52:1 Zedekiah 6667 [was] one 259 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427 8800, and he reigned 4427 8804 eleven 259 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389. And his mother's 517 name 8034 [was] Hamutal 2537 the daughter 1323 of Jeremiah 3414 of Libnah 3841.(began…: Heb. reigned)

52:2 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the eyes 5869 of the LORD 3068, according to all that Jehoiakim 3079 had done 6213 8804.

52:3 For through 5921 the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 it came to pass in Jerusalem 3389 and Judah 3063, till he had cast them out 7993 8687 from his presence 6440, that Zedekiah 6667 rebelled 4775 8799 against the king 4428 of Babylon 894.

52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth 8671 year 8141 of his reign 4427 8800, in the tenth 6224 month 2320, in the tenth 6218 [day] of the month 2320, [that] Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 came 935 8804, he and all his army 2428, against Jerusalem 3389, and pitched 2583 8799 against it, and built 1129 8799 forts 1785 against it round about 5439.

52:5 So 935 8799 the city 5892 was besieged 4692 unto the eleventh 6249 6240 year 8141 of king 4428 Zedekiah 6667.

52:6 And in the fourth 7243 month 2320, in the ninth 8672 [day] of the month 2320, the famine 7458 was sore 2388 8799 in the city 5892, so that there was no bread 3899 for the people 5971 of the land 776.

52:7 Then the city 5892 was broken up 1234 8735, and all the men 582 of war 4421 fled 1272 8799, and went forth 3318 8799 out of the city 5892 by night 3915 by the way 1870 of the gate 8179 between the two walls 2346, which [was] by the king's 4428 garden 1588; (now the Chaldeans 3778 [were] by the city 5892 round about 5439:) and they went 3212 8799 by the way 1870 of the plain 6160.

52:8 But the army 2428 of the Chaldeans 3778 pursued 7291 8799 after 310 the king 4428, and overtook 5381 8686 Zedekiah 6667 in the plains 6160 of Jericho 3405; and all his army 2428 was scattered 6327 8738 from him.

52:9 Then they took 8610 8799 the king 4428, and carried him up 5927 8686 unto the king 4428 of Babylon 894 to Riblah 7247 in the land 776 of Hamath 2574; where he gave 1696 8762 judgment 4941 upon him.

52:10 And the king 4428 of Babylon 894 slew 7819 8799 the sons 1121 of Zedekiah 6667 before his eyes 5869: he slew 7819 8804 also all the princes 8269 of Judah 3063 in Riblah 7247.

52:11 Then he put out 5786 8765 the eyes 5869 of Zedekiah 6667; and the king 4428 of Babylon 894 bound 631 8799 him in chains 5178, and carried 935 8686 him to Babylon 894, and put 5414 8799 him in prison 1004 6486 till the day 3117 of his death 4194.(put out: Heb. blinded)(chains: or, fetters)(prison: Heb. house of the wards)

52:12 Now in the fifth 2549 month 2320, in the tenth 6218 [day] of the month 2320, which [was] the nineteenth 8672 6240 8141 year 8141 of Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894, came 935 8804 Nebuzaradan 5018, captain 7227 of the guard 2876, [which] served 5975 8804 6440 the king 4428 of Babylon 894, into Jerusalem 3389,(captain…: or, chief marshal: Heb. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen)(served: Heb. stood before)

52:13 And burned 8313 8799 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the king's 4428 house 1004; and all the houses 1004 of Jerusalem 3389, and all the houses 1004 of the great 1419 [men], burned 8313 8804 he with fire 784:

52:14 And all the army 2428 of the Chaldeans 3778, that [were] with the captain 7227 of the guard 2876, brake down 5422 8804 all the walls 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 round about 5439.

52:15 Then Nebuzaradan 5018 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 carried away captive 1540 8689 [certain] of the poor 1803 of the people 5971, and the residue 3499 of the people 5971 that remained 7604 8737 in the city 5892, and those that fell away 5307 8802, that fell 5307 8804 to the king 4428 of Babylon 894, and the rest 3499 of the multitude 527.

52:16 But Nebuzaradan 5018 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 left 7604 8689 [certain] of the poor 1803 of the land 776 for vinedressers 3755 and for husbandmen 3009 8802.

52:17 Also the pillars 5982 of brass 5178 that [were] in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the bases 4350, and the brasen 5178 sea 3220 that [was] in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, the Chaldeans 3778 brake 7665 8765, and carried 5375 8799 all the brass 5178 of them to Babylon 894.

52:18 The caldrons 5518 also, and the shovels 3257, and the snuffers 4212, and the bowls 4219, and the spoons 3709, and all the vessels 3627 of brass 5178 wherewith they ministered 8334 8762, took they away 3947 8804.(shovels: or, instruments to remove the ashes)(bowls: or, basons)

52:19 And the basons 5592, and the firepans 4289, and the bowls 4219, and the caldrons 5518, and the candlesticks 4501, and the spoons 3709, and the cups 4518; [that] which [was] of gold 2091 [in] gold 2091, and [that] which [was] of silver 3701 [in] silver 3701, took 3947 0 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 away 3947 8804.(firepans: or, censers)

52:20 The two 8147 pillars 5982, one 259 sea 3220, and twelve 8147 6240 brasen 5178 bulls 1241 that [were] under the bases 4350, which king 4428 Solomon 8010 had made 6213 8804 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068: the brass 5178 of all these vessels 3627 was without weight 4948.(the brass: Heb. their brass)

52:21 And [concerning] the pillars 5982, the height 6967 of one 259 pillar 5982 [was] eighteen 8083 6240 cubits 520; and a fillet 2339 of twelve 8147 6240 cubits 520 did compass 5437 8799 it; and the thickness 5672 thereof [was] four 702 fingers 676: [it was] hollow 5014 8803.(fillet: Heb. thread)

52:22 And a chapiter 3805 of brass 5178 [was] upon it; and the height 6967 of one 259 chapiter 3805 [was] five 2568 cubits 520, with network 7639 and pomegranates 7416 upon the chapiters 3805 round about 5439, all [of] brass 5178. The second 8145 pillar 5982 also and the pomegranates 7416 [were] like unto these.

52:23 And there were ninety 8673 and six 8337 pomegranates 7416 on a side 7307; [and] all the pomegranates 7416 upon the network 7639 [were] an hundred 3967 round about 5439.

52:24 And the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 took 3947 8799 Seraiah 8304 the chief 7218 priest 3548, and Zephaniah 6846 the second 4932 priest 3548, and the three 7969 keepers 8104 8802 of the door 5592:(door: Heb. threshold)

52:25 He took 3947 8804 also out of the city 5892 an 259 eunuch 5631, which had the charge 6496 of the men 582 of war 4421; and seven 7651 men 582 of them that were near 7200 8802 the king's 4428 person 6440, which were found 4672 8738 in the city 5892; and the principal 8269 scribe 5608 8802 of the host 6635, who mustered 6633 8688 the people 5971 of the land 776; and threescore 8346 men 376 of the people 5971 of the land 776, that were found 4672 8737 in the midst 8432 of the city 5892.(were near…: Heb. saw the face of the king)(principal…: or, scribe of the captain of the host)

52:26 So Nebuzaradan 5018 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 took 3947 8799 them, and brought 3212 8686 them to the king 4428 of Babylon 894 to Riblah 7247.

52:27 And the king 4428 of Babylon 894 smote 5221 8686 them, and put them to death 4191 8686 in Riblah 7247 in the land 127 of Hamath 2574. Thus Judah 3063 was carried away captive 1540 8799 out of his own land 776.

52:28 This [is] the people 5971 whom Nebuchadrezzar 5019 carried away captive 1540 8689: in the seventh 7651 year 8141 three 7969 thousand 505 Jews 3064 and three 7969 and twenty 6242:

52:29 In the eighteenth 8083 6240 year 8141 of Nebuchadrezzar 5019 he carried away captive 1540 8689 from Jerusalem 3389 eight 8083 hundred 3967 thirty 7970 and two 8147 persons 5315:(persons: Heb. souls)

52:30 In the three 7969 and twentieth 6242 year 8141 of Nebuchadrezzar 5019 Nebuzaradan 5018 the captain 7227 of the guard 2876 carried away captive 1540 8689 of the Jews 3064 seven 7651 hundred 3967 forty 705 and five 2568 persons 5315: all the persons 5315 [were] four 702 thousand 505 and six 8337 hundred 3967.

52:31 And it came to pass in the seven 7651 and thirtieth 7970 year 8141 of the captivity 1546 of Jehoiachin 3078 king 4428 of Judah 3063, in the twelfth 8147 6240 month 2320, in the five 2568 and twentieth 6242 [day] of the month 2320, [that] Evilmerodach 192 king 4428 of Babylon 894 in the [first] year 8141 of his reign 4438 lifted up 5375 8804 the head 7218 of Jehoiachin 3078 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and brought him forth 3318 8686 out of prison 1004 3628,

52:32 And spake 1696 8762 kindly 2896 unto him, and set 5414 8799 his throne 3678 above 4605 the throne 3678 of the kings 4428 that [were] with him in Babylon 894,(kindly…: Heb. good things with him)

52:33 And changed 8138 8765 his prison 3608 garments 899: and he did continually 8548 eat 398 8804 bread 3899 before 6440 him all the days 3117 of his life 2416.

52:34 And [for] his diet 737, there was a continual 8548 diet 737 given 5414 8738 him of the king 4428 of Babylon 894, every 3117 day 3117 a portion 1697 until the day 3117 of his death 4194, all the days 3117 of his life 2416.(every…: Heb. the matter of the day in his day)
