the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried
him to Babylon.
025:008 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month,
which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar,
king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard,
a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
025:009 He burnt the house of Yahweh, and the king's house;
and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house,
burnt he with fire.
025:010 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were [with] the captain
of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
025:011 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, did Nebuzaradan the captain
of the guard carry away captive.
025:012 But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land
to work the vineyards and fields.
025:013 The pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh,
and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh,
did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass
of them to Babylon.
025:014 The pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons,
and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered,
took they away.
025:015 The fire pans, and the basins, that which was of gold,
in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain
of the guard took away.
025:016 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had
made for the house of Yahweh, the brass of all these vessels
was without weight.
025:017 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital
of brass was on it; and the height of the capital was
three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital
round about, all of brass: and like to these had the second
pillar with network.
025:018 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest,
and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers
of the threshold:
025:019 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men
of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face,
who were found in the city; and the scribe, 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 city.
025:020 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought
them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
025:021 The 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.
025:022 As for the people who were left in the land of Judah,
whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them
he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
