1Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 3For through Yahweh’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 4In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about. 5So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 6In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. 7Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city all around;) and they went toward the Arabah. 8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 9Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him. 10The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. 11He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death. 12Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem: 13and he burned Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire. 14All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around. 15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude. 16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers. 17The Chaldeans broke the pillars of brass that were in Yahweh’s house, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house in pieces, and carried all of their brass to Babylon. 18They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered. 19The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver. 20They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house. The brass of all these vessels was without weight. 21As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow. 22A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates. 23There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around. 24The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold: 25and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city. 26Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. 27The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land. 28This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews; 29in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons; 30in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred. 31In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison; 32and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon, 33and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life: 34and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

1Zedekia was een en twintig jaren oud, als hij koning werd, en hij regeerde elf jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Hamutal, een dochter van Jeremia, van Libna. 2En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, naar alles, wat Jojakim gedaan had. 3Want het geschiedde, om den toorn des HEEREN tegen Jeruzalem en Juda, totdat Hij hen van Zijn aangezicht weggeworpen had; en Zedekia rebelleerde tegen den koning van Babel. 4En het geschiedde in het negende jaar zijner regering, in de tiende maand, op den tienden der maand, dat Nebukadrezar, de koning van Babel, kwam tegen Jeruzalem, hij en zijn ganse heir, en zij legerden zich tegen haar, en zij bouwden tegen haar sterkten rondom. 5Alzo kwam de stad in belegering, tot in het elfde jaar van den koning Zedekia. 6In de vierde maand, op den negenden der maand, als de honger in de stad sterk werd, en het volk des lands geen brood had; 7Toen werd de stad doorgebroken, en al de krijgslieden vloden, en trokken uit des nachts, uit de stad, door den weg der poort tussen de twee muren, die aan des konings hof waren (de Chaldeen nu waren tegen de stad rondom), en zij togen door den weg des vlakken velds. 8Doch het heir der Chaldeen jaagde den koning na, en zij achterhaalden Zedekia in de vlakke velden van Jericho; en al zijn heir werd van bij hem verstrooid. 9Zij dan grepen den koning, en voerden hem opwaarts tot den koning van Babel naar Ribla, in het land van Hamath; die sprak oordelen tegen hem. 10En de koning van Babel slachtte de zonen van Zedekia voor zijn ogen; en hij slachtte ook al de vorsten van Juda te Ribla. 11En hij verblindde de ogen van Zedekia, en hij bond hem met twee koperen ketenen; alzo bracht hem de koning van Babel naar Babel, en stelde hem in het gevangenhuis, tot den dag zijns doods toe. 12Daarna, in de vijfde maand, op den tienden der maand (dit jaar was het negentiende jaar van den koning Nebukadrezar, den koning van Babel), als Nebuzaradan, de overste der trawanten, die voor het aangezicht des konings van Babel stond, te Jeruzalem gekomen was; 13Zo verbrandde hij het huis des HEEREN en het huis des konings; mitsgaders alle huizen van Jeruzalem en alle huizen der groten verbrandde hij met vuur. 14En het ganse heir der Chaldeen, dat met den overste der trawanten was, brak alle muren van Jeruzalem rondom af. 15Van de armsten nu des volks en het overige des volks, die in de stad overgelaten waren, en de afvalligen, die tot den koning van Babel gevallen waren, en het overige der menigte, voerde Nebuzaradan, de overste der trawanten, gevankelijk weg. 16Maar van de armsten des lands liet Nebuzaradan, de overste der trawanten, enigen over tot wijngaardeniers en tot akkerlieden. 17Verder braken de Chaldeen de koperen pilaren, die in het huis des HEEREN waren, en de stellingen, en de koperen zee, die in het huis des HEEREN was; en zij voerden al het koper daarvan naar Babel. 18Ook namen zij de potten en de schoffelen, en de gaffelen, en de sprengbekkens, en de rookschalen, en al de koperen vaten, waar men den dienst mede deed. 19En de overste der trawanten nam weg de schalen, en de wierookvaten, en de sprengbekkens, en de potten, en de kandelaars, en de rookschalen, en de kroezen; wat geheel goud, en wat geheel zilver was. 20De twee pilaren, de ene zee, en de twaalf koperen runderen, die in de plaats der stellingen waren, die de koning Salomo voor het huis des HEEREN gemaakt had; het koper daarvan, te weten van al deze vaten, was zonder gewicht. 21Aangaande de pilaren, achttien ellen was de hoogte eens pilaars, en een draad van twaalf ellen omving hem; en zijn dikte was vier vingeren, en hij was hol. 22En het kapiteel daarop was koper, en de hoogte des enen kapiteels was vijf ellen, en een net, en granaatappelen op het kapiteel rondom, alles koper; en dezen gelijk had de andere pilaar, met granaatappelen. 23En de granaatappelen waren zes en negentig, gezet naar den wind; alle granaatappelen waren honderd, over het net rondom. 24Ook nam de overste der trawanten Seraja, den hoofdpriester, en Zefanja, den tweeden priester, en de drie dorpelbewaarders. 25En uit de stad nam hij een hoveling, die over de krijgslieden gesteld was, en zeven mannen uit degenen, die des konings aangezicht zagen, die in de stad gevonden werden, mitsgaders den oversten schrijver des heirs, die het volk des lands ten oorlog opschreef, en zestig mannen van het volk des lands, die in het midden der stad gevonden werden. 26Als Nebuzaradan, de overste der trawanten, dezen genomen had, zo bracht hij hen tot den koning van Babel naar Ribla. 27En de koning van Babel sloeg hen en doodde hen te Ribla, in het land van Hamath. Alzo werd Juda uit zijn land gevankelijk weggevoerd. 28Dit is het volk, dat Nebukadrezar gevankelijk heeft weggevoerd; in het zevende jaar, drie duizend drie en twintig Joden; 29In het achttiende jaar van Nebukadrezar, voerde hij gevankelijk weg achthonderd twee en dertig zielen uit Jeruzalem; 30In het drie en twintigste jaar van Nebukadrezar voerde Nebuzaradan, de overste der trawanten, gevankelijk weg van de Joden zevenhonderd vijf en veertig zielen. Alle zielen zijn vier duizend en zeshonderd. 31Het geschiedde daarna, in het zeven en dertigste jaar der gevankelijke wegvoering van Jojachin, den koning van Juda, in de twaalfde maand, op den vijf en twintigsten der maand, dat Evilmerodach, de koning van Babel, in het eerste jaar zijns koninkrijks, het hoofd van Jojachin, den koning van Juda, verhief, en hem uit het gevangenhuis uitbracht. 32En hij sprak vriendelijk met hem, en stelde zijn stoel boven den stoel der koningen, die bij hem te Babel waren. 33En hij veranderde de klederen zijner gevangenis; en hij at geduriglijk brood voor zijn aangezicht, al de dagen zijns levens. 34En aangaande zijn tering, een gedurige tering werd hem van den koning van Babel gegeven, elk dagelijks bestemde deel op zijn dag, tot op den dag zijns doods, al de dagen zijns levens.
