Jeremiah, starting at chapter 52

{52:1} Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and
he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was
Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {52:2} He did that which
was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had
done. {52:3} For through the anger of Yahweh did it happen in
Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence.
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. {52:4} It happened in
the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of
the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his
army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts
against it round about. {52:5} So the city was besieged to the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah. {52:6} In the fourth month, in the
ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there
was no bread for the people of the land. {52:7} Then a breach was made
in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the
city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was
by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city all
around;) and they went toward the Arabah. {52:8} But the army of the
Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains
of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. {52:9} Then they
took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in
the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him. {52:10} The king of
Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also
all the princes of Judah in Riblah. {52:11} He put out the eyes of
Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried
him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
{52:12} Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which
was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of
Babylon, into Jerusalem: {52:13} and he burned the house of Yahweh,
and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every
great house, burned he with fire. {52:14} All the army of the
Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the
walls of Jerusalem all around. {52:15} Then Nebuzaradan the captain of
the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and 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. {52:16} But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of
the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers. {52:17}
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 all the brass of them to Babylon. {52:18}
The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and
the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered,
took they away. {52:19} The cups, and the fire pans, and the basins,
and the pots, and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the bowls--that
which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in
silver,--the captain of the guard took away. {52:20} The two pillars,
the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases,
which king Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh. The brass of all
these vessels was without weight. {52:21} As for the pillars, the
height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve
cubits did compass it; and its thickness was four fingers: it was
hollow. {52:22} A capital of brass was on it; and the height of the
one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the
capital all around, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like
these, and pomegranates. {52:23} There were ninety-six pomegranates on
the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all
around. {52:24} The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief
priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the
threshold: {52:25} and out of the city he took an officer who was set
over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king's face,
who were found in the city; and the scribe of 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 midst of the city. {52:26} Nebuzaradan
the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of
Babylon to Riblah. {52:27} 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. {52:28} This is the people whom
Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three
thousand twenty-three Jews; {52:29} in the eighteenth year of
Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred
thirty-two persons; {52:30} 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. {52:31} 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; {52:32} and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above
the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon, {52:33} and
changed his prison garments. [Jehoiachin] ate bread before him
continually all the days of his life: {52:34} 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.
