2 Kings 25:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 So King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came against Jerusalem with his whole army and set up camp outside it. They built siege ramps all around it. He arrived on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign.
2 The city remained under siege until King Zedekiah's eleventh year.
3 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city was so severe the residents had no food.
4 The enemy broke through the city walls, and all the soldiers tried to escape. They left the city during the night. They went through the gate between the two walls that is near the king's garden. (The Babylonians were all around the city.) Then they headed for the Jordan Valley.
5 But the Babylonian army chased after the king. They caught up with him in the plains of Jericho, and his entire army deserted him.
6 They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he passed sentence on him.
7 Zedekiah's sons were executed while Zedekiah was forced to watch. The king of Babylon then had Zedekiah's eyes put out, bound him in bronze chains, and carried him off to Babylon.
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard who served the king of Babylon, arrived in Jerusalem.
9 He burned down the LORD's temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.
10 The whole Babylonian army that came with the captain of the royal guard tore down the walls that surrounded Jerusalem.
11 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, deported the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen.
12 But he left behind some of the poor of the land and gave them fields and vineyards.
13 The Babylonians broke the two bronze pillars in the LORD's temple, as well as the movable stands and the big bronze basin called the "The Sea." They took the bronze to Babylon.
14 They also took the pots, shovels, trimming shears, pans, and all the bronze utensils used by the priests.
15 The captain of the royal guard took the golden and silver censers and basins.
16 The bronze of the items that King Solomon made for the LORD's temple— including the two pillars, the big bronze basin called "The Sea," the twelve bronze bulls under "The Sea," and the movable stands— was too heavy to be weighed.
17 Each of the pillars was about twenty-seven feet high. The bronze top of one pillar was about four and a half feet high and had bronze latticework and pomegranate shaped ornaments all around it. The second pillar with its latticework was like it.
18 The captain of the royal guard took Seraiah the chief priest and Zephaniah, the priest who was second in rank, and the three doorkeepers.
19 From the city he took a eunuch who was in charge of the soldiers, five of the king's advisers who were discovered in the city, an official army secretary who drafted citizens for military service, and sixty citizens from the people of the land who were discovered in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan, captain of the royal guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 The king of Babylon ordered them to be executed at Riblah in the territory of Hamath. So Judah was deported from its land.
22 Now King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, as governor over the people whom he allowed to remain in the land of Judah.
23 All of the officers of the Judahite army and their troops heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah to govern. So they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah. The officers who came were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite.
24 Gedaliah took an oath so as to give them and their troops some assurance of safety. He said, "You don't need to be afraid to submit to the Babylonian officials. Settle down in the land and submit to the king of Babylon. Then things will go well for you."
25 But in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten of his men and murdered Gedaliah, as well as the Judeans and Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Then all the people, from the youngest to the oldest, as well as the army officers, left for Egypt, because they were afraid of what the Babylonians might do.
27 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin of Judah, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, King Evil-Merodach of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, pardoned King Jehoiachin of Judah and released him from prison.
28 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prestigious position than the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Jehoiachin took off his prison clothes and ate daily in the king's presence for the rest of his life.
30 He was given daily provisions by the king for the rest of his life until the day he died.

4 And the city H5892 D-GFS was broken up H1234 , and all H3605 W-CMS the men H376 CMP of war H4421 fled by night H3915 D-AMS by the way H1870 NMS of the gate H8179 NMS between H996 PREP two walls H2346 , which H834 RPRO is by H5921 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS \'s garden H1588 NMS : (now the Chaldees H3778 were against H5921 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS round about H5439 ADV : ) and the king went H1980 W-VQY3MS the way H1870 NMS toward the plain H6160 .

6 So they took H8610 the king H4428 NMS , and brought him up H5927 to H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS to Riblah H7247 ; and they gave H1696 W-VPY3MP judgment H4941 NMS upon H854 PREP-3MS him .
7 And they slew H7819 the sons H1121 of Zedekiah H6667 before his eyes H5869 , and put out H5786 the eyes H5869 CMD 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 WBD-NMS , on the seventh H7651 B-MMS day of the month H2320 LD-NMS , which H1931 PPRO-3FS is the nineteenth H8672 BFS year H8141 of king H4428 NMS Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS , came H935 VQPMS Nebuzaradan H5018 , captain H7227 AMS of the guard H2876 , a servant H5650 NMS of the king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS , unto Jerusalem H3389 :
9 And he burnt H8313 the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 CMS , and all H3605 NMS the houses H1004 of Jerusalem H3389 , and every H3605 NMS great H1419 AMS man\'s house H1004 CMS burnt H8313 he with fire H784 .
10 And all H3605 NMS the army H2428 of the Chaldees H3778 TMP , that H834 RPRO were with the captain H7227 AMS of the guard H2876 , broke down H5422 the walls H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 round about H5439 ADV .
11 Now the rest H3499 of the people H5971 that were left H7604 in the city H5892 BD-NFS , and the fugitives H5307 that H834 RPRO fell away H5307 VQQ3MP to H5921 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS of Babylon H894 LFS , with the remnant H3499 of the multitude H1995 , did Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 AMS of the guard H2876 carry away H1540 .

13 And the pillars H5982 CMP of brass H5178 that H834 RPRO were in the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and the bases H4350 , and the brazen H5178 sea H3220 NMS that H834 RPRO was in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , did the Chaldees H3778 break in pieces H7665 , and carried H5375 W-VQY3MP the brass H5178 of them to Babylon H894 .

22 And as for the people H5971 that remained H7604 in the land H776 B-GFS of Judah H3063 , whom H834 RPRO Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 NMS of Babylon H894 LFS had left H7604 , even over H5921 PREP-3MP them he made Gedaliah H1436 the son H1121 of Ahikam H296 , the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 , ruler H6485 .
