2 Kings 24:1--25:30

24:1

In his days
<03117>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came up
<05927> (8804)_,

and Jehoiakim
<03079>

became his servant
<05650>

three
<07969>

years
<08141>_:

then he turned
<07725> (8799)

and rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against him.

24:2

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

against him bands
<01416>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the Moabites
<04124>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

them against Judah
<03063>

to destroy
<06> (8687)

it, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

24:3

Surely at the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

came [this] upon Judah
<03063>_,

to remove
<05493> (8687)

[them] out of his sight
<06440>_,

for the sins
<02403>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

according to all that he did
<06213> (8804)_;

24:4

And also for the innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

that he shed
<08210> (8804)_:

for he filled
<04390> (8762)

Jerusalem
<03389>

with innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_;

which the LORD
<03068>

would
<014> (8804)

not pardon
<05545> (8800)_.

24:5

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

24:6

So Jehoiakim
<03079>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_:

and Jehoiachin
<03078>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

24:7

And the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>

came
<03318> (8800)

not again
<03254> (8689)

any more out of his land
<0776>_:

for the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

from the river
<05158>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto the river
<05104>

<06578>

all that pertained to the king
<04428>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

three
<07969>

<02320>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Nehushta
<05179>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Elnathan
<0494>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{Jehoiachin: also called Jeconiah and Coniah}

24:9

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that his father
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

24:10

At that time
<06256>

the servants
<05650>

of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came up
<05927> (8804)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and the city
<05892>

was besieged
<0935> (8799) <04692>_.

{was...: Heb. came into siege}

24:11

And Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came
<0935> (8799)

against the city
<05892>_,

and his servants
<05650>

did besiege
<06696> (8802)

it.

24:12

And Jehoiachin
<03078>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

he, and his mother
<0517>_,

and his servants
<05650>_,

and his princes
<08269>_,

and his officers
<05631>_:

and the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

took
<03947> (8799)

him in the eighth
<08083>

<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

{officers: or, eunuchs} {his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year}

24:13

And he carried out
<03318> (8686)

thence all the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and cut in pieces
<07112> (8762)

all the vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>

which Solomon
<08010>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

had made
<06213> (8804)

in the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had said
<01696> (8765)_.

24:14

And he carried away
<01540> (8689)

all Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and all the princes

and all the mighty men

of valour
<02428>_,

[even] ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

captives
<01540> (8802)_,

and all the craftsmen
<02796>

and smiths
<04525>_:

none remained
<07604> (8738)_,

save
<02108>

the poorest sort
<01803>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

24:15

And he carried away
<01540> (8686)

Jehoiachin
<03078>

to Babylon
<0894>_,

and the king's
<04428>

mother
<0517>_,

and the king's

wives
<0802>_,

and his officers
<05631>_,

and the mighty

<07651>

<0505>_,

and craftsmen
<02796>

and smiths
<04525>

a thousand
<0505>_,

all [that were] strong
<01368>

[and] apt
<06213> (8802)

for war
<04421>_,

even them the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

brought
<0935> (8686)

captive
<01473>

to Babylon
<0894>_.

24:17

And the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

made Mattaniah
<04983>

his father's brother
<01730>

king
<04427> (8686)

in his stead, and changed
<05437> (8686)

his name
<08034>

to Zedekiah
<06667>_.

24:18

Zedekiah
<06667>

[was] twenty
<06242>

and one
<0259>

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>_.

24:19

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that Jehoiakim
<03079>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

24:20

For through the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

it came to pass in Jerusalem
<03389>

and Judah
<03063>_,

until he had cast them out
<07993> (8689)

from his presence
<06440>_,

that Zedekiah
<06667>

rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_.

25:1

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] Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came
<0935> (8804)_,

he, and all his host
<02428>_,

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

against it; and they built
<01129> (8799)

forts
<01785>

against it round about
<05439>_.

25:2

And the city
<05892>

was besieged
<0935> (8799) <04692>

unto the eleventh
<06249> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Zedekiah
<06667>_.

25:3

And on the ninth
<08672>

[day] of the [fourth] month
<02320>

the famine
<07458>

prevailed
<02388> (8799)

in the city
<05892>_,

and there was no bread
<03899>

for the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>_.

25:4

And the city
<05892>

was broken up
<01234> (8735)_,

and all the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>

[fled] by night
<03915>

by the way
<01870>

of the gate
<08179>

between two walls
<02346>_,

which [is] by the king's
<04428>

garden
<01588>_:

(now the Chaldees
<03778>

[were] against the city
<05892>

round about
<05439>:)

and [the king] went
<03212> (8799)

the way
<01870>

toward the plain
<06160>_.

25:5

And the army
<02428>

of the Chaldees
<03778>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

the king
<04428>_,

and overtook
<05381> (8686)

him in the plains
<06160>

of Jericho
<03405>_:

and all his army
<02428>

were scattered
<06327> (8738)

from him.

25:6

So they took
<08610> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and brought him up
<05927> (8686)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

to Riblah
<07247>_;

and they gave
<01696> (8762)

judgment
<04941>

upon him. {gave...: Heb. spake judgment with him}

25:7

And they slew
<07819> (8804)

the sons
<01121>

of Zedekiah
<06667>

before his eyes
<05869>_,

and put out
<05786> (8765)

the eyes
<05869>

of Zedekiah
<06667>_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him with fetters
<05178>

of brass
<05178>_,

and carried
<0935> (8686)

him to Babylon
<0894>_.

{put...: Heb. made blind}

25:8

And in the fifth
<02549>

month
<02320>_,

on the seventh
<07651>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

which [is] the nineteenth
<08672> <06240> <08141>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

came
<0935> (8804)

Nebuzaradan
<05018>_,

captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>_,

a servant
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:

{captain...: or, chief marshal}

25:9

And he burnt
<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 every great
<01419>

[man's] house
<01004>

burnt
<08313> (8804)

he with fire
<0784>_.

25:10

And all the army
<02428>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

that [were with] the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>_,

brake down
<05422> (8804)

the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

round about
<05439>_.

25:11

Now the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

[that were] left
<07604> (8737)

in the city
<05892>_,

and the fugitives
<05307> (8802)

that fell away
<05307> (8804)

to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

with the remnant
<03499>

of the multitude
<01995>_,

did Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

carry away
<01540> (8689)_.

{fugitives: Heb. fallen away}

25:12

But the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

left
<07604> (8689)

of the poor
<01803>

of the land
<0776>

[to be] vinedressers
<03755>

and husbandmen
<03009> (8802) (8675) <01461> (8801)_.

25:13

And 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>_,

did the Chaldees
<03778>

break in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,

and carried
<05375> (8799)

the brass
<05178>

of them to Babylon
<0894>_.

25:14

And the pots
<05518>_,

<03257>_,

and the snuffers
<04212>_,

and the spoons
<03709>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

of brass
<05178>

wherewith they ministered
<08334> (8762)_,

took they away

<02091>_,

[in] gold
<02091>_,

and of silver
<03701>_,

[in] silver
<03701>_,

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

took away
<03947> (8804)_.

25:16

The two
<08147>

pillars
<05982>_,

one

<03220>_,

and the bases
<04350>

which Solomon
<08010>

had made
<06213> (8804)

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

the brass
<05178>

of all these vessels
<03627>

was without
<03808>

weight
<04948>_.

{one...: Heb. the one sea}

25:17

The height
<06967>

of the one

<05982>

[was] eighteen

cubits
<0520>_,

and the chapiter
<03805>

upon it [was] brass

<07639>_,

and pomegranates
<07416>

upon the chapiter
<03805>

round about
<05439>_,

all of brass
<05178>_:

and like unto these had the second
<08145>

pillar
<05982>

with wreathen work
<07639>_.

25:18

And the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

took
<03947> (8799)

Seraiah
<08304>

the chief
<07218>

priest
<03548>_,

and Zephaniah
<06846>

the second

<03548>_,

and the three
<07969>

keepers
<08104> (8802)

of the door
<05592>_:

{door: Heb. threshold}

25:19

And out of the city
<05892>

he took
<03947> (8804)

an
<0259>

officer
<05631>

that was set
<06496>

over the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

and five
<02568>

men
<0582>

of them that were
<07200> (8802)

in the king's
<04428>

presence
<06440>_,

which were found
<04672> (8738)

in the city
<05892>_,

and the principal
<08269>

scribe
<05608> (8802)

of the host
<06635>_,

which 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 city
<05892>_:

{officer: or, eunuch} {were in...: Heb. saw the king's face} {principal...: or, scribe of the captain of the host}

25:20

And Nebuzaradan
<05018>

captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

took
<03947> (8799)

these, and brought
<03212> (8686)

them to the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

to Riblah
<07247>_:

25:21

And the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them, and slew
<04191> (8686)

them at Riblah
<07247>

in the land
<0776>

of Hamath
<02574>_.

So Judah
<03063>

was carried away

out of their land
<0127>_.

And [as for] the people
<05971>

that remained

of Judah
<03063>_,

whom Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had left
<07604> (8689)_,

even over them he made Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

ruler
<06485> (8686)_.

25:23

And when all the captains
<08269>

of the armies
<02428>_,

they and their men
<0582>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

that the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

had made Gedaliah
<01436>

governor
<06485> (8689)_,

there came
<0935> (8799)

to Gedaliah
<01436>

to Mizpah
<04709>_,

even Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

and Johanan
<03110>

the son
<01121>

of Careah
<07143>_,

and Seraiah
<08304>

the son
<01121>

of Tanhumeth
<08576>

the Netophathite
<05200>_,

and Jaazaniah
<02970>

the son
<01121>

of a Maachathite
<04602>_,

they and their men
<0582>_.

25:24

And Gedaliah
<01436>

sware
<07650> (8735)

to them, and to their men
<0582>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not to be the servants
<05650>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_:

dwell
<03427> (8798)

in the land
<0776>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_;

and it shall be well
<03190> (8799)

with you.

25:25

But it came to pass in the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_,

that Ishmael
<03458>

the son
<01121>

of Nethaniah
<05418>_,

the son
<01121>

of Elishama
<0476>_,

of the seed
<02233>

royal
<04410>_,

came
<0935> (8804)_,

and ten
<06235>

men
<0582>

with him, and smote
<05221> (8686)

Gedaliah
<01436>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_,

and the Jews
<03064>

and the Chaldees
<03778>

that were with him at Mizpah
<04709>_.

{royal: Heb. of the kingdom}

25:26

And all the people
<05971>_,

both small
<06996>

and great
<01419>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the armies
<02428>_,

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Egypt
<04714>_:

for they were afraid
<03372> (8804)

of
<06440>

the Chaldees
<03778>_.

25:27

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>_,

on the seven
<07651>

and twentieth
<06242>

[day] of the month
<02320>_,

[that] Evilmerodach
<0192>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

in the year
<08141>

that he began to reign
<04427> (8800)

did lift up
<05375> (8804)

the head
<07218>

of Jehoiachin
<03078>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

out of prison
<01004> <03608>_;

25:28

And he spake
<01696> (8762)

kindly
<02896>

to him, and set
<05414> (8799)

his throne
<03678>

above the throne
<03678>

of the kings
<04428>

that [were] with him in Babylon
<0894>_;

{kindly...: Heb. good things with him}

25:29

And changed
<08132> (8765)

his prison
<03608>

garments
<0899>_:

and he did eat
<0398> (8804)

bread
<03899>

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

him all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.

25:30

And his allowance
<0737>

[was] a continual
<08548>

allowance
<0737>

given
<05414> (8738)

him of the king
<04428>_,

a daily
<03117> <03117>

rate
<01697>

for every day
<03117>_,

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.
