them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
052:027 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.
052:028 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive:
in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;
052:029 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away
captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
052:030 in the three and twentieth 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.
052:031 It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity
of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month,
in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach
king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up
the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth
out of prison;
052:032 and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne
of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
052:033 and changed his prison garments. [Jehoiachin] ate bread
before him continually all the days of his life:
052:034 and 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.
