52:1 | Zedekiah <06667> [was] one <0259> and twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800), and he reigned <04427> (8804) eleven <0259> <06240> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> [was] Hamutal <02537> the daughter <01323> of Jeremiah <03414> of Libnah <03841>. {began...: Heb. reigned} |
52:2 | And he did <06213> (8799) [that which was] evil <07451> in the eyes <05869> of the LORD <03068>, according to all that Jehoiakim <03079> had done <06213> (8804). |
52:3 | For through <05921> the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> it came to pass in Jerusalem <03389> and Judah <03063>, till he had cast them out <07993> (8687) from his presence <06440>, that Zedekiah <06667> rebelled <04775> (8799) against the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>. |
52:4 | And it came to pass in the ninth <08671> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800), in the tenth <06224> month <02320>, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935> (8804), he and all his army <02428>, against Jerusalem <03389>, and pitched <02583> (8799) against it, and built <01129> (8799) forts <01785> against it round about <05439>. |
52:5 | So <0935> (8799) the city <05892> was besieged <04692> unto the eleventh <06249> <06240> year <08141> of king <04428> Zedekiah <06667>. |
52:6 | And in the fourth <07243> month <02320>, in the ninth <08672> [day] of the month <02320>, the famine <07458> was sore <02388> (8799) in the city <05892>, so that there was no bread <03899> for the people <05971> of the land <0776>. |
52:7 | Then the city <05892> was broken up <01234> (8735), and all the men <0582> of war <04421> fled <01272> (8799), and went forth <03318> (8799) out of the city <05892> by night <03915> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> between the two walls <02346>, which [was] by the king's <04428> garden <01588>; (now the Chaldeans <03778> [were] by the city <05892> round about <05439>:) and they went <03212> (8799) by the way <01870> of the plain <06160>. |
52:8 | But the army <02428> of the Chaldeans <03778> pursued <07291> (8799) after <0310> the king <04428>, and overtook <05381> (8686) Zedekiah <06667> in the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>; and all his army <02428> was scattered <06327> (8738) from him. |
52:9 | Then they took <08610> (8799) the king <04428>, and carried him up <05927> (8686) unto the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247> in the land <0776> of Hamath <02574>; where he gave <01696> (8762) judgment <04941> upon him. |
52:10 | And the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> slew <07819> (8799) the sons <01121> of Zedekiah <06667> before his eyes <05869>: he slew <07819> (8804) also all the princes <08269> of Judah <03063> in Riblah <07247>. |
52:11 | Then he put out <05786> (8765) the eyes <05869> of Zedekiah <06667>; and the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> bound <0631> (8799) him in chains <05178>, and carried <0935> (8686) him to Babylon <0894>, and put <05414> (8799) him in prison <01004> <06486> till the day <03117> of his death <04194>. {put out: Heb. blinded} {chains: or, fetters} {prison: Heb. house of the wards} |
52:12 | Now in the fifth <02549> month <02320>, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month <02320>, which [was] the nineteenth <08672> <06240> <08141> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, came <0935> (8804) Nebuzaradan <05018>, captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, [which] served <05975> (8804) <06440> the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, into Jerusalem <03389>, {captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {served: Heb. stood before} |
52:13 | And burned <08313> (8799) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king's <04428> house <01004>; and all the houses <01004> of Jerusalem <03389>, and all the houses <01004> of the great <01419> [men], burned <08313> (8804) he with fire <0784>: |
52:14 | And all the army <02428> of the Chaldeans <03778>, that [were] with the captain <07227> of the guard <02876>, brake down <05422> (8804) all the walls <02346> of Jerusalem <03389> round about <05439>. |
52:15 | Then Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> carried away captive <01540> (8689) [certain] of the poor <01803> of the people <05971>, and the residue <03499> of the people <05971> that remained <07604> (8737) in the city <05892>, and those that fell away <05307> (8802), that fell <05307> (8804) to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and the rest <03499> of the multitude <0527>. |
52:16 | But Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> left <07604> (8689) [certain] of the poor <01803> of the land <0776> for vinedressers <03755> and for husbandmen <03009> (8802). |
52:17 | Also the pillars <05982> of brass <05178> that [were] in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the bases <04350>, and the brasen <05178> sea <03220> that [was] in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, the Chaldeans <03778> brake <07665> (8765), and carried <05375> (8799) all the brass <05178> of them to Babylon <0894>. |
52:18 | The caldrons <05518> also, and the shovels <03257>, and the snuffers <04212>, and the bowls <04219>, and the spoons <03709>, and all the vessels <03627> of brass <05178> wherewith they ministered <08334> (8762), took they away <03947> (8804). {shovels: or, instruments to remove the ashes} {bowls: or, basons} |
52:19 | And the basons <05592>, and the firepans <04289>, and the bowls <04219>, and the caldrons <05518>, and the candlesticks <04501>, and the spoons <03709>, and the cups <04518>; [that] which [was] of gold <02091> [in] gold <02091>, and [that] which [was] of silver <03701> [in] silver <03701>, took <03947> (0) the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> away <03947> (8804). {firepans: or, censers} |
52:20 | The two <08147> pillars <05982>, one <0259> sea <03220>, and twelve <08147> <06240> brasen <05178> bulls <01241> that [were] under the bases <04350>, which king <04428> Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: the brass <05178> of all these vessels <03627> was without weight <04948>. {the brass: Heb. their brass} |
52:21 | And [concerning] the pillars <05982>, the height <06967> of one <0259> pillar <05982> [was] eighteen <08083> <06240> cubits <0520>; and a fillet <02339> of twelve <08147> <06240> cubits <0520> did compass <05437> (8799) it; and the thickness <05672> thereof [was] four <0702> fingers <0676>: [it was] hollow <05014> (8803). {fillet: Heb. thread} |
52:22 | And a chapiter <03805> of brass <05178> [was] upon it; and the height <06967> of one <0259> chapiter <03805> [was] five <02568> cubits <0520>, with network <07639> and pomegranates <07416> upon the chapiters <03805> round about <05439>, all [of] brass <05178>. The second <08145> pillar <05982> also and the pomegranates <07416> [were] like unto these. |
52:23 | And there were ninety <08673> and six <08337> pomegranates <07416> on a side <07307>; [and] all the pomegranates <07416> upon the network <07639> [were] an hundred <03967> round about <05439>. |
52:24 | And the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took <03947> (8799) Seraiah <08304> the chief <07218> priest <03548>, and Zephaniah <06846> the second <04932> priest <03548>, and the three <07969> keepers <08104> (8802) of the door <05592>: {door: Heb. threshold} |
52:25 | He took <03947> (8804) also out of the city <05892> an <0259> eunuch <05631>, which had the charge <06496> of the men <0582> of war <04421>; and seven <07651> men <0582> of them that were near <07200> (8802) the king's <04428> person <06440>, which were found <04672> (8738) in the city <05892>; and the principal <08269> scribe <05608> (8802) of the host <06635>, who mustered <06633> (8688) the people <05971> of the land <0776>; and threescore <08346> men <0376> of the people <05971> of the land <0776>, that were found <04672> (8737) in the midst <08432> of the city <05892>. {were near...: Heb. saw the face of the king} {principal...: or, scribe of the captain of the host} |
52:26 | So Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took <03947> (8799) them, and brought <03212> (8686) them to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247>. |
52:27 | And the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> smote <05221> (8686) them, and put them to death <04191> (8686) in Riblah <07247> in the land <0127> of Hamath <02574>. Thus Judah <03063> was carried away captive <01540> (8799) out of his own land <0776>. |
52:28 | This [is] the people <05971> whom Nebuchadrezzar <05019> carried away captive <01540> (8689): in the seventh <07651> year <08141> three <07969> thousand <0505> Jews <03064> and three <07969> and twenty <06242>: |
52:29 | In the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> he carried away captive <01540> (8689) from Jerusalem <03389> eight <08083> hundred <03967> thirty <07970> and two <08147> persons <05315>: {persons: Heb. souls} |
52:30 | In the three <07969> and twentieth <06242> year <08141> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> Nebuzaradan <05018> the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> carried away captive <01540> (8689) of the Jews <03064> seven <07651> hundred <03967> forty <0705> and five <02568> persons <05315>: all the persons <05315> [were] four <0702> thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967>. |
52:31 | And it came to pass in the seven <07651> and thirtieth <07970> year <08141> of the captivity <01546> of Jehoiachin <03078> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, in the twelfth <08147> <06240> month <02320>, in the five <02568> and twentieth <06242> [day] of the month <02320>, [that] Evilmerodach <0192> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> in the [first] year <08141> of his reign <04438> lifted up <05375> (8804) the head <07218> of Jehoiachin <03078> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and brought him forth <03318> (8686) out of prison <01004> <03628>, |
52:32 | And spake <01696> (8762) kindly <02896> unto him, and set <05414> (8799) his throne <03678> above <04605> the throne <03678> of the kings <04428> that [were] with him in Babylon <0894>, {kindly...: Heb. good things with him} |
52:33 | And changed <08138> (8765) his prison <03608> garments <0899>: and he did continually <08548> eat <0398> (8804) bread <03899> before <06440> him all the days <03117> of his life <02416>. |
52:34 | And [for] his diet <0737>, there was a continual <08548> diet <0737> given <05414> (8738) him of the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, every <03117> day <03117> a portion <01697> until the day <03117> of his death <04194>, all the days <03117> of his life <02416>. {every...: Heb. the matter of the day in his day} |
