II - Chapter 25

1And in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar moved against Yerushalayim with his whole army. He besieged it; and they built towers against it all around.

2The city continued in a state of siege until the eleventh year of King Tzidkiyahu.

3By the ninth day [of the fourth month] the famine had become acute in the city; there was no food left for the common people.

4Then [the wall of] the city was breached. All the soldiers [left the city] by night through the gate between the double walls, which is near the king's garden—the Chaldeans were all around the city; and [the king] set out for the Arabah.

5But the Chaldean troops pursued the king, and they overtook him in the steppes of Yericho as his entire force left him and scattered.

6They captured the king and brought him before the king of Babylon at Riblah; and they put him on trial.

7They slaughtered Tzidkiyahu's sons before his eyes; then Tzidkiyahu's eyes were put out. He was chained in bronze fetters and he was brought to Babylon.

8On the seventh day of the fifth month—that was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon—Nebuzaradan, the chief of the guards, an officer of the king of Babylon, came to Yerushalayim.

9He burned the House of Hashem, the king's palace, and all the houses of Yerushalayim; he burned down the house of every notable person.

10The entire Chaldean force that was with the chief of the guard tore down the walls of Yerushalayim on every side.

11The remnant of the people that was left in the city, the defectors who had gone over to the king of Babylon—and the remnant of the population—were taken into exile by Nebuzaradan, the chief of the guards.

12But some of the poorest in the land were left by the chief of the guards, to be vinedressers and field hands.

13The Chaldeans broke up the bronze columns of the House of Hashem, the stands, and the bronze tank that was in the House of Hashem; and they carried the bronze away to Babylon.

16The two columns, the one tank, and the stands that Shlomo provided for the House of Hashem—all these objects contained bronze beyond weighing.

17The one column was eighteen amot high. It had a bronze capital above it; the height of the capital was three amot, and there was a meshwork [decorated] with pomegranates about the capital, all made of bronze. And the like was true of the other column with its meshwork.

18The chief of the guards also took Seraya, the chief Kohen, Tzefanya, the deputy Kohen, and the three guardians of the threshold.

19And from the city he took a eunuch who was in command of the soldiers; five royal privy councillors who were present in the city; the scribe of the army commander, who was in charge of mustering the people of the land; and sixty of the common people who were inside the city.

22King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon put Gedalya son of Achikam son of Shafan in charge of the people whom he left in the land of Yehuda.

23When the officers of the troops and their men heard that the king of Babylon had put Gedalya in charge, they came to Gedalya at Mitzpa with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Yochanan son of Kareah, Seraya son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachite, together with their men.

24Gedalya reassured them and their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.”

25In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, who was of royal descent, came with ten men, and they struck down Gedalya and he died; [they also killed] the Judeans and the Chaldeans who were present with him at Mitzpa.

27In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of King Yehoyachin of Yehuda, on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month, King Evilmerodach of Babylon, in the year he became king, took note of King Yehoyachin of Yehuda and released him from prison.
