2 Kings 24:1--25:30

In his days
<03117>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came up
<05927> (8804)_,
and Jehoiakim
<03079>
became his servant
<05650>
three
<07969>
years
<08141>_:
then he turned
<07725> (8799)
and rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against him.
And the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8762)
against him bands
<01416>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_,
and bands
<01416>
of the Syrians
<0758>_,
and bands
<01416>
of the Moabites
<04124>_,
and bands
<01416>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
them against Judah
<03063>
to destroy
<06> (8687)
it, according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
his servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
Surely at the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
came [this] upon Judah
<03063>_,
to remove
<05493> (8687)
[them] out of his sight
<06440>_,
for the sins
<02403>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
according to all that he did
<06213> (8804)_;
And also for the innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>
that he shed
<08210> (8804)_:
for he filled
<04390> (8762)
Jerusalem
<03389>
with innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>_;
which the LORD
<03068>
would
<014> (8804)
not pardon
<05545> (8800)_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the acts
<01697>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,
and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_?
So Jehoiakim
<03079>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_:
and Jehoiachin
<03078>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
And the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
came
<03318> (8800)
not again
<03254> (8689)
any more out of his land
<0776>_:
for the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had taken
<03947> (8804)
from the river
<05158>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>
all that pertained to the king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Jehoiachin
<03078>
[was] eighteen
<08083> <06240>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
three
<07969>
months
<02320>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Nehushta
<05179>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Elnathan
<0494>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{Jehoiachin: also called Jeconiah and Coniah}
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that his father
<01>
had done
<06213> (8804)_.
At that time
<06256>
the servants
<05650>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came up
<05927> (8804)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the city
<05892>
was besieged
<0935> (8799) <04692>_.
{was...: Heb. came into siege}
And Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came
<0935> (8799)
against the city
<05892>_,
and his servants
<05650>
did besiege
<06696> (8802)
it.
And Jehoiachin
<03078>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
he, and his mother
<0517>_,
and his servants
<05650>_,
and his princes
<08269>_,
and his officers
<05631>_:
and the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
took
<03947> (8799)
him in the eighth
<08083>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.
{officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}
And he carried out
<03318> (8686)
thence all the treasures
<0214>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the treasures
<0214>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and cut in pieces
<07112> (8762)
all the vessels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>
which Solomon
<08010>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
had made
<06213> (8804)
in the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
had said
<01696> (8765)_.
And he carried away
<01540> (8689)
all Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and all the princes
<08269>_,
and all the mighty men
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_,
[even] ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
captives
<01540> (8802)_,
and all the craftsmen
<02796>
and smiths
<04525>_:
none remained
<07604> (8738)_,
save
<02108>
the poorest sort
<01803>
of the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_.
And he carried away
<01540> (8686)
Jehoiachin
<03078>
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and the king's
<04428>
mother
<0517>_,
and the king's
<04428>
wives
<0802>_,
and his officers
<05631>_,
and the mighty
<0352> (8675) <0193>
of the land
<0776>_,
[those] carried
<03212> (8689)
he into captivity
<01473>
from Jerusalem
<03389>
to Babylon
<0894>_.
{officers: or, eunuchs}
And all the men
<0582>
of might
<02428>_,
[even] seven
<07651>
thousand
<0505>_,
and craftsmen
<02796>
and smiths
<04525>
a thousand
<0505>_,
all [that were] strong
<01368>
[and] apt
<06213> (8802)
for war
<04421>_,
even them the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
brought
<0935> (8686)
captive
<01473>
to Babylon
<0894>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
made Mattaniah
<04983>
his father's brother
<01730>
king
<04427> (8686)
in his stead, and changed
<05437> (8686)
his name
<08034>
to Zedekiah
<06667>_.
Zedekiah
<06667>
[was] twenty
<06242>
and one
<0259>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
eleven
<0259> <06240>
years
<08141>
in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And his mother's
<0517>
name
<08034>
[was] Hamutal
<02537>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Jeremiah
<03414>
of Libnah
<03841>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
according to all that Jehoiakim
<03079>
had done
<06213> (8804)_.
For through the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
it came to pass in Jerusalem
<03389>
and Judah
<03063>_,
until he had cast them out
<07993> (8689)
from his presence
<06440>_,
that Zedekiah
<06667>
rebelled
<04775> (8799)
against the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
And it came to pass in the ninth
<08671>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
in the tenth
<06224>
month
<02320>_,
in the tenth
<06218>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
he, and all his host
<02428>_,
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
against it; and they built
<01129> (8799)
forts
<01785>
against it round about
<05439>_.
And the city
<05892>
was besieged
<0935> (8799) <04692>
unto the eleventh
<06249> <06240>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Zedekiah
<06667>_.
And on the ninth
<08672>
[day] of the [fourth] month
<02320>
the famine
<07458>
prevailed
<02388> (8799)
in the city
<05892>_,
and there was no bread
<03899>
for the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_.
And the city
<05892>
was broken up
<01234> (8735)_,
and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
[fled] by night
<03915>
by the way
<01870>
of the gate
<08179>
between two walls
<02346>_,
which [is] by the king's
<04428>
garden
<01588>_:
(now the Chaldees
<03778>
[were] against the city
<05892>
round about
<05439>:)
and [the king] went
<03212> (8799)
the way
<01870>
toward the plain
<06160>_.
And the army
<02428>
of the Chaldees
<03778>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
the king
<04428>_,
and overtook
<05381> (8686)
him in the plains
<06160>
of Jericho
<03405>_:
and all his army
<02428>
were scattered
<06327> (8738)
from him.
So they took
<08610> (8799)
the king
<04428>_,
and brought him up
<05927> (8686)
to the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
to Riblah
<07247>_;
and they gave
<01696> (8762)
judgment
<04941>
upon him. {gave...: Heb. spake judgment with him}
And they slew
<07819> (8804)
the sons
<01121>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
before his eyes
<05869>_,
and put out
<05786> (8765)
the eyes
<05869>
of Zedekiah
<06667>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him with fetters
<05178>
of brass
<05178>_,
and carried
<0935> (8686)
him to Babylon
<0894>_.
{put...: Heb. made blind}
And in the fifth
<02549>
month
<02320>_,
on the seventh
<07651>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
which [is] the nineteenth
<08672> <06240> <08141>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
Nebuzaradan
<05018>_,
captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>_,
a servant
<05650>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:
{captain...: or, chief marshal}
And he burnt
<08313> (8799)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
and all the houses
<01004>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and every great
<01419>
[man's] house
<01004>
burnt
<08313> (8804)
he with fire
<0784>_.
And all the army
<02428>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_,
that [were with] the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>_,
brake down
<05422> (8804)
the walls
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
round about
<05439>_.
Now the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
[that were] left
<07604> (8737)
in the city
<05892>_,
and the fugitives
<05307> (8802)
that fell away
<05307> (8804)
to the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
with the remnant
<03499>
of the multitude
<01995>_,
did Nebuzaradan
<05018>
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
carry away
<01540> (8689)_.
{fugitives: Heb. fallen away}
But the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
left
<07604> (8689)
of the poor
<01803>
of the land
<0776>
[to be] vinedressers
<03755>
and husbandmen
<03009> (8802) (8675) <01461> (8801)_.
And the pillars
<05982>
of brass
<05178>
that [were] in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the bases
<04350>_,
and the brasen
<05178>
sea
<03220>
that [was] in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
did the Chaldees
<03778>
break in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,
and carried
<05375> (8799)
the brass
<05178>
of them to Babylon
<0894>_.
And the pots
<05518>_,
and the shovels
<03257>_,
and the snuffers
<04212>_,
and the spoons
<03709>_,
and all the vessels
<03627>
of brass
<05178>
wherewith they ministered
<08334> (8762)_,
took they away
<03947> (8804)_.
And the firepans
<04289>_,
and the bowls
<04219>_,
[and] such things as [were] of gold
<02091>_,
[in] gold
<02091>_,
and of silver
<03701>_,
[in] silver
<03701>_,
the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took away
<03947> (8804)_.
The two
<08147>
pillars
<05982>_,
one
<0259>
sea
<03220>_,
and the bases
<04350>
which Solomon
<08010>
had made
<06213> (8804)
for the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
the brass
<05178>
of all these vessels
<03627>
was without
<03808>
weight
<04948>_.
{one...: Heb. the one sea}
The height
<06967>
of the one
<0259>
pillar
<05982>
[was] eighteen
<08083> <06240>
cubits
<0520>_,
and the chapiter
<03805>
upon it [was] brass
<05178>_:
and the height
<06967>
of the chapiter
<03805>
three
<07969>
cubits
<0520>_;
and the wreathen work
<07639>_,
and pomegranates
<07416>
upon the chapiter
<03805>
round about
<05439>_,
all of brass
<05178>_:
and like unto these had the second
<08145>
pillar
<05982>
with wreathen work
<07639>_.
And the captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took
<03947> (8799)
Seraiah
<08304>
the chief
<07218>
priest
<03548>_,
and Zephaniah
<06846>
the second
<04932>
priest
<03548>_,
and the three
<07969>
keepers
<08104> (8802)
of the door
<05592>_:
{door: Heb. threshold}
And out of the city
<05892>
he took
<03947> (8804)
an
<0259>
officer
<05631>
that was set
<06496>
over the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
and five
<02568>
men
<0582>
of them that were
<07200> (8802)
in the king's
<04428>
presence
<06440>_,
which were found
<04672> (8738)
in the city
<05892>_,
and the principal
<08269>
scribe
<05608> (8802)
of the host
<06635>_,
which mustered
<06633> (8688)
the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_,
and threescore
<08346>
men
<0376>
of the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
[that were] found
<04672> (8737)
in the city
<05892>_:
{officer: or, eunuch} {were in...: Heb. saw the king's face} {principal...: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
And Nebuzaradan
<05018>
captain
<07227>
of the guard
<02876>
took
<03947> (8799)
these, and brought
<03212> (8686)
them to the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
to Riblah
<07247>_:
And the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
smote
<05221> (8686)
them, and slew
<04191> (8686)
them at Riblah
<07247>
in the land
<0776>
of Hamath
<02574>_.
So Judah
<03063>
was carried away
<01540> (8799)
out of their land
<0127>_.
And [as for] the people
<05971>
that remained
<07604> (8737)
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
whom Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had left
<07604> (8689)_,
even over them he made Gedaliah
<01436>
the son
<01121>
of Ahikam
<0296>_,
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
ruler
<06485> (8686)_.
And when all the captains
<08269>
of the armies
<02428>_,
they and their men
<0582>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had made Gedaliah
<01436>
governor
<06485> (8689)_,
there came
<0935> (8799)
to Gedaliah
<01436>
to Mizpah
<04709>_,
even Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
and Johanan
<03110>
the son
<01121>
of Careah
<07143>_,
and Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Tanhumeth
<08576>
the Netophathite
<05200>_,
and Jaazaniah
<02970>
the son
<01121>
of a Maachathite
<04602>_,
they and their men
<0582>_.
And Gedaliah
<01436>
sware
<07650> (8735)
to them, and to their men
<0582>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not to be the servants
<05650>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_:
dwell
<03427> (8798)
in the land
<0776>_,
and serve
<05647> (8798)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_;
and it shall be well
<03190> (8799)
with you.
But it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_,
that Ishmael
<03458>
the son
<01121>
of Nethaniah
<05418>_,
the son
<01121>
of Elishama
<0476>_,
of the seed
<02233>
royal
<04410>_,
came
<0935> (8804)_,
and ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
Gedaliah
<01436>_,
that he died
<04191> (8799)_,
and the Jews
<03064>
and the Chaldees
<03778>
that were with him at Mizpah
<04709>_.
{royal: Heb. of the kingdom}
And all the people
<05971>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_,
and the captains
<08269>
of the armies
<02428>_,
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Egypt
<04714>_:
for they were afraid
<03372> (8804)
of
<06440>
the Chaldees
<03778>_.
And it came to pass in the seven
<07651>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of the captivity
<01546>
of Jehoiachin
<03078>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
month
<02320>_,
on the seven
<07651>
and twentieth
<06242>
[day] of the month
<02320>_,
[that] Evilmerodach
<0192>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
in the year
<08141>
that he began to reign
<04427> (8800)
did lift up
<05375> (8804)
the head
<07218>
of Jehoiachin
<03078>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
out of prison
<01004> <03608>_;
And he spake
<01696> (8762)
kindly
<02896>
to him, and set
<05414> (8799)
his throne
<03678>
above the throne
<03678>
of the kings
<04428>
that [were] with him in Babylon
<0894>_;
{kindly...: Heb. good things with him}
And changed
<08132> (8765)
his prison
<03608>
garments
<0899>_:
and he did eat
<0398> (8804)
bread
<03899>
continually
<08548>
before
<06440>
him all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_.
And his allowance
<0737>
[was] a continual
<08548>
allowance
<0737>
given
<05414> (8738)
him of the king
<04428>_,
a daily
<03117> <03117>
rate
<01697>
for every day
<03117>_,
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_.
