Jeremiah 52:1
|
|
Zedekiah was one and twenty 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:2 |
|
And he did that which was evil in the sight
of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:3 |
|
For through the anger of Jehovah did it come
to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence.
And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:4 |
|
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his
reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against
it; and they built forts against it round about. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:5 |
|
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year
of king Zedekiah. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:6 |
|
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the
month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people
of the land. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 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 Chaldeans
were against the city round about;) and they went toward the Arabah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:8 |
|
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after
the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was
scattered from him. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:9 |
|
Then they took the king, and carried him up
unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment
upon him. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:10 |
|
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah
before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:11 |
|
And 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 till the day of his death. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:12 |
|
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of
the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon,
came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon,
into Jerusalem: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:13 |
|
and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the
king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned
he with fire. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:14 |
|
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were
with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:15 |
|
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried
away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that
were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon,
and the residue of the multitude. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:16 |
|
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left
of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:17 |
|
And the pillars of brass that were in the house
of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah,
did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:18 |
|
The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers,
and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered,
took they away. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:19 |
|
And the cups, and the firepans, and the basins,
and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls-that which was
of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver,- the captain of the
guard took away. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:20 |
|
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve
brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house
of Jehovah-the brass of all these vessels was without weight. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:21 |
|
And as for the pillars, the height of the one
pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the
thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:22 |
|
And a capital of brass was upon it; and the
height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon
the capital round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto
these, and pomegranates. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:23 |
|
And there were ninety and six pomegranates on
the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:24 |
|
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the
chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:25 |
|
and out of the city he took an officer that
was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king's face, that
were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered
the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were
found in the midst of the city. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:26 |
|
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took
them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:27 |
|
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put
them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive
out of his land. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:28 |
|
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried
away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:29 |
|
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he
carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:30 |
|
in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred
forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:31 |
|
And it came to pass 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 Evil-merodach 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; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:32 |
|
and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne
above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:33 |
|
and changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin
did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
