*
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah ,
in the tenth month ,
came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem ,
and they besieged it .
*
And in the eleventh #
H6240year of Zedekiah ,
in the fourth month ,
the ninth day of the month ,
the city was broken up .
*
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in ,
and sat in the middle gate sha #
ar #,
even Nergalsharezer Nergal Shar #
etser #,
Samgarnebo Camgar ,
Sarsechim ,
Rabsaris Rab-Cariyc #,
Nergalsharezer Nergal Shar #
etser #,
Rabmag Rab-Mag #,
with all the residu #
H7611of the princes of the king of Babylon .
*
And it came to pass ,
that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them ,
and all the men of war ,
then they fled ,
and went forth out of the city by night ,
by the way of the kings garden ,
by the gate betwixt the two walls :
and he went out the way of the plain .
*
But the Chaldeans army pursued after them ,
and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho :
and when they had taken him ,
they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath ,
where he gave judgment upon him .
*
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes :
also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah .
*
Moreover he put out Zedekiahs eyes ,
and bound him with chains ,
to carry him to Babylon .
*
And the Chaldeans burned the kings house ,
and the houses of the people ,
with fire ,
and brake down the walls of Jerusalem .
*
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city ,
and those that fell away ,
that fell to him ,
with the rest of the people that remained .
*
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people ,
which had nothing ,
in the land of Judah ,
and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time .
*
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard ,
saying ,
*
Take him ,
and look well #
H7760 to him ,
and do him no harm m @
uwmah #;
but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee .
*
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent ,
and Nebushasban ,
Rabsaris Rab-Cariyc #,
and Nergalsharezer Nergal Shar #
etser #,
Rabmag Rab-Mag #,
and all the king of Babylons princes ;
*
Even they sent ,
and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison ,
and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan ,
that he should carry him home :
so he dwelt among the people .
*
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah ,
while he was shut up in the court of the prison ,
saying ,
*
Go and speak to Ebedmelech #
Ebedthe Ethiopian ,
saying ,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Behold ,
I will bring my words upon this city for evil ,
and not for good ;
and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee .
*
But I will deliver thee in that day ,
saith the LORD :
and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid .
*
For I will surely deliver thee ,
and thou shalt not fall by the sword ,
but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee :
because thou hast put thy trust in me ,
saith the LORD .
