Because the LORD’s wrath was upon Jerusalem and Judah until He had cast them from before Him, and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his host came against Jerusalem and encamped against it, and built siegeworks around it.

The city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

On the ninth day of the month the famine became severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

Then the city was breached, and all the men of war fled by night through the gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden—though the Chaldeans were all around the city—and they went toward the plain.

The Chaldean army pursued after the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his force was scattered from him.

They seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they pronounced judgment on him.

They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; they put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon.

In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month—(it was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon)—Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, the king of Babylon’s servant, came to Jerusalem.

He burned the house of the LORD, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned with fire. And the whole Chaldean force that was with the captain of the guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem all around.

Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile to Babylon the remnant of the people who were left in the city, and the deserters who had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude. But of the land’s poorest he left certain of them to be vinedressers and fieldworkers.

The Chaldeans broke in pieces the bronze pillars of the house of the LORD, and the stands, and the bronze sea that was in the house of the LORD, and they took the bronze to Babylon.

They took the basins, the firepans, the bowls, the censers, and all the bronze utensils that were used in the service.

The captain of the guard took away the basins and the shelving and the other vessels—whatever was gold he took as gold, and whatever was silver he took as silver.

The weight of the bronze of the two pillars, the one sea, and the stands that Solomon made for the house of the LORD could not be weighed.

The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and on it was a bronze capital whose height was three cubits; there was a latticework and pomegranates round about the capital, all of bronze—the same for the second pillar.

Nebuzaradan took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold.

From the city he took one eunuch who had charge of the officers of the army, and five men who were in the king’s household found in the city, and the scribe who was commander of the army and who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.

Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and went to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

The king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath; and Judah was carried away from its land.

The people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan.

All the captains of the forces and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah; they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ismael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, and their men.

Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.” But in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah, of the royal line, and ten men with him came and struck Gedaliah and killed him, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

Then all the people, from the least to the greatest, and the captains of the forces, arose and went to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
