2 Kings 25:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 So King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and all his army came to fight against Jerusalem. This happened on the 10 day of the tenth month of Zedekiah's ninth year as king. Nebuchadnezzar put his army around Jerusalem to stop people from going in and out of the city. Then he built a wall of dirt around the city.
2 His army stayed around Jerusalem until Zedekiah's eleventh year as king of Judah.
3 The famine was getting worse and worse in the city. By the 9 day of the fourth month there was no more food for the common people in the city.
4 Nebuchadnezzar's army finally broke through the city wall. That night King Zedekiah and all his soldiers ran away. They used the secret gate that went through the double walls. It was by the king's garden. The enemy soldiers were all around the city, but Zedekiah and his men escaped on the road to the desert.
5 The Babylonian army chased King Zedekiah and caught him near Jericho. All of Zedekiah's soldiers left him and ran away.
6 The Babylonians took King Zedekiah to the king of Babylon at Riblah. The Babylonians decided to punish Zedekiah.
7 They killed Zedekiah's sons in front of him. Then they put out Zedekiah's eyes. They put chains on him and took him to Babylon.
8 Nebuchadnezzar came to Jerusalem on the 7 day of the fifth month of his nineteenth year as king of Babylon. The captain of Nebuchadnezzar's best soldiers was Nebuzaradan.
9 Nebuzaradan burned the Lord's Temple, the king's palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. He destroyed even the largest houses.
10 Then the Babylonian army that was with Nebuzaradan pulled down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Nebuzaradan captured all the people who were still left in the city. He took all the people as prisoners, even those who had tried to surrender.
12 He let only the poorest of the common people stay there. He let them stay so that they could take care of the grapes and other crops.
13 The Babylonian soldiers broke into pieces all the bronze things in the Lord's Temple. They broke the bronze columns, the bronze carts, and the large bronze tank. Then they took all of that bronze to Babylon.
14 The Babylonians also took the pots, the shovels, the tools for trimming the lamps, the spoons, and all the bronze dishes that were used in the Lord's Temple.
15 Nebuzaradan took all the firepans and bowls. He took all the things made of gold for the gold. And he took everything made of silver for the silver.
16 So Nebuzaradan took the large bronze tank and the 2 bronze columns. (Each column was about 31 feet tall. The capitals on the columns were over 5 feet tall. They were made from bronze and had a design like a net and pomegranates. Both columns had the same kind of design.) He also took the carts that Solomon made for the Lord's Temple. The bronze from these things was too heavy to be weighed.

18 {From the Temple} Nebuzaradan took Seraiah the high priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three men who guarded the entrance.
19 From the city Nebuzaradan took one official who was in charge of the army and five of the king's advisors who were still in the city. He took one secretary of the commander of the army who was in charge of counting the common people and choosing some of them to be soldiers and 60 people who just happened to be in the city.
20 Then Nebuzaradan took all these people to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the area of Hamath. The king of Babylon killed them there at Riblah. And the people of Judah were led away as prisoners from their land.

22 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left some people in the land of Judah. There was a man named Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan. Nebuchadnezzar made Gedaliah governor over the people in Judah.
23 The army captains were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth from Netophah, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite. These army captains and their men heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, so they went to Mizpah to meet with him.
24 Gedaliah made promises to these officers and their men. He said to them, "Don't be afraid of the Babylonian officers. Stay here and serve the king of Babylon. Then everything will be all right with you."
25 Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama was from the king's family. In the seventh month Ishmael and ten of his men attacked Gedaliah and killed all the men of Judah and Babylonians who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah.
26 Then the army officers and all the people ran away to Egypt. Everyone, from the least important to the most important, ran away because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
27 Later, Evil Merodach became the king of Babylon. He let King Jehoiachin of Judah out of prison. This happened in the 37 year after Jehoiachin was captured. This was on the 27 day of the twelfth month from the time that Evil Merodach began to rule.
28 Evil Merodach was kind to Jehoiachin. He gave Jehoiachin a more important place to sit than the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Evil Merodach let Jehoiachin stop wearing prison clothes. And every day for the rest of his life Jehoiachin ate at the same table with the king.
30 And each day, for as long as Jehoiachin lived, the king gave him enough money to pay for whatever he needed.
1 And it came to pass H1961 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 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came, H935 he, H1931 and all H3605 his host, H2428 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and pitched H2583 against H5921 it ; and they built H1129 forts H1785 against H5921 it round about. H5439
2 And the city H5892 was besieged H935 H4692 unto H5704 the eleventh H6249 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Zedekiah. H6667
3 And on the ninth H8672 day of the fourth month H2320 the famine H7458 prevailed H2388 in the city, H5892 and there was H1961 no H3808 bread H3899 for the people H5971 of the land. H776
4 And the city H5892 was broken up, H1234 and all H3605 the men H376 of war H4421 fled by night H3915 by the way H1870 of the gate H8179 between H996 two walls, H2346 which H834 is by H5921 the king's H4428 garden: H1588 (now the Chaldees H3778 were against H5921 the city H5892 round about: H5439 ) and the king went H1980 the way H1870 toward the plain. H6160
5 And the army H2428 of the Chaldees H3778 pursued H7291 after H310 the king, H4428 and overtook H5381 him in the plains H6160 of Jericho: H3405 and all H3605 his army H2428 were scattered H6327 from H4480 H5921 him.
6 So they took H8610 H853 the king, H4428 and brought him up H5927 H853 to H413 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 to Riblah; H7247 and they gave H1696 judgment H4941 upon H854 him.
7 And they slew H7819 the sons H1121 of Zedekiah H6667 before his eyes, H5869 and put out H5786 H853 the eyes H5869 of Zedekiah, H6667 and bound H631 him with fetters of brass, H5178 and carried H935 him to Babylon. H894
8 And in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 on the seventh H7651 day of the month, H2320 which H1931 is the nineteenth H8672 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 came H935 Nebuzaradan, H5018 captain H7227 of the guard, H2876 a servant H5650 of the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 unto Jerusalem: H3389
9 And he burnt H8313 H853 the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the king's H4428 house, H1004 and all H3605 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and every H3605 great H1419 man's house H1004 burnt H8313 he with fire. H784
10 And all H3605 the army H2428 of the Chaldees, H3778 that H834 were with the captain H7227 of the guard, H2876 broke down H5422 the walls H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 round about. H5439
11 Now the rest H3499 of the people H5971 that were left H7604 in the city, H5892 and the fugitives H5307 that H834 fell away H5307 to H5921 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 with the remnant H3499 of the multitude, H1995 did Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 carry away. H1540
12 But the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 left H7604 of the poor H4480 H1803 of the land H776 to be vinedressers H3755 and husbandmen. H3009
13 And the pillars H5982 of brass H5178 that H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the bases, H4350 and the brazen H5178 sea H3220 that H834 was in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 did the Chaldees H3778 break in pieces, H7665 and carried H5375 H853 the brass H5178 of them to Babylon. H894
14 And the pots, H5518 and the shovels, H3257 and the snuffers, H4212 and the spoons, H3709 and all H3605 the vessels H3627 of brass H5178 wherewith H834 they ministered, H8334 took they away. H3947
15 And the firepans, H4289 and the bowls, H4219 and such things as H834 were of gold, H2091 in gold, H2091 and of silver, H3701 in silver, H3701 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 took away. H3947
16 The two H8147 pillars, H5982 one H259 sea, H3220 and the bases H4350 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 for the house H1004 of the LORD; H3068 the brass H5178 of all H3605 these H428 vessels H3627 was H1961 without H3808 weight. H4948
17 The height H6967 of the one H259 pillar H5982 was eighteen H8083 H6240 cubits, H520 and the chapiter H3805 upon H5921 it was brass: H5178 and the height H6967 of the chapiter H3805 three H7969 cubits; H520 and the wreathen work, H7639 and pomegranates H7416 upon H5921 the chapiter H3805 round about, H5439 all H3605 of brass: H5178 and like unto these H428 had the second H8145 pillar H5982 with H5921 wreathen work. H7639
18 And the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 took H3947 H853 Seraiah H8304 the chief H7218 priest, H3548 and Zephaniah H6846 the second H4932 priest, H3548 and the three H7969 keepers H8104 of the door: H5592
19 And out of H4480 the city H5892 he took H3947 an H259 officer H5631 that H834 H1931 was set H6496 over H5921 the men H376 of war, H4421 and five H2568 men H376 of them that were H4480 H7200 in the king's H4428 presence, H6440 which H834 were found H4672 in the city, H5892 and the principal H8269 scribe H5608 of the host, H6635 which mustered H6633 H853 the people H5971 of the land, H776 and threescore H8346 men H376 of the people H4480 H5971 of the land H776 that were found H4672 in the city: H5892
20 And Nebuzaradan H5018 captain H7227 of the guard H2876 took H3947 these , and brought H1980 them to H5921 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 to Riblah: H7247
21 And the king H4428 of Babylon H894 smote H5221 them , and slew H4191 them at Riblah H7247 in the land H776 of Hamath. H2574 So Judah H3063 was carried away H1540 out of H4480 H5921 their land. H127
22 And as for the people H5971 that remained H7604 in the land H776 of Judah, H3063 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 had left, H7604 even over H5921 them he made H853 Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam, H296 the son H1121 of Shaphan, H8227 ruler. H6485
23 And when all H3605 the captains H8269 of the armies, H2428 they H1992 and their men, H376 heard H8085 that H3588 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had made H853 Gedaliah H1436 governor, H6485 there came H935 to H413 Gedaliah H1436 to Mizpah, H4709 even Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah, H5418 and Johanan H3110 the son H1121 of Careah, H7143 and Seraiah H8304 the son H1121 of Tanhumeth H8576 the Netophathite, H5200 and Jaazaniah H2970 the son H1121 of a Maachathite, H4602 they H1992 and their men. H376
24 And Gedaliah H1436 swore H7650 to them , and to their men, H376 and said H559 unto them, Fear H3372 not H408 to be the servants H4480 H5650 of the Chaldees: H3778 dwell H3427 in the land, H776 and serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon; H894 and it shall be well H3190 with you.
25 But it came to pass H1961 in the seventh H7637 month, H2320 that Ishmael H3458 the son H1121 of Nethaniah, H5418 the son H1121 of Elishama, H476 of the seed H4480 H2233 royal, H4410 came, H935 and ten H6235 men H376 with H854 him , and smote H5221 H853 Gedaliah, H1436 that he died, H4191 and the Jews H3064 and the Chaldees H3778 that H834 were H1961 with H854 him at Mizpah. H4709
26 And all H3605 the people, H5971 both small H4480 H6996 and great, H1419 and the captains H8269 of the armies, H2428 arose, H6965 and came H935 to Egypt: H4714 for H3588 they were afraid H3372 of H4480 H6440 the Chaldees. H3778
27 And it came to pass H1961 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 H6240 month, H2320 on the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 day of the month, H2320 that Evilmerodach H192 king H4428 of Babylon H894 in the year H8141 that he began to reign H4427 did lift up the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah H3063 out of prison H4480 H1004; H3608
28 And he spoke H1696 kindly H2896 to H854 him , and set H5414 H853 his throne H3678 above H4480 H5921 the throne H3678 of the kings H4428 that H834 were with H854 him in Babylon; H894
29 And changed H8132 H853 his prison H3608 garments: H899 and he did eat H398 bread H3899 continually H8548 before H6440 him all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416
30 And his allowance H737 was a continual H8548 allowance H737 given H5414 him of H4480 H854 the king, H4428 a daily H3117 rate H1697 for every day, H3117 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416
