2 Kings 25

KJV

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the ninth⁸⁶⁷¹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign,⁴⁴²⁷ in the tenth⁶²²⁴ month,²³²⁰ in the tenth⁶²¹⁸ day of the month,²³²⁰ that Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ came,⁹³⁵ he,¹⁹³¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his host,²⁴²⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and pitched²⁵⁸³ against⁵⁹²¹ it; and they built¹¹²⁹ forts¹⁷⁸⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ it round about.⁵⁴³⁹

2  And the city⁵⁸⁹² was besieged^{935 4692} unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the eleventh^{6249 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Zedekiah.⁶⁶⁶⁷

3  And on the ninth⁸⁶⁷² day of the fourth month²³²⁰ the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ prevailed²³⁸⁸ in the city,⁵⁸⁹² and there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

4  And the city⁵⁸⁹² was broken up,¹²³⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of war⁴⁴²¹ fled by night³⁹¹⁵ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ between⁹⁹⁶ two walls,²³⁴⁶ which⁸³⁴ is by⁵⁹²¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ garden:¹⁵⁸⁸ (now the Chaldees³⁷⁷⁸ were against⁵⁹²¹ the city⁵⁸⁹² round about:)⁵⁴³⁹ and the king went¹⁹⁸⁰ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ toward the plain.⁶¹⁶⁰

5  And the army²⁴²⁸ of the Chaldees³⁷⁷⁸ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and overtook⁵³⁸¹ him in the plains⁶¹⁶⁰ of Jericho:³⁴⁰⁵ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his army²⁴²⁸ were scattered⁶³²⁷ from^{4480 5921} him.

6  So they took^{8610 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and brought him up^{5927 853} to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ to Riblah;⁷²⁴⁷ and they gave¹⁶⁹⁶ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ upon⁸⁵⁴ him.

7  And they slew⁷⁸¹⁹ the sons¹¹²¹ of Zedekiah⁶⁶⁶⁷ before his eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and put out^{5786 853} the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of Zedekiah,⁶⁶⁶⁷ and bound⁶³¹ him with fetters of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and carried⁹³⁵ him to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

8  And in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ month,²³²⁰ on the seventh⁷⁶⁵¹ day of the month,²³²⁰ which¹⁹³¹ is the nineteenth^{8672 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ came⁹³⁵ Nebuzaradan,⁵⁰¹⁸ captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard,²⁸⁷⁶ a servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ unto Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹

9  And he burnt^{8313 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and every³⁶⁰⁵ great¹⁴¹⁹ man's house¹⁰⁰⁴ burnt⁸³¹³ he with fire.⁷⁸⁴

10  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the army²⁴²⁸ of the Chaldees,³⁷⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ were with the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard,²⁸⁷⁶ broke down⁵⁴²² the walls²³⁴⁶ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ round about.⁵⁴³⁹

11  Now the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the city,⁵⁸⁹² and the fugitives⁵³⁰⁷ that⁸³⁴ fell away⁵³⁰⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ with the remnant³⁴⁹⁹ of the multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ did Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ carry away.¹⁵⁴⁰

12  But the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ of the poor^{4480 1803} of the land⁷⁷⁶ to be vinedressers³⁷⁵⁵ and husbandmen.³⁰⁰⁹

13  And the pillars⁵⁹⁸² of brass⁵¹⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ were in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the bases,⁴³⁵⁰ and the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ sea³²²⁰ that⁸³⁴ was in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ did the Chaldees³⁷⁷⁸ break in pieces,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and carried^{5375 853} the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ of them to Babylon.⁸⁹⁴

14  And the pots,⁵⁵¹⁸ and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the snuffers,⁴²¹² and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of brass⁵¹⁷⁸ wherewith⁸³⁴ they ministered,⁸³³⁴ took they away.³⁹⁴⁷

15  And the firepans,⁴²⁸⁹ and the bowls,⁴²¹⁹ and such things as⁸³⁴ were of gold,²⁰⁹¹ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of silver,³⁷⁰¹ in silver,³⁷⁰¹ the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ took away.³⁹⁴⁷

16  The two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² one²⁵⁹ sea,³²²⁰ and the bases⁴³⁵⁰ which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ of all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ vessels³⁶²⁷ was¹⁹⁶¹ without³⁸⁰⁸ weight.⁴⁹⁴⁸

17  The height⁶⁹⁶⁷ of the one²⁵⁹ pillar⁵⁹⁸² was eighteen^{8083 6240} cubits,⁵²⁰ and the chapiter³⁸⁰⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ it was brass:⁵¹⁷⁸ and the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ of the chapiter³⁸⁰⁵ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cubits;⁵²⁰ and the wreathen work,⁷⁶³⁹ and pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ the chapiter³⁸⁰⁵ round about,⁵⁴³⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ of brass:⁵¹⁷⁸ and like unto these⁴²⁸ had the second⁸¹⁴⁵ pillar⁵⁹⁸² with⁵⁹²¹ wreathen work.⁷⁶³⁹

18  And the captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ took^{3947 853} Seraiah⁸³⁰⁴ the chief⁷²¹⁸ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and Zephaniah⁶⁸⁴⁶ the second⁴⁹³² priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ keepers⁸¹⁰⁴ of the door:⁵⁵⁹²

19  And out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the city⁵⁸⁹² he took³⁹⁴⁷ an²⁵⁹ officer⁵⁶³¹ that^{834 1931} was set⁶⁴⁹⁶ over⁵⁹²¹ the men³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ and five²⁵⁶⁸ men³⁷⁶ of them that were^{4480 7200} in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ presence,⁶⁴⁴⁰ which⁸³⁴ were found⁴⁶⁷² in the city,⁵⁸⁹² and the principal⁸²⁶⁹ scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ of the host,⁶⁶³⁵ which mustered^{6633 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ men³⁷⁶ of the people^{4480 5971} of the land⁷⁷⁶ that were found⁴⁶⁷² in the city:⁵⁸⁹²

20  And Nebuzaradan⁵⁰¹⁸ captain⁷²²⁷ of the guard²⁸⁷⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ these, and brought¹⁹⁸⁰ them to⁵⁹²¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ to Riblah:⁷²⁴⁷

21  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ smote⁵²²¹ them, and slew⁴¹⁹¹ them at Riblah⁷²⁴⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Hamath.²⁵⁷⁴ So Judah³⁰⁶³ was carried away¹⁵⁴⁰ out of^{4480 5921} their land.¹²⁷

22  And as for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that remained⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ whom⁸³⁴ Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ had left,⁷⁶⁰⁴ even over⁵⁹²¹ them he made ⁸⁵³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahikam,²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphan,⁸²²⁷ ruler.⁶⁴⁸⁵

23  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the armies,²⁴²⁸ they¹⁹⁹² and their men,³⁷⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ had made ⁸⁵³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ governor,⁶⁴⁸⁵ there came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ to Mizpah,⁴⁷⁰⁹ even Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nethaniah,⁵⁴¹⁸ and Johanan³¹¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of Careah,⁷¹⁴³ and Seraiah⁸³⁰⁴ the son¹¹²¹ of Tanhumeth⁸⁵⁷⁶ the Netophathite,⁵²⁰⁰ and Jaazaniah²⁹⁷⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of a Maachathite,⁴⁶⁰² they¹⁹⁹² and their men.³⁷⁶

24  And Gedaliah¹⁴³⁶ swore⁷⁶⁵⁰ to them, and to their men,³⁷⁶ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Fear³³⁷² not⁴⁰⁸ to be the servants^{4480 5650} of the Chaldees:³⁷⁷⁸ dwell³⁴²⁷ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ and serve^{5647 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon;⁸⁹⁴ and it shall be well³¹⁹⁰ with you.

25  But it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month,²³²⁰ that Ishmael³⁴⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Nethaniah,⁵⁴¹⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Elishama,⁴⁷⁶ of the seed^{4480 2233} royal,⁴⁴¹⁰ came,⁹³⁵ and ten⁶²³⁵ men³⁷⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ him, and smote^{5221 853} Gedaliah,¹⁴³⁶ that he died,⁴¹⁹¹ and the Jews³⁰⁶⁴ and the Chaldees³⁷⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁸⁵⁴ him at Mizpah.⁴⁷⁰⁹

26  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ both small^{4480 6996} and great,¹⁴¹⁹ and the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of the armies,²⁴²⁸ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and came⁹³⁵ to Egypt:⁴⁷¹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ they were afraid³³⁷² of^{4480 6440} the Chaldees.³⁷⁷⁸

27  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and thirtieth⁷⁹⁷⁰ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the captivity¹⁵⁴⁶ of Jehoiachin³⁰⁷⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ in the twelfth^{8147 6240} month,²³²⁰ on the seven⁷⁶⁵¹ and twentieth⁶²⁴² day of the month,²³²⁰ that Evilmerodach¹⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ in the year⁸¹⁴¹ that he began to reign⁴⁴²⁷ did lift up^{5375 853} the head⁷²¹⁸ of Jehoiachin³⁰⁷⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ out of prison;^{4480 1004 3608}

28  And he spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ kindly²⁸⁹⁶ to⁸⁵⁴ him, and set^{5414 853} his throne³⁶⁷⁸ above^{4480 5921} the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ that⁸³⁴ were with⁸⁵⁴ him in Babylon;⁸⁹⁴

29  And changed^{8132 853} his prison³⁶⁰⁸ garments:⁸⁹⁹ and he did eat³⁹⁸ bread³⁸⁹⁹ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of his life.²⁴¹⁶

30  And his allowance⁷³⁷ was a continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ allowance⁷³⁷ given⁵⁴¹⁴ him of^{4480 854} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ a daily³¹¹⁷ rate¹⁶⁹⁷ for every day,³¹¹⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of his life.²⁴¹⁶

1 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἐνάτῳ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δεκάτῳ ἦλθεν Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ παρενέβαλεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν περίτειχος κύκλῳ

2 καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ πόλις ἐν περιοχῇ ἕως τοῦ ἑνδεκάτου ἔτους τοῦ βασιλέως Σεδεκιου

3 ἐνάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν ἄρτοι τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς

4 καὶ ἐρράγη ἡ πόλις καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ πολέμου ἐξῆλθον νυκτὸς ὁδὸν πύλης τῆς ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν τειχέων αὕτη ἥ ἐστιν τοῦ κήπου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ οἱ Χαλδαῖοι ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν κύκλῳ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁδὸν τὴν Αραβα

5 καὶ ἐδίωξεν ἡ δύναμις τῶν Χαλδαίων ὀπίσω τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ κατέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐν Αραβωθ Ιεριχω καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ διεσπάρη ἐπάνωθεν αὐτοῦ

6 καὶ συνέλαβον τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Δεβλαθα καὶ ἐλάλησεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ κρίσιν

7 καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Σεδεκιου ἔσφαξεν κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς Σεδεκιου ἐξετύφλωσεν καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν πέδαις καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα

8 καὶ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πέμπτῳ ἑβδόμῃ τοῦ μηνός αὐτὸς ἐνιαυτὸς ἐννεακαιδέκατος τῷ Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος ἦλθεν Ναβουζαρδαν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος ἑστὼς ἐνώπιον βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ιερουσαλημ

9 καὶ ἐνέπρησεν τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ πάντας τοὺς οἴκους Ιερουσαλημ καὶ πᾶν οἶκον ἐνέπρησεν

10 ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος

11 καὶ τὸ περισσὸν τοῦ λαοῦ τὸ καταλειφθὲν ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ τοὺς ἐμπεπτωκότας οἳ ἐνέπεσον πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τοῦ στηρίγματος μετῆρεν Ναβουζαρδαν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος

12 καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πτωχῶν τῆς γῆς ὑπέλιπεν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος εἰς ἀμπελουργοὺς καὶ εἰς γαβιν

13 καὶ τοὺς στύλους τοὺς χαλκοῦς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ τὰς μεχωνωθ καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν τὴν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου συνέτριψαν οἱ Χαλδαῖοι καὶ ἦραν τὸν χαλκὸν αὐτῶν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα

14 καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰ ιαμιν καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὰς θυίσκας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χαλκᾶ ἐν οἷς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἔλαβεν

15 καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα καὶ τὰς φιάλας τὰς χρυσᾶς καὶ τὰς ἀργυρᾶς ἔλαβεν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος

16 στύλους δύο ἡ θάλασσα ἡ μία καὶ τὰ μεχωνωθ ἃ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου οὐκ ἦν σταθμὸς τοῦ χαλκοῦ πάντων τῶν σκευῶν

17 ὀκτωκαίδεκα πήχεων ὕψος τοῦ στύλου τοῦ ἑνός καὶ τὸ χωθαρ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸ χαλκοῦν καὶ τὸ ὕψος τοῦ χωθαρ τριῶν πήχεων σαβαχα καὶ ῥοαὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ χωθαρ κύκλῳ τὰ πάντα χαλκᾶ καὶ κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ τῷ στύλῳ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐπὶ τῷ σαβαχα

18 καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος τὸν Σαραιαν ἱερέα τὸν πρῶτον καὶ τὸν Σοφονιαν υἱὸν τῆς δευτερώσεως καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν σταθμὸν

19 καὶ ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἔλαβεν εὐνοῦχον ἕνα ὃς ἦν ἐπιστάτης ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν καὶ πέντε ἄνδρας τῶν ὁρώντων τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ τὸν γραμματέα τοῦ ἄρχοντος τῆς δυνάμεως τὸν ἐκτάσσοντα τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς καὶ ἑξήκοντα ἄνδρας τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς τοὺς εὑρεθέντας ἐν τῇ πόλει

20 καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς Ναβουζαρδαν ὁ ἀρχιμάγειρος καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Δεβλαθα

21 καὶ ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Δεβλαθα ἐν γῇ Αιμαθ καὶ ἀπῳκίσθη Ιουδας ἐπάνωθεν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ

22 καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ καταλειφθεὶς ἐν γῇ Ιουδα οὓς κατέλιπεν Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν τὸν Γοδολιαν υἱὸν Αχικαμ υἱοῦ Σαφαν

23 καὶ ἤκουσαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτῶν ὅτι κατέστησεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Γοδολιαν καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς Γοδολιαν εἰς Μασσηφαθ καὶ Ισμαηλ υἱὸς Ναθανιου καὶ Ιωαναν υἱὸς Καρηε καὶ Σαραιας υἱὸς Θανεμαθ ὁ Νετωφαθίτης καὶ Ιεζονιας υἱὸς τοῦ Μαχαθι αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτῶν

24 καὶ ὤμοσεν Γοδολιας αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς μὴ φοβεῖσθε πάροδον τῶν Χαλδαίων καθίσατε ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος καὶ καλῶς ἔσται ὑμῖν

25 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ μηνὶ ἦλθεν Ισμαηλ υἱὸς Ναθανιου υἱοῦ Ελισαμα ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος τῶν βασιλέων καὶ δέκα ἄνδρες μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν Γοδολιαν καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ τοὺς Ιουδαίους καὶ τοὺς Χαλδαίους οἳ ἦσαν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς Μασσηφαθ

26 καὶ ἀνέστη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ μικροῦ καὶ ἕως μεγάλου καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν δυνάμεων καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον ὅτι ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν Χαλδαίων

27 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ τριακοστῷ καὶ ἑβδόμῳ ἔτει τῆς ἀποικεσίας τοῦ Ιωακιμ βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ μηνὶ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ὕψωσεν Ευιλμαρωδαχ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν Ιωακιμ βασιλέως Ιουδα καὶ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὸν ἐξ οἴκου φυλακῆς αὐτοῦ

28 καὶ ἐλάλησεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀγαθὰ καὶ ἔδωκεν τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἐπάνωθεν τῶν θρόνων τῶν βασιλέων τῶν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι

29 καὶ ἠλλοίωσεν τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς φυλακῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤσθιεν ἄρτον διὰ παντὸς ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ

30 καὶ ἡ ἑστιατορία αὐτοῦ ἑστιατορία διὰ παντὸς ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως λόγον ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ

1 Factum est autem anno nono regni ejus, mense decimo, decima die mensis, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, ipse et omnis exercitus ejus, in Jerusalem, et circumdederunt eam: et exstruxerunt in circuitu ejus munitiones.

2 Et clausa est civitas atque vallata usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciæ,

3 nona die mensis: prævaluitque fames in civitate, nec erat panis populo terræ.

4 Et interrupta est civitas: et omnes viri bellatores nocte fugerunt per viam portæ quæ est inter duplicem murum ad hortum regis. Porro Chaldæi obsidebant in circuitu civitatem. Fugit itaque Sedecias per viam quæ ducit ad campestria solitudinis.

5 Et persecutus est exercitus Chaldæorum regem, comprehenditque eum in planitie Jericho: et omnes bellatores qui erant cum eo, dispersi sunt, et reliquerunt eum.

6 Apprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha: qui locutus est cum eo judicium.

7 Filios autem Sedeciæ occidit coram eo, et oculos ejus effodit, vinxitque eum catenis, et adduxit in Babylonem.

8 Mense quinto, septima die mensis, ipse est annus nonusdecimus regis Babylonis, venit Nabuzardan princeps exercitus, servus regis Babylonis, in Jerusalem.

9 Et succendit domum Domini, et domum regis: et domos Jerusalem, omnemque domum combussit igni.

10 Et muros Jerusalem in circuitu destruxit omnis exercitus Chaldæorum, qui erat cum principe militum.

11 Reliquam autem populi partem quæ remanserat in civitate, et perfugas qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis, et reliquum vulgus transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ.

12 Et de pauperibus terræ reliquit vinitores et agricolas.

13 Columnas autem æreas quæ erant in templo Domini, et bases, et mare æreum quod erat in domo Domini, confregerunt Chaldæi, et transtulerunt æs omne in Babylonem.

14 Ollas quoque æreas, et trullas, et tridentes, et scyphos, et mortariola, et omnia vasa ærea, in quibus ministrabant, tulerunt.

15 Necnon et thuribula, et phialas: quæ aurea, aurea, et quæ argentea, argentea tulit princeps militiæ,

16 id est, columnas duas, mare unum, et bases quas fecerat Salomon in templo Domini: non erat pondus æris omnium vasorum.

17 Decem et octo cubitos altitudinis habebat columna una: et capitellum æreum super se altitudinis trium cubitorum: et retiaculum, et malogranata super capitellum columnæ, omnia ærea: similem et columna secunda habebat ornatum.

18 Tulit quoque princeps militiæ Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum, et tres janitores.

19 Et de civitate eunuchum unum, qui erat præfectus super bellatores viros: et quinque viros de his qui steterant coram rege, quos reperit in civitate: et Sopher principem exercitus, qui probabat tyrones de populo terræ: et sexaginta viros e vulgo, qui inventi fuerant in civitate.

20 Quos tollens Nabuzardan princeps militum, duxit ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.

21 Percussitque eos rex Babylonis, et interfecit eos in Reblatha in terra Emath: et translatus est Juda de terra sua.

22 Populo autem qui relictus erat in terra Juda, quem dimiserat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, præfecit Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan.

23 Quod cum audissent omnes duces militum, ipsi et viri qui erant cum eis, videlicet quod constituisset rex Babylonis Godoliam, venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha, Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, et Johanan filius Caree, et Saraia filius Thanehumeth Netophathites, et Jezonias filius Maachathi, ipsi et socii eorum.

24 Juravitque Godolias ipsis et sociis eorum, dicens: Nolite timere servire Chaldæis: manete in terra, et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis.

25 Factum est autem in mense septimo, venit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ filii Elisama de semine regio, et decem viri cum eo: percusseruntque Godoliam, qui et mortuus est: sed et Judæos et Chaldæos qui erant cum eo in Maspha.

26 Consurgensque omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum, et principes militum, venerunt in Ægyptum timentes Chaldæos.

27 Factum est vero in anno trigesimo septimo transmigrationis Joachin regis Juda, mense duodecimo, vigesima septima die mensis: sublevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis, anno quo regnare cœperat, caput Joachin regis Juda de carcere.

28 Et locutus est ei benigne, et posuit thronum ejus super thronum regum qui erant cum eo in Babylone.

29 Et mutavit vestes ejus quas habuerat in carcere, et comedebat panem semper in conspectu ejus cunctis diebus vitæ suæ.

30 Annonam quoque constituit ei sine intermissione, quæ et dabatur ei a rege per singulos dies omnibus diebus vitæ suæ.
