* Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign , and he reigned eleven #H6240years in Jerusalem . And his mothers name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah . * And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD , according to all that Jehoiakim had done . * 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 . * 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 . * So the city was besieged unto the eleventh #H6240year of king Zedekiah . * 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 . * 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 kings garden ; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about : ) and they went by the way of the plain . * 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 . * 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 . * And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes : he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah . * 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 bayith # till the day of his death . * Now in the fifth month , in the tenth day of the month , which was the nineteenth tesha # #H8141year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon , came Nebuzaradan , captain of the guard , which served # the king of Babylon , into Jerusalem , * And burned the house of the LORD , and the kings house ; and all the houses of Jerusalem , and all the houses of the great men , burned he with fire : * And all the army of the Chaldeans , that were with the captain of the guard , brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about . * 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 . * But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * The two pillars , one sea , and twelve sh @nayim # 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 . * And concerning the pillars , the height of one pillar was eighteen sh @moneh # cubits ; and a fillet of twelve sh @nayim # cubits did compass it ; and the thickness thereof was four fingers : it was hollow . * 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 . * And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side ; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about . * And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest , and Zephaniah the second priest , and the three keepers of the door : * 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 kings 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 . * So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them , and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah . * 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 . * This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive : in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty : * In the eighteenth sh @moneh # year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons : * In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty #arba #iym # and five persons : all the persons were four thousand and six hundred me #ah #. * And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah , in the twelfth sh @nayim # month , in the five and twentieth day of the month , that Evilmerodach #Eviylking 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 bayith #, * And spake kindly unto him , and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon , * And changed his prison garments : and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life . * 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 .
