<06667>

king
<04428>

Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

and all his army
<02428>

[And] in the eleventh
<06249> <06240>

in the fourth

the ninth
<08672>

[day] of the month

And all the princes
<08269>

of the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came in
<0935> (8799)_,

and sat

in the middle
<08432>

gate
<08179>_,

[even] Nergalsharezer

39:4

And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah
<06667>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

saw
<07200> (8804)

them, and all the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

then they fled
<01272> (8799)_,

and went forth
<03318> (8799)

out of the city
<05892>

by night
<03915>_,

by the way
<01870>

of the king's
<04428>

garden
<01588>_,

by the gate
<08179>

betwixt the two walls
<02346>_:

and he went out
<03318> (8799)

the way
<01870>

of the plain
<06160>_.

39:5

But the Chaldeans
<03778>_'

army
<02428>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

them, and overtook
<05381> (8686)

Zedekiah
<06667>

in the plains
<06160>

of Jericho
<03405>_:

and when they had taken
<03947> (8799)

him, they brought him up
<05927> (8686)

to Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

to Riblah
<07247>

in the land
<0776>

of Hamath
<02574>_,

where he gave
<01696> (8762)

judgment
<04941>

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

39:6

Then the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

slew
<07819> (8799)

the sons
<01121>

of Zedekiah
<06667>

in Riblah
<07247>

before his eyes
<05869>_:

also the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

slew
<07819> (8804)

all the nobles
<02715>

of Judah
<03063>_.

39:7

Moreover he put out
<05786> (8765)

Zedekiah's
<06667>

eyes
<05869>_,

and bound
<0631> (8799)

him with chains
<05178>_,

to carry
<0935> (8687)

him to Babylon
<0894>_.

{with...: Heb. with two brasen chains, or, fetters}

39:8

And the Chaldeans
<03778>

burned
<08313> (8804)

the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and the houses
<01004>

of the people
<05971>_,

with fire
<0784>_,

and brake down
<05422> (8804)

the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

39:9

Then Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

carried away captive
<01540> (8689)

into Babylon
<0894>

the remnant
<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 him, with the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

that remained
<07604> (8737)_.

{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}

39:10

But Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

left
<07604> (8689)

of the poor
<01800>

of the people
<05971>_,

which had nothing
<03972>_,

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them vineyards
<03754>

and fields
<03010>

at the same time
<03117>_.

{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen} {at the...: Heb. in that day}

39:11

Now Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

gave charge
<06680> (8762)

concerning Jeremiah
<03414>

to
<03027>

Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{to: Heb. by the hand of} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}

39:12

Take
<03947> (8798)

him, and look well
<05869> <07760> (8798)

to him, and do
<06213> (8799)

him no harm
<03972> <07451>_;

but do
<06213> (8798)

unto him even as he shall say
<01696> (8762)

unto thee. {look...: Heb. set thine eyes upon him}

39:13

So Nebuzaradan
<05018>

the captain
<07227>

of the guard
<02876>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and Nebushasban
<05021>_,

Rabsaris
<07249>_,

and Nergalsharezer
<05371>_,

Rabmag
<07248>_,

and all the king
<04428>

of Babylon's
<0894>

princes
<07227>_;

{captain...: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}

39:14

Even they sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Jeremiah
<03414>

out of the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>_,

and committed
<05414> (8799)

him unto Gedaliah
<01436>

the son
<01121>

of Ahikam
<0296>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

that he should carry
<03318> (8687)

him home
<01004>_:

so he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_.

39:15

Now the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto Jeremiah
<03414>_,

while he was shut up
<06113> (8803)

in the court
<02691>

of the prison
<04307>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,
