Jeremiah 52:1-22

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)_.

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

the captain

and twelve
<08147> <06240>

brasen
<05178>

bulls
<01241>

that [were] under the bases
<04350>_,

which king

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>

<05982>

[was] eighteen
