Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 052
052:001
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD,
according to all that Jehoiakim had done
052:002
For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem
and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon
052:003
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the
tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army,
against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts
against it round about
052:004
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
Zedekiah
052:005
And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the
famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for
the people of the land
052:006
Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and
went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate
between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now
the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by
the way of the plain
052:007
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and
overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army
was scattered from him
052:008
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of
Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave
judgment upon him
052:009
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his
eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah
052:010
Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon
bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him
in prison till the day of his death
052:011
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which
was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king
of Babylon, into Jerusalem
052:012
And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and
all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great
men, burned he with fire
052:013
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain
of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round
about
052:014
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive
certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the
people that remained in the city, and those that fell away,
that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the
multitude
052:015
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the
poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen
052:016
Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD,
and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the
LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them
to Babylon
052:017
The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the
bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith
they ministered, took they away
052:018
And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the
caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups;
that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver
in silver, took the captain of the guard away
052:019
The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were
under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of
the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight
052:020
And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was
eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it;
and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow
052:021
And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one
chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon
the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar
also and the pomegranates were like unto these
052:022
And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all
the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about
052:023
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest,
and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the
door
052:024
He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge
of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the
king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal
scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and
threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in
the midst of the city
052:025
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought
them to the king of Babylon to Riblah
052:026
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in
Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away
captive out of his own land
052:027
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive:
in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty
052:028
In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away
captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons
052:029
In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan
the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews
seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were
four thousand and six hundred
052:030
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the
captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month,
in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach
king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the
head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of
prison
052:031
And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne
of the kings that were with him in Babylon
052:032
And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat
bread before him all the days of his life
052:033
And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the
king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his
death, all the days of his life.
