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)

<07227>

of the guard
<02876>_,

a servant
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

<0894>_,

unto Jerusalem
<03389>_:

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>

he with fire
<0784>_.

25:10

And all the army
<02428>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

that [were with] the captain
<07227>

brake down
<05422> (8804)

the walls
<02346>

Now the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

[that were] left
<07604> (8737)

and the fugitives
<05307> (8802)

that fell away
<05307> (8804)

<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

left
<07604> (8689)

<0776>

[to be] vinedressers
<03755>
