Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ was one²⁵⁹ and twenty⁶²⁴² years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ eleven²⁵⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Hamutal²⁵³⁷ the daughter¹³²³ of Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ of Libnah.³⁸⁴¹

And he did⁶²¹³ that which was evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ according to all that Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ had done.⁶²¹³

For through⁵⁹²¹ the anger⁶³⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ it came to pass in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ till he had cast them out⁷⁹⁹³ from his presence,⁶⁴⁴⁰ that Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

And it came to pass in the ninth⁸⁶⁷¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign,⁴⁴²⁷ in the tenth⁶²²⁴ month,²³²⁰ in the tenth⁶²¹⁸ day of the month,²³²⁰ that Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ came,⁹³⁵ he and all his army,²⁴²⁸ against Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and pitched²⁵⁸³ against it, and built¹¹²⁹ forts¹⁷⁸⁵ against it round about.⁵⁴³⁹

So the city⁵⁸⁹² was besieged⁹³⁵ unto the eleventh⁶²⁴⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Zedekiah.⁶⁶⁶⁷

And in the fourth⁷²⁴³ month,²³²⁰ in the ninth⁸⁶⁷² day of the month,²³²⁰ the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ was sore²³⁸⁸ in the city,⁵⁸⁹² so that there was no bread³⁸⁹⁹ for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

Then the city⁵⁸⁹² was broken up,¹²³⁴ and all the men⁵⁸² of war⁴⁴²¹ fled,¹²⁷² and went forth³³¹⁸ out of the city⁵⁸⁹² by night³⁹¹⁵ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ between the two walls,²³⁴⁶ which was by the king's⁴⁴²⁸ garden;¹⁵⁸⁸ (now the Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ were by the city⁵⁸⁹² round about:)⁵⁴³⁹ and they went³²¹² by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the plain.⁶¹⁶⁰

But the army²⁴²⁸ of the Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and overtook⁵³⁸¹ Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Jericho;³⁴⁰⁵ and all his army²⁴²⁸ was scattered⁶³²⁷ from him.

Then they took⁸⁶¹⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and carried him up⁵⁹²⁷ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ to Riblah⁷²⁴⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Hamath;²⁵⁷⁴ where he gave¹⁶⁹⁶ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ upon him.

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ slew⁷⁸¹⁹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ before his eyes:⁵⁸⁶⁹ he slew⁷⁸¹⁹ also all the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ in Riblah.⁷²⁴⁷

Then he put out⁵⁷⁸⁶ the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Zedekiah;⁶⁶⁶⁷ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ bound⁶³¹ him in chains,⁵¹⁷⁸ and carried⁹³⁵ him to Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ him in prison¹⁰⁰⁴ till the day³¹¹⁷ of his death.⁴¹⁹⁴

Now in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ month,²³²⁰ in the tenth⁶²¹⁸ day of the month,²³²⁰ which was the⁸¹⁴¹ nineteenth⁸⁶⁷² year⁸¹⁴¹ of⁴⁴²⁸ Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ came⁹³⁵ Nebuzaradan,⁵⁰¹⁸ captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard,²⁸⁷⁶ which served⁵⁹⁷⁵ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ into Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹

2 Kings 25:8

And burned⁸³¹³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ and all the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and all the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of the great¹⁴¹⁹ men, burned⁸³¹³ he with fire:⁷⁸⁴

And all the army²⁴²⁸ of the Chaldeans,³⁷⁷⁸ that were with the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard,²⁸⁷⁶ brake down⁵⁴²² all the walls²³⁴⁶ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

Then Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ certain of the poor¹⁸⁰³ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and the residue³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the city,⁵⁸⁹² and those that fell away,⁵³⁰⁷ that fell⁵³⁰⁷ to the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the multitude.⁵²⁷

But Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ certain of the poor¹⁸⁰³ of the land⁷⁷⁶ for vinedressers³⁷⁵⁵ and for husbandmen.³⁰⁰⁹

Also the pillars⁵⁹⁸² of brass⁵¹⁷⁸ that were in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and the bases,⁴³⁵⁰ and the brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ sea³²²⁰ that was in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ the Chaldeans³⁷⁷⁸ brake,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and carried⁵³⁷⁵ all the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ of them to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

The caldrons⁵⁵¹⁸ also, and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the snuffers,⁴²¹² and the bowls,⁴²¹⁹ and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and all the vessels³⁶²⁷ of brass⁵¹⁷⁸ wherewith they ministered,⁸³³⁴ took they away.³⁹⁴⁷

And the basons,⁵⁵⁹² and the firepans,⁴²⁸⁹ and the bowls,⁴²¹⁹ and the caldrons,⁵⁵¹⁸ and the candlesticks,⁴⁵⁰¹ and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and the cups;⁴⁵¹⁸ that which was of gold²⁰⁹¹ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and that which was of silver³⁷⁰¹ in silver,³⁷⁰¹ took³⁹⁴⁷ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ away.

The two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² one²⁵⁹ sea,³²²⁰ and twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ bulls¹²⁴¹ that were under the bases,⁴³⁵⁰ which king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ of all these vessels³⁶²⁷ was without weight.⁴⁹⁴⁸

And concerning the pillars,⁵⁹⁸² the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ of one²⁵⁹ pillar⁵⁹⁸² was eighteen⁸⁰⁸³ cubits;⁵²⁰ and a fillet²³³⁹ of twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ cubits⁵²⁰ did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it; and the thickness⁵⁶⁷² thereof was four⁷⁰² fingers:⁶⁷⁶ it was hollow.⁵⁰¹⁴

And a chapiter³⁸⁰⁵ of brass⁵¹⁷⁸ was upon it; and the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ of one²⁵⁹ chapiter³⁸⁰⁵ was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ with network⁷⁶³⁹ and pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ upon the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ all of brass.⁵¹⁷⁸ The second⁸¹⁴⁵ pillar⁵⁹⁸² also and the pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ were like unto these.

And there were ninety⁸⁶⁷³ and six⁸³³⁷ pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on a side;⁷³⁰⁷ and all the pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ upon the network⁷⁶³⁹ were an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

And the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ Seraiah⁸³⁰⁴ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and Zephaniah⁶⁸⁴⁶ the second⁴⁹³² priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ keepers⁸¹⁰⁴ of the door:⁵⁵⁹²

He took³⁹⁴⁷ also out of the city⁵⁸⁹² an²⁵⁹ eunuch,⁵⁶³¹ which had the charge⁶⁴⁹⁶ of the men⁵⁸² of war;⁴⁴²¹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ men⁵⁸² of them that were near⁷²⁰⁰ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ person,⁶⁴⁴⁰ which were found⁴⁶⁷² in the city;⁵⁸⁹² and the principal⁸²⁶⁹ scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ of the host,⁶⁶³⁵ who mustered⁶⁶³³ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land;⁷⁷⁶ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ men³⁷⁶ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ that were found⁴⁶⁷² in the midst⁸⁴³² of the city.⁵⁸⁹²

So Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ them, and brought³²¹² them to the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ to Riblah.⁷²⁴⁷

And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ smote⁵²²¹ them, and put them to death⁴¹⁹¹ in Riblah⁷²⁴⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Hamath.²⁵⁷⁴ Thus Judah³⁰⁶³ was carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ out of his own land.¹²⁷

This is the people⁵⁹⁷¹ whom Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ carried away captive:¹⁵⁴⁰ in the seventh⁷⁶⁵¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ Jews³⁰⁶⁴ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ and twenty:⁶²⁴²

In the eighteenth⁸⁰⁸³ year⁸¹⁴¹ of Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ he carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ from Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ persons:⁵³¹⁵

In the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ and twentieth⁶²⁴² year⁸¹⁴¹ of Nebuchadrezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ carried away captive¹⁵⁴⁰ of the Jews³⁰⁶⁴ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ forty⁷⁰⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ persons:⁵³¹⁵ all the persons⁵³¹⁵ were four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷

And it came to pass in the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and thirtieth⁷⁹⁷⁰ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the captivity¹⁵⁴⁶ of Jehoiachin³⁰⁷⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ in the twelfth⁸¹⁴⁷ month,²³²⁰ in the five²⁵⁶⁸ and twentieth⁶²⁴² day of the month,²³²⁰ that Evilmerodach¹⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ in the first year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign⁴⁴³⁸ lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ the head⁷²¹⁸ of Jehoiachin³⁰⁷⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and brought him forth³³¹⁸ out of prison,¹⁰⁰⁴

And spake¹⁶⁹⁶ kindly²⁸⁹⁶ unto him, and set⁵⁴¹⁴ his throne³⁶⁷⁸ above⁴⁶⁰⁵ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ that were with him in Babylon,⁸⁹⁴

And changed⁸¹³⁸ his prison³⁶⁰⁸ garments:⁸⁹⁹ and he did continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ eat³⁹⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him all the days³¹¹⁷ of his life.²⁴¹⁶

And for his diet,⁷³⁷ there was a continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ diet⁷³⁷ given⁵⁴¹⁴ him of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ every day³¹¹⁷ a portion¹⁶⁹⁷ until the day³¹¹⁷ of his death,⁴¹⁹⁴ all the days³¹¹⁷ of his life.²⁴¹⁶
