ASV_Strong : Jeremiah 52
1. Zedekiah[H6667] was one[H259] and twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old[H1121] when he began to reign[H4427]; and he reigned[H4427] eleven[H259] years[H8141] in Jerusalem[H3389]: and his mother[H517]'s name[H8034] was Hamutal[H2537] the daughter[H1323] of Jeremiah[H3414] of Libnah[H3841].
2. And he did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], according to all that Jehoiakim[H3079] had done[H6213].
3. For through[H5921] the anger[H639] of Jehovah[H3068] did it come to pass in Jerusalem[H3389] and Judah[H3063], until he had cast them out[H7993] from his presence[H6440]. And Zedekiah[H6667] rebelled[H4775] against the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894].
4. And it came to pass in the ninth[H8671] year[H8141] of his reign[H4427], in the tenth[H6224] month[H2320], in the tenth[H6218] day of the month[H2320], that Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] came[H935], he and all his army[H2428], against Jerusalem[H3389], and encamped[H2583] against it[H1129]; and they built forts[H1785] against it round about[H5439].
5. So[H935] the city[H5892] was besieged[H4692] unto the eleventh[H6249] year[H8141] of king[H4428] Zedekiah[H6667].
6. In the fourth[H7243] month[H2320], in the ninth[H8672] day of the month[H2320], the famine[H7458] was sore[H2388] in the city[H5892], so that there was no bread[H3899] for the people[H5971] of the land[H776].
7. Then a breach[H1234] was made in the city[H5892], and all the men[H582] of war[H4421] fled[H1272], and went forth[H3318] out[H3318] of the city[H5892] by night[H3915] by the way[H1870] of the gate[H8179] between the two walls[H2346], which was by the king[H4428]'s garden[H1588]; (now the Chaldeans[H3778] were against the city[H5892] round about[H5439]😉 and they went[H3212] toward the Arabah[H6160].
8. But the army[H2428] of the Chaldeans[H3778] pursued[H7291] after[H310] the king[H4428], and overtook[H5381] Zedekiah[H6667] in the plains[H6160] of Jericho[H3405]; and all his army[H2428] was scattered from him[H6327].
9. Then they took[H8610] the king[H4428], and carried him up[H5927] unto the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] to Riblah[H7247] in the land[H776] of Hamath[H2574]; and he gave[H1696] judgment upon him[H4941].
10. And the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] slew[H7819] the sons[H1121] of Zedekiah[H6667] before his eyes[H5869]: he slew[H7819] also all the princes[H8269] of Judah[H3063] in Riblah[H7247].
11. And he put out[H5786] the eyes[H5869] of Zedekiah[H6667]; and the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] bound[H631] him in fetters[H5178], and carried[H935] him to Babylon[H894], and put[H5414] him in prison[H1004] till the day[H3117] of his death[H4194].
12. Now in the fifth[H2549] month[H2320], in the tenth[H6218] day of the month[H2320], which was the nineteenth[H6240] year[H8141] of king[H4428] Nebuchadrezzar[H5019], king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], came[H935] Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876], who stood before the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], into Jerusalem[H3389]:
13. and he burned[H8313] the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and the king[H4428]'s house[H1004]; and all the houses[H1004] of Jerusalem[H3389], even every great[H1419] house[H1004], burned[H8313] he with fire[H784].
14. And all the army[H2428] of the Chaldeans[H3778], that were with the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876], brake down[H5422] all the walls[H2346] of Jerusalem[H3389] round about[H5439].
15. Then Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] carried away captive[H1540] of the poorest[H1803] of the people[H5971], and the residue[H3499] of the people[H5971] that were left[H7604] in the city[H5892], and those that fell away[H5307], that fell[H5307] to the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], and the residue[H3499] of the multitude[H527].
16. But Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] left[H7604] of the poorest[H1803] of the land[H776] to be vinedressers[H3755] and husbandmen[H3009].
17. And the pillars[H5982] of brass[H5178] that were in the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], and the bases[H4350] and the brazen[H5178] sea[H3220] that were in the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], did the Chaldeans[H3778] break[H7665] in pieces[H5375], and carried all the brass[H5178] of them to Babylon[H894].
18. The pots[H5518] also[H3257], and the shovels, and the snuffers[H4212], and the basins[H4219], and the spoons[H3709], and all the vessels[H3627] of brass[H5178] wherewith they ministered[H8334], took they away[H3947].
19. And the cups[H4219], and the firepans[H4289], and the basins[H5592], and the pots[H5518], and the candlesticks[H4501], and the spoons[H3709], and the bowls[H4518]—that which was of gold[H2091], in gold[H2091], and that which was of silver[H3701], in silver[H3701],—the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] took[H3947] away[H3947].
20. The two[H8147] pillars[H5982], the one[H259] sea[H3220], and the twelve[H8147] brazen[H5178] bulls[H1241] that were under the bases[H4350], which king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] had made[H6213] for the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068]—the brass[H5178] of all these vessels[H3627] was without weight[H4948].
21. And as for the pillars[H5982], the height[H6967] of the one[H259] pillar[H5982] was eighteen[H8083] cubits[H520]; and a line[H2339] of twelve[H8147] cubits[H520] did compass[H5437] it[H5672]; and the thickness thereof was four[H702] fingers[H676]: it was hollow[H5014].
22. And a capital[H3805] of brass[H5178] was upon it[H6967]; and the height of the one[H259] capital[H3805] was five[H2568] cubits[H520], with network[H7639] and pomegranates[H7416] upon the capital[H3805] round about[H5439], all of brass[H5178]: and the second[H8145] pillar[H5982] also had like unto these[H7416], and pomegranates.
23. And there were ninety[H8673] and six[H8337] pomegranates[H7416] on the sides[H7307]; all the pomegranates[H7416] were a hundred[H3967] upon the network[H7639] round about[H5439].
24. And the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] took[H3947] Seraiah[H8304] the chief[H7218] priest[H3548], and Zephaniah[H6846] the second[H4932] priest[H3548], and the three[H7969] keepers[H8104] of the threshold[H5592]:
25. and out of the city[H5892] he took[H3947] an[H259] officer[H5631] that was set[H6496] over the men[H582] of war[H4421]; and seven[H7651] men[H582] of them that saw[H7200] the king[H4428]'s face[H6440], that were found[H4672] in the city[H5892]; and the scribe[H5608] of the captain[H8269] of the host[H6635], who mustered[H6633] the people[H5971] of the land[H776]; and threescore[H8346] men[H376] of the people[H5971] of the land[H776], that were found[H4672] in the midst[H8432] of the city[H5892].
26. And Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] took[H3947] them[H3212], and brought them to the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] to Riblah[H7247].
27. And the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] smote[H5221] them[H4191], and put them to death at Riblah[H7247] in the land[H127] of Hamath[H2574]. So Judah[H3063] was carried away captive[H1540] out of his land[H776].
28. This is the people[H5971] whom Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] carried away captive[H1540]: in the seventh[H7651] year[H8141] three[H7969] thousand[H505] Jews[H3064] and three[H7969] and twenty[H6242];
29. in the eighteenth[H8083] year[H8141] of Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] he carried away captive[H1540] from Jerusalem[H3389] eight[H8083] hundred[H3967] thirty[H7970] and two[H8147] persons[H5315];
30. in the three[H7969] and twentieth[H6242] year[H8141] of Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] Nebuzaradan[H5018] the captain[H7227] of the guard[H2876] carried away captive[H1540] of the Jews[H3064] seven[H7651] hundred[H3967] forty[H705] and five[H2568] persons[H5315]: all the persons[H5315] were four[H702] thousand[H505] and six[H8337] hundred[H3967].
31. And it came to pass in the seven[H7651] and thirtieth[H7970] year[H8141] of the captivity[H1546] of Jehoiachin[H3078] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], in the twelfth[H8147] month[H2320], in the five[H2568] and twentieth[H6242] day of the month[H2320], that Evil-merodach[H192] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], in the first year[H8141] of his reign[H4438], lifted up[H5375] the head[H7218] of Jehoiachin[H3078] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and brought him forth[H3318] out of prison[H1004];
32. and he spake[H1696] kindly[H2896] to him[H5414], and set his throne[H3678] above[H4605] the throne[H3678] of the kings[H4428] that were with him in Babylon[H894],
33. and changed[H8138] his prison[H3608] garments[H899]. And Jehoiachin did eat[H398] bread[H3899] before[H6440] him continually[H8548] all the days[H3117] of his life[H2416]:
34. and for his allowance[H737], there was a continual[H8548] allowance[H737] given[H5414] him by the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], every[H3117] day[H3117] a portion[H1697] until the day[H3117] of his death[H4194], all the days[H3117] of his life[H2416].
