sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:2 @ And the Lord sent against him predatory bands of the Chaldeans, and predatory bands of the Syrians, and predatory bands of the Moabites, and predatory bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of his servants the prophets.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:3 @ But only at the order of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove the same out of his sight, for the sins of Menasseh, in accordance with all that he had done;
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:4 @ And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; wherefore the Lord would not pardon.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:5 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:7 @ And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that had pertained to the king of Egypt.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:8 @ Eighteen years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mothers name was Nechushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:19 @ And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim had done.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:24:20 @ For through the anger of the Lord it occurred in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:5 @ And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around him.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:12 @ But from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:13 @ And the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof to Babylon.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:15 @ And the censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard away.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:16 @ The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:17 @ Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed work.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:18 @ And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chiefpriest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three doorkeepers;

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:20 @ And Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:21 @ And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile out of their land.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:22 @ And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:23 @ And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:24 @ And Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will be well with you.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:25 @ But it happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishmael the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:26 @ And then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:28 @ And he spoke kindly to him, and set his chair above the chair of the kings that were with him in Babylon:
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:29 @ And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Kings:25:30 @ And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, all the days of his life.
