Jeremiah, starting at chapter 52
{52:1} Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and
he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was
Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {52:2} He did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had
done. {52:3} For through the anger of the LORD it happened in
Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence.
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. {52:4} It happened in
the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of
the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his
army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts
against it round about. {52:5} So the city was besieged to the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah. {52:6} In the fourth month, in the
ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that
there was no bread for the people of the land. {52:7} Then a breach
was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out
of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls,
which was by the king's garden; (now the Kasdim were against the city
all around;) and they went toward the Arabah. {52:8} But the army of
the Kasdim pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains
of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. {52:9} Then they
took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in
the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him. {52:10} The king of
Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also
all the princes of Judah in Riblah. {52:11} He put out the eyes of
Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried
him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
{52:12} Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which
was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of
Babylon, into Jerusalem: {52:13} and he burned the house of the LORD,
and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every
great house, burned he with fire. {52:14} All the army of the Kasdim,
who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of
Jerusalem all around. {52:15} Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the
residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell
away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the
multitude. {52:16} But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of
the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers. {52:17}
The Kasdim broke the pillars of brass that were in the house of the
LORD, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of the
LORD in pieces, and carried all the of their brass to Babylon. {52:18}
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins,
the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
{52:19} The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans,
the basins, the pots, the menorahs, the spoons, and the bowls; that
which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
{52:20} They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze
bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the
house of the LORD. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.
{52:21} As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen
cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness
was four fingers. It was hollow. {52:22} A capital of brass was on it;
and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and
pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second
pillar also had like these, and pomegranates. {52:23} There were
ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one
hundred on the network all around. {52:24} The captain of the guard
took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and
the three keepers of the threshold: {52:25} and out of the city he
took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of
those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the
scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the
land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the
midst of the city. {52:26} Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took
them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. {52:27} The
king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the
land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
{52:28} This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive:
in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews; {52:29} in the
eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from
Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons; {52:30} in the three and
twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard
carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all
the persons were four thousand and six hundred. {52:31} It happened in
the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of
Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the
month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his
reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him
forth out of prison; {52:32} and he spoke kindly to him, and set his
throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
{52:33} and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before
him continually all the days of his life: {52:34} and for his
allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of
Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days
of his life.
