[1]In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, cameH935[H8804] NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and all his armyH2428 against JerusalemH3389, and they besiegedH6696 itH8799.
[2]And in the eleventhH6249[H6240] yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667, in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, the cityH5892 was broken upH1234.[H8717]
[3]And all the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came inH935[H8799], and satH3427[H8799] in the middleH8432 gateH8179, even NergalsharezerH5371, SamgarneboH5562, SarsechimH8310, RabsarisH7249, NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, with all the residueH7611 of the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
[4]And it came to pass, that when ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200[H8804] them, and all the menH582 of warH4421, then they fledH1272[H8799], and went forthH3318[H8799] out of the cityH5892 by nightH3915, by the wayH1870 of the king'sH4428 gardenH1588, by the gateH8179 betwixt the two wallsH2346: and he went outH3318[H8799] the wayH1870 of the plainH6160.
[5]But the Chaldeans'H3778 armyH2428 pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 them, and overtookH5381[H8686] ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and when they had takenH3947[H8799] him, they brought him upH5927[H8686] to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574, where he gaveH1696[H8762] judgment upon himH4941.
[6]Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819[H8799] the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 in RiblahH7247 before his eyesH5869: also the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819[H8804] all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063.
[7]Moreover he put outH5786[H8765] Zedekiah'sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631[H8799] him with chainsH5178, to carryH935[H8687] him to BabylonH894.
[8]And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313[H8804] the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422[H8804] the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
[9]Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540[H8689] into BabylonH894 the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604[H8737] in the cityH5892, and those that fell awayH5307[H8802], that fellH5307[H8804] to him, with the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604.[H8737]
[10]But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604[H8689] of the poorH1800 of the peopleH5971, which had nothingH3972, in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and gaveH5414[H8799] them vineyardsH3754 and fieldsH3010 at the same timeH3117.
[11]Now NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gave chargeH6680[H8762] concerning JeremiahH3414 toH3027 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, sayingH559,[H8800]
[12]TakeH3947[H8798] him, and look wellH5869[H7760][H8798] to him, and doH6213[H8799] him no harmH3972[H7451]; but doH6213[H8798] unto him even as he shall sayH1696 unto theeH8762.
[13]So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 sentH7971[H8799], and NebushasbanH5021, RabsarisH7249, and NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, and all the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH7227;
[14]Even they sentH7971[H8799], and tookH3947[H8799] JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, and committedH5414[H8799] him unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, that he should carryH3318[H8687] him homeH1004: so he dweltH3427[H8799] amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
[15]Now the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, while he was shut upH6113[H8803] in the courtH2691 of the prisonH4307, sayingH559,[H8800]
[16]GoH1980[H8800] and speakH559[H8804] to EbedmelechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559[H8800], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Behold, I will bringH935[H8688] my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall be accomplished in that dayH3117 before theeH6440.
[17]But I will deliverH5337[H8689] thee in that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: and thou shalt not be givenH5414[H8735] into the handH3027 of the menH582 of whomH6440 thou art afraidH3016.[H8801]
[18]For I will surelyH4422[H8763] deliverH4422[H8762] thee, and thou shalt not fallH5307[H8799] by the swordH2719, but thy lifeH5315 shall be for a preyH7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trustH982[H8804] in me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
