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 eyes of
the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:3 |
|
For through the anger of the LORD it came to
pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that
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 pitched against
it, and built forts against it round about. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:5 |
|
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year
of king Zedekiah. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:6 |
|
And 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 the city was broken up, 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 by the
city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain. |
|
|
|
| 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; where 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 |
|
Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the
king of Babylon bound him in chains, 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came
Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:13 |
|
And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's
house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, 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 certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people
that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of
Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:16 |
|
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left
certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:17 |
|
Also the pillars of brass that were in the house
of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD,
the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:18 |
|
The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the
snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith
they ministered, took they away. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:19 |
|
And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls,
and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which
was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain
of the guard away. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:20 |
|
The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen
bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the
LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:21 |
|
And concerning the pillars, the height of one
pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and
the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:22 |
|
And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the
height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the
chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates
were like unto these. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:23 |
|
And there were ninety and six pomegranates on
a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred 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 door: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:25 |
|
He took also out of the city an eunuch, which
had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's
person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe 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 |
|
So 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 in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive
out of his own 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 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:32 |
|
And spake kindly unto 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 he did
continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 52:34 |
|
And for his diet, there was a continual diet
given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death,
all the days of his life. |
