Jeremiah 52:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
2 He did what displeased the LORD just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 What follows is a record of what happened to Jerusalem and Judah because of the LORD's anger when he drove them out of his sight. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came against Jerusalem with his whole army and set up camp outside it. They built siege ramps all around it. He arrived on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year that Zedekiah ruled over Judah.
5 The city remained under siege until Zedekiah's eleventh year.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city was so severe the residents had no food.
7 They broke through the city walls, and all the soldiers tried to escape. They left the city during the night. They went through the gate between the two walls that is near the king's garden. (The Babylonians had the city surrounded.) Then they headed for the Jordan Valley.
8 But the Babylonian army chased after the king. They caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and his entire army deserted him.
9 They captured him and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the territory of Hamath and he passed sentence on him there.
10 The king of Babylon had Zedekiah's sons put to death while Zedekiah was forced to watch. He also had all the nobles of Judah put to death there at Riblah.
11 He had Zedekiah's eyes put out and had him bound in chains. Then the king of Babylon had him led off to Babylon and he was imprisoned there until the day he died.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard who served the king of Babylon, arrived in Jerusalem.
13 He burned down the LORD's temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.
14 The whole Babylonian army that came with the captain of the royal guard tore down the walls that surrounded Jerusalem.
15 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, took into exile some of the poor, the rest of the people who remained in the city, those who had deserted to him, and the rest of the craftsmen.
16 But he left behind some of the poor and gave them fields and vineyards.
17 The Babylonians broke the two bronze pillars in the temple of the LORD, as well as the movable stands and the large bronze basin called the "The Sea." They took all the bronze to Babylon.
18 They also took the pots, shovels, trimming shears, basins, pans, and all the bronze utensils used by the priests.
19 The captain of the royal guard took the gold and silver bowls, censers, basins, pots, lampstands, pans, and vessels.
20 The bronze of the items that King Solomon made for the LORD's temple (including the two pillars, the large bronze basin called "The Sea," the twelve bronze bulls under "The Sea," and the movable stands) was too heavy to be weighed.
21 Each of the pillars was about 27 feet high, about 18 feet in circumference, three inches thick, and hollow.
22 The bronze top of one pillar was about seven and one-half feet high and had bronze latticework and pomegranate-shaped ornaments all around it. The second pillar with its pomegranate-shaped ornaments was like it.
23 There were ninety-six pomegranate-shaped ornaments on the sides; in all there were one hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments over the latticework that went around it.
24 The captain of the royal guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest who was second in rank, and the three doorkeepers.
25 From the city he took an official who was in charge of the soldiers, seven of the king's advisers who were discovered in the city, an official army secretary who drafted citizens for military service, and sixty citizens who were discovered in the middle of the city.
26 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 The king of Babylon ordered them to be executed at Riblah in the territory of Hamath. So Judah was taken into exile away from its land.
28 Here is the official record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar carried into exile: In the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
29 in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30 in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, carried into exile 745 Judeans. In all 4,600 people went into exile.
31 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Jehoiachin of Judah, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month, Evil-Merodach, in the first year of his reign, pardoned King Jehoiachin of Judah and released him from prison.
32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prestigious position than the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Jehoiachin took off his prison clothes and ate daily in the king's presence for the rest of his life.
34 He was given daily provisions by the king of Babylon for the rest of his life until the day he died.
1 Zedekiah H6667 was one H259 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign, H4427 and he reigned H4427 eleven H6259 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem. H3389 And his mother's H517 name H8034 was Hamutal H2537 the daughter H1323 of Jeremiah H3414 of Libnah H4480 H3841 .
2 And he did H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the eyes H5869 of the LORD, H3068 according to all H3605 that H834 Jehoiakim H3079 had done. H6213
3 For H3588 through H5921 the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 it came to pass H1961 in Jerusalem H3389 and Judah, H3063 till H5704 he had cast them out H7993 H853 from H4480 H5921 his presence, H6440 that Zedekiah H6667 rebelled H4775 against the king H4428 of Babylon. H894
4 And it came to pass H1961 in the ninth H8671 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 in the tenth H6224 month, H2320 in the tenth H6218 day of the month, H2320 that Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came, H935 he H1931 and all H3605 his army, H2428 against H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 and pitched H2583 against H5921 it , and built H1129 forts H1785 against H5921 it round about. H5439
5 So the city H5892 was besieged H935 H4692 unto H5704 the eleventh H6249 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Zedekiah. H6667
6 And in the fourth H7243 month, H2320 in the ninth H8672 day of the month, H2320 the famine H7458 was sore H2388 in the city, H5892 so that there was H1961 no H3808 bread H3899 for the people H5971 of the land. H776
7 Then the city H5892 was broken up, H1234 and all H3605 the men H376 of war H4421 fled, H1272 and went forth H3318 out of the city H4480 H5892 by night H3915 by the way H1870 of the gate H8179 between H996 the two walls, H2346 which H834 was by H5921 the king's H4428 garden; H1588 (now the Chaldeans H3778 were by H5921 the city H5892 round about: H5439 ) and they went H1980 by the way H1870 of the plain. H6160
8 But the army H2428 of the Chaldeans H3778 pursued H7291 after H310 the king, H4428 and overtook H5381 H853 Zedekiah H6667 in the plains H6160 of Jericho; H3405 and all H3605 his army H2428 was scattered H6327 from H4480 H5921 him.
9 Then they took H8610 H853 the king, H4428 and carried him up H5927 unto H413 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 to Riblah H7247 in the land H776 of Hamath; H2574 where he gave H1696 judgment H4941 upon H854 him.
10 And the king H4428 of Babylon H894 slew H7819 H853 the sons H1121 of Zedekiah H6667 before his eyes: H5869 he slew H7819 also H1571 H853 all H3605 the princes H8269 of Judah H3063 in Riblah. H7247
11 Then he put out H5786 the eyes H5869 of Zedekiah; H6667 and the king H4428 of Babylon H894 bound H631 him in chains, H5178 and carried H935 him to Babylon, H894 and put H5414 him in prison H1004 H6486 till H5704 the day H3117 of his death. H4194
12 Now in the fifth H2549 month, H2320 in the tenth H6218 day of the month, H2320 which H1931 was the nineteenth H8672 H6240 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon, H894 came H935 Nebuzaradan, H5018 captain H7227 of the guard, H2876 which served H5975 H6440 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 into Jerusalem, H3389
13 And burned H8313 H853 the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the king's H4428 house; H1004 and all H3605 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and all H3605 the houses H1004 of the great H1419 men , burned H8313 he with fire: H784
14 And all H3605 the army H2428 of the Chaldeans, H3778 that H834 were with H854 the captain H7227 of the guard, H2876 broke down H5422 all H3605 the walls H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 round about. H5439
15 Then Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 carried away captive H1540 certain of the poor H4480 H1803 of the people, H5971 and the residue H3499 of the people H5971 that remained H7604 in the city, H5892 and those that fell away, H5307 that H834 fell H5307 to H413 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and the rest H3499 of the multitude. H527
16 But Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 left H7604 certain of the poor H4480 H1803 of the land H776 for vinedressers H3755 and for husbandmen. H3009
17 Also the pillars H5982 of brass H5178 that H834 were in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the bases, H4350 and the brazen H5178 sea H3220 that H834 was in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 the Chaldeans H3778 broke, H7665 and carried H5375 H853 all H3605 the brass H5178 of them to Babylon. H894
18 The caldrons H5518 also , and the shovels, H3257 and the snuffers, H4212 and the bowls, H4219 and the spoons, H3709 and all H3605 the vessels H3627 of brass H5178 wherewith H834 they ministered, H8334 took they away. H3947
19 And the basins, H5592 and the firepans, H4289 and the bowls, H4219 and the caldrons, H5518 and the candlesticks, H4501 and the spoons, H3709 and the cups; H4518 that which H834 was of gold H2091 in gold, H2091 and that which H834 was of silver H3701 in silver, H3701 took H3947 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 away.
20 The two H8147 pillars, H5982 one H259 sea, H3220 and twelve H8147 H6240 brazen H5178 bulls H1241 that H834 were under H8478 the bases, H4350 which H834 king H4428 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 in the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 the brass H5178 of all H3605 these H428 vessels H3627 was H1961 without H3808 weight. H4948
21 And concerning the pillars, H5982 the height H6967 of one H259 pillar H5982 was eighteen H8083 H6240 cubits; H520 and a fillet H2339 of twelve H8147 H6240 cubits H520 did compass H5437 it ; and the thickness H5672 thereof was four H702 fingers: H676 it was hollow. H5014
22 And a chapiter H3805 of brass H5178 was upon H5921 it ; and the height H6967 of one H259 chapiter H3805 was five H2568 cubits, H520 with network H7639 and pomegranates H7416 upon H5921 the chapiters H3805 round about, H5439 all H3605 of brass. H5178 The second H8145 pillar H5982 also and the pomegranates H7416 were like unto these. H428
23 And there were H1961 ninety H8673 and six H8337 pomegranates H7416 on a side; H7307 and all H3605 the pomegranates H7416 upon H5921 the network H7639 were a hundred H3967 round about. H5439
24 And the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 took H3947 H853 Seraiah H8304 the chief H7218 priest, H3548 and Zephaniah H6846 the second H4932 priest, H3548 and the three H7969 keepers H8104 of the door: H5592
25 He took H3947 also out of H4480 the city H5892 a H259 eunuch, H5631 which H834 had H1961 the charge H6496 of H5921 the men H376 of war; H4421 and seven H7651 men H376 of them that were near H4480 H7200 the king's H4428 person, H6440 which H834 were found H4672 in the city; H5892 and the principal H8269 scribe H5608 of the host, H6635 who mustered H6633 H853 the people H5971 of the land; H776 and threescore H8346 men H376 of the people H4480 H5971 of the land, H776 that were found H4672 in the midst H8432 of the city. H5892
26 So Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 took H3947 them , and brought H1980 them to H413 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 to Riblah. H7247
27 And the king H4428 of Babylon H894 smote H5221 them , and put them to death H4191 in Riblah H7247 in the land H776 of Hamath. H2574 Thus Judah H3063 was carried away captive H1540 out of H4480 H5921 his own land. H127
28 This H2088 is the people H5971 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 carried away captive: H1540 in the seventh H7651 year H8141 three H7969 thousand H505 Jews H3064 and three H7969 and twenty: H6242
29 In the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 he carried away captive H1540 from Jerusalem H4480 H3389 eight H8083 hundred H3967 thirty H7970 and two H8147 persons: H5315
30 In the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 Nebuzaradan H5018 the captain H7227 of the guard H2876 carried away captive H1540 of the Jews H3064 seven H7651 hundred H3967 forty H705 and five H2568 persons: H5315 all H3605 the persons H5315 were four H702 thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred. H3967
31 And it came to pass H1961 in the seven H7651 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of the captivity H1546 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, H2320 in the five H2568 and twentieth H6242 day of the month, H2320 that Evil- H192 merodach king H4428 of Babylon H894 in the first year H8141 of his reign H4438 lifted up the head H7218 of Jehoiachin H3078 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 and brought him forth H3318 H853 out of prison H4480 H1004, H3628
32 And spoke H1696 kindly H2896 unto H854 him , and set H5414 H853 his throne H3678 above H4480 H4605 the throne H3678 of the kings H4428 that H834 were with H854 him in Babylon, H894
33 And changed H8138 H853 his prison H3608 garments: H899 and he did continually H8548 eat H398 bread H3899 before H6440 him all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416
34 And for his diet, H737 there was a continual H8548 diet H737 given H5414 him of H4480 H854 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 every day H3117 H3117 a portion H1697 until H5704 the day H3117 of his death, H4194 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416
