH3212 by the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the kingH4428, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405; and all his armyH2428 was scatteredH6327 from him.
Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carried him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 before his eyesH5869: he slewH7819 also all the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 in RiblahH7247.
Then he put outH5786 the eyesH5869 of ZedekiahH6667; and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 boundH631 him in chainsH5178, and carriedH935 him to BabylonH894, and putH5414 him in prisonH1004+H6486 till the dayH3117 of his deathH4194. {put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards}
Now in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, which was the nineteenthH8672+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, cameH935 NebuzaradanH5018, captainH7227 of the guardH2876, which servedH5975+H6440 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, into JerusalemH3389, {captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {served: Heb. stood before}
And burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004; and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and all the housesH1004 of the greatH1419 men, burnedH8313 he with fireH784:
And all the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778, that were with the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, brake downH5422 all the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 round aboutH5439.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 certain of the poorH1803 of the peopleH5971, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307, that fellH5307 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and the restH3499 of the multitudeH527.
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 certain of the poorH1803 of the landH776 for vinedressersH3755 and for husbandmenH3009.
Also 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, the ChaldeansH3778 brakeH7665, and carriedH5375 all the brassH5178 of them to BabylonH894.
The caldronsH5518 also, and the shovelsH3257, and the snuffersH4212, and the bowlsH4219, and the spoonsH3709, and all the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 wherewith they ministeredH8334, took they awayH3947. {shovels: or, instruments to remove the ashes} {bowls: or, basons}
And the basonsH5592, and the firepansH4289, and the bowlsH4219, and the caldronsH5518, and the candlesticksH4501, and the spoonsH3709, and the cupsH4518; that which was of goldH2091 in goldH2091, and that which was of silverH3701 in silverH3701, tookH3947 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 awayH3947. {firepans: or, censers}
The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, oneH259 seaH3220, and twelveH8147+H6240 brasenH5178 bullsH1241 that were under the basesH4350, which kingH4428 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: the brassH5178 of all these vesselsH3627 was without weightH4948. {the brass: Heb. their brass}
And concerning the pillarsH5982, the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteenH8083+H6240 cubitsH520; and a filletH2339 of twelveH8147+H6240 cubitsH520 did compassH5437 it; and the thicknessH5672 thereof was fourH702 fingersH676: it was hollowH5014. {fillet: Heb. thread}
And a chapiterH3805 of brassH5178 was upon it; and the heightH6967 of oneH259 chapiterH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, with networkH7639 and pomegranatesH7416 upon the chapitersH3805 round aboutH5439, all of brassH5178. The secondH8145 pillarH5982 also and the pomegranatesH7416 were like unto these.
And there were ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 pomegranatesH7416 on a sideH7307; and all the pomegranatesH7416 upon the networkH7639 were an hundredH3967 round aboutH5439.
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}
He tookH3947 also out of the cityH5892 anH259 eunuchH5631, which had the chargeH6496 of the menH582 of warH4421; and sevenH7651 menH582 of them that were nearH7200 the king'sH4428 personH6440, which were foundH4672 in the cityH5892; and the principalH8269 scribeH5608 of the hostH6635, who musteredH6633 the peopleH5971 of the landH776; and threescoreH8346 menH376 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that were foundH4672 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892. {were near…: Heb. saw the face of the king} {principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 them, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247.
And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 them, and put them to deathH4191 in RiblahH7247 in the landH127 of HamathH2574. Thus JudahH3063 was carried away captiveH1540 out of his own landH776.
This is the peopleH5971 whom NebuchadrezzarH5019 carried away captiveH1540: in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 threeH7969 thousandH505 JewsH3064 and threeH7969 and twentyH6242:
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 he carried away captiveH1540 from JerusalemH3389 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 personsH5315: {persons: Heb. souls}
In the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 of the JewsH3064 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 fortyH705 and fiveH2568 personsH5315: all the personsH5315 were fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And it came to pass in the sevenH7651 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of the captivityH1546 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, in the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, that EvilmerodachH192 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 in the first yearH8141 of his reignH4438 lifted upH5375 the headH7218 of JehoiachinH3078 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and brought him forthH3318 out of prisonH1004+H3628,
And spakeH1696 kindlyH2896 unto him, and setH5414 his throneH3678 aboveH4605 the throneH3678 of the kingsH4428 that were with him in BabylonH894, {kindly…: Heb. good things with him}
And changedH8138 his prisonH3608 garmentsH899: and he did continuallyH8548 eatH398 breadH3899 beforeH6440 him all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And for his dietH737, there was a continualH8548 dietH737 givenH5414 him of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, everyH3117 dayH3117 a portionH1697 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416. {every…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day}

For from the leastH6996 of them even unto the greatestH1419 of them every one is givenH1214 to covetousnessH1215; and from the prophetH5030 even unto the priestH3548 every one dealethH6213 falselyH8267.
They have healedH7495 also the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965. {hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}
Were they ashamedH3001 when they had committedH6213 abominationH8441? nayH1571, they were not at allH954 ashamedH954, neitherH1571 couldH3045 they blushH3637: therefore they shall fallH5307 among them that fallH5307: at the timeH6256 that I visitH6485 them they shall be cast downH3782, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Then they tookH8610 the kingH4428, and carried him upH5927 unto the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; where he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.
And I will deliverH5414 them to be removedH2189+H2113 into all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 for their hurtH7451, to be a reproachH2781 and a proverbH4912, a tauntH8148 and a curseH7045, in all placesH4725 whither I shall driveH5080 them. {to be removed: Heb. for removing, or, vexation}
And NebuzaradanH5018 captainH7227 of the guardH2876 tookH3947 these, and broughtH3212 them to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247:
From mountH2022 HorH2023 ye shall point outH8376 your border unto the entranceH935 of HamathH2574; and the goings forthH8444 of the borderH1366 shall be to ZedadH6657:
And the borderH1366 shall go onH3318 to ZiphronH2202, and the goings outH8444 of it shall be at HazarenanH2704: this shall be your northH6828 borderH1366.
And ye shall point outH184 your eastH6924 borderH1366 from HazarenanH2704 to ShephamH8221:
And the coastH1366 shall go downH3381 from ShephamH8221 to RiblahH7247, on the east sideH6924 of AinH5871; and the borderH1366 shall descendH3381, and shall reachH4229 unto the sideH3802 of the seaH3220 of ChinnerethH3672 eastwardH6924: {side of the sea: Heb. shoulder of the sea}
And I will sendH7971 the swordH2719, the famineH7458, and the pestilenceH1698, among them, till they be consumedH8552 from off the landH127 that I gaveH5414 unto them and to their fathersH1.
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.
When ToiH8583 kingH4428 of HamathH2574 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 had smittenH5221 all the hostH2428 of HadadezerH1909,
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
Moreover I will takeH6 from them the voiceH6963 of mirthH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347, and the lightH216 of the candleH5216. {I will…: Heb. I will cause to perish from them}
And this whole landH776 shall be a desolationH2723, and an astonishmentH8047; and these nationsH1471 shall serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 seventyH7657 yearsH8141.
And there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 them seventyH7657 menH376 of the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and in the midstH8432 of them stoodH5975 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, with every manH376 his censerH4730 in his handH3027; and a thickH6282 cloudH6051 of incenseH7004 went upH5927.
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 what the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213 in the darkH2822, every manH376 in the chambersH2315 of his imageryH4906? for they sayH559, The LORDH3068 seethH7200 us not; the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 the earthH776.
He saidH559 also unto me, TurnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 that they doH6213.
Then he broughtH935 me to the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 which was toward the northH6828; and, behold, there satH3427 womenH802 weepingH1058 for TammuzH8542.
Then saidH559 he unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? turnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441 than these.
And he broughtH935 me into the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, and, behold, at the doorH6607 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, were about fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376, with their backsH268 toward the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, and their facesH6440 toward the eastH6924; and they worshippedH7812 the sunH8121 toward the eastH6924.
Then he saidH559 unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? Is it a light thingH7043 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commitH6213 the abominationsH8441 which they commitH6213 here? for they have filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555, and have returnedH7725 to provoke me to angerH3707: and, lo, they putH7971 the branchH2156 to their noseH639. {Is it…: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}
Therefore will I also dealH6213 in furyH2534: mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347, neither will I have pityH2550: and though they cryH7121 in mine earsH241 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, yet will I not hearH8085 them.
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1800 of the peopleH5971, which had nothingH3972, in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and gaveH5414 them vineyardsH3754 and fieldsH3010 at the same timeH3117. {at the…: Heb. in that day}
Moreover the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and broughtH935 me unto the eastH6931 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004, which lookethH6437 eastwardH6921: and behold at the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 menH376; amongH8432 whom I sawH7200 JaazaniahH2970 the sonH1121 of AzurH5809, and PelatiahH6410 the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, princesH8269 of the peopleH5971.
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these are the menH582 that deviseH2803 mischiefH205, and giveH3289 wickedH7451 counselH6098 in this cityH5892:
Which sayH559, It is not nearH7138; let us buildH1129 housesH1004: this city is the caldronH5518, and we be the fleshH1320. {It is…: or, It is not for us to build houses near}
Therefore prophesyH5012 against them, prophesyH5012, O sonH1121 of manH120.
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307 upon me, and saidH559 unto me, SpeakH559; Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thus have ye saidH559, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: for I knowH3045 the things that comeH4609 into your mindH7307, every one of them.
Ye have multipliedH7235 your slainH2491 in this cityH5892, and ye have filledH4390 the streetsH2351 thereof with the slainH2491.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Your slainH2491 whom ye have laidH7760 in the midstH8432 of it, they are the fleshH1320, and this city is the caldronH5518: but I will bring you forthH3318 out of the midstH8432 of it.
Ye have fearedH3372 the swordH2719; and I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will bring you outH3318 of the midstH8432 thereof, and deliverH5414 you into the handsH3027 of strangersH2114, and will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 among you.
Ye shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719; I will judgeH8199 you in the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
This city shall not be your caldronH5518, neither shall ye be the fleshH1320 in the midstH8432 thereof; but I will judgeH8199 you in the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478:
And I will scatterH2219 you among the heathenH1471, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 you: and your landH776 shall be desolateH8077, and your citiesH5892 wasteH2723.
Then shall the landH776 enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676, as longH3117 as it lieth desolateH8074, and ye be in your enemies'H341 landH776; even then shall the landH776 restH7673, and enjoyH7521 her sabbathsH7676.
As long asH3117 it lieth desolateH8074 it shall restH7673; because it did not restH7673 in your sabbathsH7676, when ye dweltH3427 upon it.
I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you this dayH3117, that ye shall soonH4118 utterlyH6 perishH6 from off the landH776 whereunto ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon it, but shall utterlyH8045 be destroyedH8045.
The LORDH3068 shall bringH3212 thee, and thy kingH4428 which thou shalt setH6965 over thee, unto a nationH1471 which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045; and there shalt thou serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 thee among all peopleH5971, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the otherH7097; and there thou shalt serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045, even woodH6086 and stoneH68.
And the LORDH3068 rejectedH3988 all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478, and afflictedH6031 them, and deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of spoilersH8154, until he had castH7993 them out of his sightH6440.
Until the LORDH3068 removedH5493 IsraelH3478 out of his sightH6440, as he had saidH1696 byH3027 all his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. So was IsraelH3478 carried awayH1540 out of their own landH127 to AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will removeH5493 JudahH3063 also out of my sightH6440, as I have removedH5493 IsraelH3478, and will cast offH3988 this cityH5892 JerusalemH3389 which I have chosenH977, and the houseH1004 of which I saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there.
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.
Then saidH559 I, LordH136, how long? And he answeredH559, Until the citiesH5892 be wastedH7582 without inhabitantH3427, and the housesH1004 without manH120, and the landH127 be utterlyH8077 desolateH7582, {utterly…: Heb. desolate with desolation}
And the LORDH3068 have removedH7368 menH120 far awayH7368, and there be a greatH7227 forsakingH5805 in the midstH7130 of the landH776.
The landH776 shall be utterlyH1238 emptiedH1238, and utterlyH962 spoiledH962: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 this wordH1697.
Yet the defencedH1219 cityH5892 shall be desolateH910, and the habitationH5116 forsakenH7971, and leftH5800 like a wildernessH4057: there shall the calfH5695 feedH7462, and there shall he lie downH7257, and consumeH3615 the branchesH5585 thereof.
Upon the landH127 of my peopleH5971 shall come upH5927 thornsH6975 and briersH8068; yea, upon all the housesH1004 of joyH4885 in the joyousH5947 cityH7151: {yea…: or, burning upon}
Because the palacesH759 shall be forsakenH5203; the multitudeH1995 of the cityH5892 shall be leftH5800; the fortsH6076 and towersH975 shall be for densH4631 forH5704 everH5769, a joyH4885 of wild assesH6501, a pastureH4829 of flocksH5739; {forts…: or, clifts and watchtowers}
For I will layH5414 the landH776 mostH4923 desolateH8077, and the pompH1347 of her strengthH5797 shall ceaseH7673; and the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478 shall be desolateH8074, that none shall pass throughH5674. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
Be in painH2342, and labour to bring forthH1518, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, like a woman in travailH3205: for now shalt thou go forthH3318 out of the cityH7151, and thou shalt dwellH7931 in the fieldH7704, and thou shalt goH935 even to BabylonH894; there shalt thou be deliveredH5337; there the LORDH3068 shall redeemH1350 thee from the handH3709 of thine enemiesH341.
