12:025:006 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of
Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
12:025:007 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put
out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass,
and carried him to Babylon.
12:025:008 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which
is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king
of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
12:025:009 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and
all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt
he with fire.
12:025:010 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain
of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
12:025:011 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the
fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the
remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the
guard carry away.
12:025:012 But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of
the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

12:025:014 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the
spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they

without weight.
12:025:017 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the
chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter
three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the
chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had

12:025:018 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest,
and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the
door:
12:025:019 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the
men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's
