2 Kings 25

1 Jerusalem is besieged. 4 Zedekiah taken, his sons slain, his eyes put out. 8 Nebuzar-adan defaceth the city, carrieth the remnant, except a few poor labourers, into captivity, 13 spoileth and carrieth away the treasures. 18 The nobles are slain at Riblah. 22 Gedaliah, who was set over them that remained, being slain, the rest flee into Egypt. 27 Evil-merodach advanceth Jehoiachin in his court.

 25:1 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 in the ninth 8671 year 8141 of his reign, 4427 z8800 in the tenth 6224 month, 2320 in the tenth 6218 [day] of the month, 2320 [that] Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 came, 935 z8804 he, x1931 and all x3605 his host, 2428 against x5921 Jerusalem, 3389 and pitched 2583 z8799 against x5921 it; and they built 1129 z8799 forts 1785 against x5921 it round about. 5439

 25:2 And the city 5892 was besieged 935 4692 z8799 unto x5704 the eleventh 6249 6240 year 8141 of king 4428 Zedekiah. 6667

 25:3 And on the ninth 8672 [day] of the [fourth] month 2320 the famine 7458 prevailed 2388 z8799 in the city, 5892 and there was x1961 no x3808 bread 3899 for the people 5971 of the land. 776

 25:4 ¶ And the city 5892 was broken up, 1234 z8735 and all x3605 the men y582 x376 of war 4421 [fled] by night 3915 by the way 1870 of the gate 8179 between x996 two walls, 2346 which x834 [is] by x5921 the king's 4428 garden: 1588 (now the Chaldees 3778 [were] against x5921 the city 5892 round about:) 5439 and [the king] went y3212 z8799 x1980 the way 1870 toward the plain. 6160

 25:5 And the army 2428 of the Chaldees 3778 pursued 7291 z8799 after 310 the king, 4428 and overtook 5381 z8686 him in the plains 6160 of Jericho: 3405 and all x3605 his army 2428 were scattered 6327 z8738 from x4480 x5921 him.

 25:6 So they took 8610 z8799 x853 the king, 4428 and brought him up 5927 z8686 x853 to x413 the king 4428 of Babylon 894 to Riblah; 7247 and they gave 1696 z8762 judgment 4941 upon x854 him.

 25:7 And they slew 7819 z8804 the sons 1121 of Zedekiah 6667 before his eyes, 5869 and put out 5786 z8765 x853 the eyes 5869 of Zedekiah, 6667 and bound 631 z8799 him with fetters y5178 of brass, 5178 and carried 935 z8686 him to Babylon. 894

 25:8 ¶ And in the fifth 2549 month, 2320 on the seventh 7651 [day] of the month, 2320 which x1931 [is] the nineteenth 8672 6240 y8141 year 8141 of king 4428 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon, 894 came 935 z8804 Nebuzaradan, 5018 captain 7227 of the guard, 2876 a servant 5650 of the king 4428 of Babylon, 894 unto Jerusalem: 3389

 25:9 And he burnt 8313 z8799 x853 the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and the king's 4428 house, 1004 and all x3605 the houses 1004 of Jerusalem, 3389 and every x3605 great 1419 [man's] house 1004 burnt 8313 z8804 he with fire. 784

 25:10 And all x3605 the army 2428 of the Chaldees, 3778 that x834 [were with] the captain 7227 of the guard, 2876 brake down 5422 z8804 the walls 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 round about. 5439

 25:11 Now the rest 3499 of the people 5971 [that were] left 7604 z8737 in the city, 5892 and the fugitives 5307 z8802 that x834 fell away 5307 z8804 to x5921 the king 4428 of Babylon, 894 with the remnant 3499 of the multitude, 1995 did Nebuzaradan 5018 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 carry away. 1540 z8689

 25:12 But the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 left 7604 z8689 of the poor 1803 x4480 of the land 776 [to be] vinedressers 3755 and husbandmen. 3009 z8802 z8675 y1461 z8801

 25:13 And the pillars 5982 of brass 5178 that x834 [were] in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and the bases, 4350 and the brasen 5178 sea 3220 that x834 [was] in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 did the Chaldees 3778 break in pieces, 7665 z8765 and carried 5375 z8799 x853 the brass 5178 of them to Babylon. 894

 25:14 And the pots, 5518 and the shovels, 3257 and the snuffers, 4212 and the spoons, 3709 and all x3605 the vessels 3627 of brass 5178 wherewith x834 they ministered, 8334 z8762 took they away. 3947 z8804

 25:15 And the firepans, 4289 and the bowls, 4219 [and] such things as x834 [were] of gold, 2091 [in] gold, 2091 and of silver, 3701 [in] silver, 3701 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 took away. 3947 z8804

 25:16 The two 8147 pillars, 5982 one 259 sea, 3220 and the bases 4350 which x834 Solomon 8010 had made 6213 z8804 for the house 1004 of the LORD; 3068 the brass 5178 of all x3605 these x428 vessels 3627 was x1961 without 3808 weight. 4948

 25:17 The height 6967 of the one 259 pillar 5982 [was] eighteen 8083 6240 cubits, 520 and the chapiter 3805 upon x5921 it [was] brass: 5178 and the height 6967 of the chapiter 3805 three 7969 cubits; 520 and the wreathen work, 7639 and pomegranates 7416 upon x5921 the chapiter 3805 round about, 5439 all x3605 of brass: 5178 and like unto these x428 had the second 8145 pillar 5982 with x5921 wreathen work. 7639

 25:18 ¶ And the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 took 3947 z8799 x853 Seraiah 8304 the chief 7218 priest, 3548 and Zephaniah 6846 the second 4932 priest, 3548 and the three 7969 keepers 8104 z8802 of the door: 5592

 25:19 And out of x4480 the city 5892 he took 3947 z8804 an 259 officer 5631 that x834 x1931 was set 6496 over x5921 the men y582 x376 of war, 4421 and five 2568 men y582 x376 of them that were 7200 z8802 x4480 in the king's 4428 presence, 6440 which x834 were found 4672 z8738 in the city, 5892 and the principal 8269 scribe 5608 z8802 of the host, 6635 which mustered 6633 z8688 x853 the people 5971 of the land, 776 and threescore 8346 men 376 of the people 5971 x4480 of the land 776 [that were] found 4672 z8737 in the city: 5892

 25:20 And Nebuzaradan 5018 captain 7227 of the guard 2876 took 3947 z8799 these, and brought y3212 z8686 x1980 them to x5921 the king 4428 of Babylon 894 to Riblah: 7247

 25:21 And the king 4428 of Babylon 894 smote 5221 z8686 them, and slew 4191 z8686 them at Riblah 7247 in the land 776 of Hamath. 2574 So Judah 3063 was carried away 1540 z8799 out of x4480 x5921 their land. 127

 25:22 ¶ And [as for] the people 5971 that remained 7604 z8737 in the land 776 of Judah, 3063 whom x834 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 had left, 7604 z8689 even over x5921 them he made x853 Gedaliah 1436 the son 1121 of Ahikam, 296 the son 1121 of Shaphan, 8227 ruler. 6485 z8686

 25:23 And when all x3605 the captains 8269 of the armies, 2428 they x1992 and their men, y582 x376 heard 8085 z8799 that x3588 the king 4428 of Babylon 894 had made x853 Gedaliah 1436 governor, 6485 z8689 there came 935 z8799 to x413 Gedaliah 1436 to Mizpah, 4709 even Ishmael 3458 the son 1121 of Nethaniah, 5418 and Johanan 3110 the son 1121 of Careah, 7143 and Seraiah 8304 the son 1121 of Tanhumeth 8576 the Netophathite, 5200 and Jaazaniah 2970 the son 1121 of a Maachathite, 4602 they x1992 and their men. y582 x376

 25:24 And Gedaliah 1436 sware 7650 z8735 to them, and to their men, y582 x376 and said 559 z8799 unto them, Fear 3372 z8799 not x408 to be the servants 5650 x4480 of the Chaldees: 3778 dwell 3427 z8798 in the land, 776 and serve 5647 z8798 x853 the king 4428 of Babylon; 894 and it shall be well 3190 z8799 with you.

 25:25 But it came to pass x1961 in the seventh 7637 month, 2320 that Ishmael 3458 the son 1121 of Nethaniah, 5418 the son 1121 of Elishama, 476 of the seed 2233 x4480 royal, 4410 came, 935 z8804 and ten 6235 men y582 x376 with x854 him, and smote 5221 z8686 x853 Gedaliah, 1436 that he died, 4191 z8799 and the Jews 3064 and the Chaldees 3778 that x834 were x1961 with x854 him at Mizpah. 4709

 25:26 And all x3605 the people, 5971 both small 6996 x4480 and great, 1419 and the captains 8269 of the armies, 2428 arose, 6965 z8799 and came 935 z8799 to Egypt: 4714 for x3588 they were afraid 3372 z8804 of 6440 x4480 the Chaldees. 3778

 25:27 ¶ And it came to pass x1961 in the seven 7651 and thirtieth 7970 year 8141 of the captivity 1546 of Jehoiachin 3078 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 in the twelfth 8147 6240 month, 2320 on the seven 7651 and twentieth 6242 [day] of the month, 2320 [that] Evilmerodach 192 king 4428 of Babylon 894 in the year 8141 that he began to reign 4427 z8800 did lift up 5375 z8804 x853 the head 7218 of Jehoiachin 3078 king 4428 of Judah 3063 out of prison; 1004 3608 x4480

 25:28 And he spake 1696 z8762 kindly 2896 to x854 him, and set 5414 z8799 x853 his throne 3678 above x4480 x5921 the throne 3678 of the kings 4428 that x834 [were] with x854 him in Babylon; 894

 25:29 And changed 8132 z8765 x853 his prison 3608 garments: 899 and he did eat 398 z8804 bread 3899 continually 8548 before 6440 him all x3605 the days 3117 of his life. 2416

 25:30 And his allowance 737 [was] a continual 8548 allowance 737 given 5414 z8738 him of x4480 x854 the king, 4428 a daily 3117 rate 1697 for every day, 3117 all x3605 the days 3117 of his life. 2416
