¹ And it came to pass in the ninth ^H8671 year ^H8141 of his reign, ^H4427 in the tenth ^H6224 month, ^H2320 in the tenth ^H6218 day of the month, ^H2320 that Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 came, ^H935 he, and all his host, ^H2428 against Jerusalem, ^H3389 and pitched ^H2583 against it; and they built ^H1129 forts ^H1785 against it round about. ^H5439

² And the city ^H5892 was besieged ^{H935 H4692} unto the eleventh ^{H6249 H6240} year ^H8141 of king ^H4428 Zedekiah. ^H6667

³ And on the ninth ^H8672 day of the fourth month ^H2320 the famine ^H7458 prevailed ^H2388 in the city, ^H5892 and there was no bread ^H3899 for the people ^H5971 of the land. ^H776

⁴ And the city ^H5892 was broken up, ^H1234 and all the men ^H582 of war ^H4421 fled by night ^H3915 by the way ^H1870 of the gate ^H8179 between two walls, ^H2346 which is by the king's ^H4428 garden: ^H1588 (now the Chaldees ^H3778 were against the city ^H5892 round about:) ^H5439 and the king went ^H3212 the way ^H1870 toward the plain. ^H6160

⁵ And the army ^H2428 of the Chaldees ^H3778 pursued ^H7291 after ^H310 the king, ^H4428 and overtook ^H5381 him in the plains ^H6160 of Jericho: ^H3405 and all his army ^H2428 were scattered ^H6327 from him.

⁶ So they took ^H8610 the king, ^H4428 and brought him up ^H5927 to the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 to Riblah; ^H7247 and they gave ^H1696 judgment ^H4941 upon him.

⁷ And they slew ^H7819 the sons ^H1121 of Zedekiah ^H6667 before his eyes, ^H5869 and put out ^H5786 the eyes ^H5869 of Zedekiah, ^H6667 and bound ^H631 him with fetters ^H5178 of brass, ^H5178 and carried ^H935 him to Babylon. ^H894

⁸ And in the fifth ^H2549 month, ^H2320 on the seventh ^H7651 day of the month, ^H2320 which is the nineteenth ^{H8672 H6240 H8141} year ^H8141 of king ^H4428 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 came ^H935 Nebuzaradan, ^H5018 captain ^H7227 of the guard, ^H2876 a servant ^H5650 of the king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 unto Jerusalem: ^H3389

⁹ And he burnt ^H8313 the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 and all the houses ^H1004 of Jerusalem, ^H3389 and every great ^H1419 man's house ^H1004 burnt ^H8313 he with fire. ^H784

¹⁰ And all the army ^H2428 of the Chaldees, ^H3778 that were with the captain ^H7227 of the guard, ^H2876 brake down ^H5422 the walls ^H2346 of Jerusalem ^H3389 round about. ^H5439

¹¹ Now the rest ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 that were left ^H7604 in the city, ^H5892 and the fugitives ^H5307 that fell away ^H5307 to the king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 with the remnant ^H3499 of the multitude, ^H1995 did Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 carry away. ^H1540

¹² But the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 left ^H7604 of the poor ^H1803 of the land ^H776 to be vinedressers ^H3755 and husbandmen. ^{H3009 H1461}

¹³ And the pillars ^H5982 of brass ^H5178 that were in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and the bases, ^H4350 and the brasen ^H5178 sea ^H3220 that was in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 did the Chaldees ^H3778 break in pieces, ^H7665 and carried ^H5375 the brass ^H5178 of them to Babylon. ^H894

¹⁴ And the pots, ^H5518 and the shovels, ^H3257 and the snuffers, ^H4212 and the spoons, ^H3709 and all the vessels ^H3627 of brass ^H5178 wherewith they ministered, ^H8334 took they away. ^H3947

¹⁵ And the firepans, ^H4289 and the bowls, ^H4219 and such things as were of gold, ^H2091 in gold, ^H2091 and of silver, ^H3701 in silver, ^H3701 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 took away. ^H3947

¹⁶ The two ^H8147 pillars, ^H5982 one ^H259 sea, ^H3220 and the bases ^H4350 which Solomon ^H8010 had made ^H6213 for the house ^H1004 of the LORD; ^H3068 the brass ^H5178 of all these vessels ^H3627 was without ^H3808 weight. ^H4948

¹⁷ The height ^H6967 of the one ^H259 pillar ^H5982 was eighteen ^{H8083 H6240} cubits, ^H520 and the chapiter ^H3805 upon it was brass: ^H5178 and the height ^H6967 of the chapiter ^H3805 three ^H7969 cubits; ^H520 and the wreathen work, ^H7639 and pomegranates ^H7416 upon the chapiter ^H3805 round about, ^H5439 all of brass: ^H5178 and like unto these had the second ^H8145 pillar ^H5982 with wreathen work. ^H7639

¹⁸ And the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 took ^H3947 Seraiah ^H8304 the chief ^H7218 priest, ^H3548 and Zephaniah ^H6846 the second ^H4932 priest, ^H3548 and the three ^H7969 keepers ^H8104 of the door: ^H5592

¹⁹ And out of the city ^H5892 he took ^H3947 an ^H259 officer ^H5631 that was set ^H6496 over the men ^H582 of war, ^H4421 and five ^H2568 men ^H582 of them that were ^H7200 in the king's ^H4428 presence, ^H6440 which were found ^H4672 in the city, ^H5892 and the principal ^H8269 scribe ^H5608 of the host, ^H6635 which mustered ^H6633 the people ^H5971 of the land, ^H776 and threescore ^H8346 men ^H376 of the people ^H5971 of the land ^H776 that were found ^H4672 in the city: ^H5892

²⁰ And Nebuzaradan ^H5018 captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 took ^H3947 these, and brought ^H3212 them to the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 to Riblah: ^H7247

²¹ And the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 smote ^H5221 them, and slew ^H4191 them at Riblah ^H7247 in the land ^H776 of Hamath. ^H2574 So Judah ^H3063 was carried away ^H1540 out of their land. ^H127

²² And as for the people ^H5971 that remained ^H7604 in the land ^H776 of Judah, ^H3063 whom Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 had left, ^H7604 even over them he made Gedaliah ^H1436 the son ^H1121 of Ahikam, ^H296 the son ^H1121 of Shaphan, ^H8227 ruler. ^H6485

²³ And when all the captains ^H8269 of the armies, ^H2428 they and their men, ^H582 heard ^H8085 that the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 had made Gedaliah ^H1436 governor, ^H6485 there came ^H935 to Gedaliah ^H1436 to Mizpah, ^H4709 even Ishmael ^H3458 the son ^H1121 of Nethaniah, ^H5418 and Johanan ^H3110 the son ^H1121 of Careah, ^H7143 and Seraiah ^H8304 the son ^H1121 of Tanhumeth ^H8576 the Netophathite, ^H5200 and Jaazaniah ^H2970 the son ^H1121 of a Maachathite, ^H4602 they and their men. ^H582

²⁴ And Gedaliah ^H1436 sware ^H7650 to them, and to their men, ^H582 and said ^H559 unto them, Fear ^H3372 not to be the servants ^H5650 of the Chaldees: ^H3778 dwell ^H3427 in the land, ^H776 and serve ^H5647 the king ^H4428 of Babylon; ^H894 and it shall be well ^H3190 with you.

²⁵ But it came to pass in the seventh ^H7637 month, ^H2320 that Ishmael ^H3458 the son ^H1121 of Nethaniah, ^H5418 the son ^H1121 of Elishama, ^H476 of the seed ^H2233 royal, ^H4410 came, ^H935 and ten ^H6235 men ^H582 with him, and smote ^H5221 Gedaliah, ^H1436 that he died, ^H4191 and the Jews ^H3064 and the Chaldees ^H3778 that were with him at Mizpah. ^H4709

²⁶ And all the people, ^H5971 both small ^H6996 and great, ^H1419 and the captains ^H8269 of the armies, ^H2428 arose, ^H6965 and came ^H935 to Egypt: ^H4714 for they were afraid ^H3372 of ^H6440 the Chaldees. ^H3778

²⁷ And it came to pass in the seven ^H7651 and thirtieth ^H7970 year ^H8141 of the captivity ^H1546 of Jehoiachin ^H3078 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 in the twelfth ^{H8147 H6240} month, ^H2320 on the seven ^H7651 and twentieth ^H6242 day of the month, ^H2320 that Evilmerodach ^H192 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 in the year ^H8141 that he began to reign ^H4427 did lift up ^H5375 the head ^H7218 of Jehoiachin ^H3078 king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 out of prison; ^{H1004 H3608}
