Dual Panel1And it came to pass in the ninth <08671> year <08141> of his reign <04427> (8800)_, in the tenth <06224> month <02320>_, in the tenth <06218> [day] of the month <02320>_, [that] Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> came <0935> (8804)_, he, and all his host <02428>_, against Jerusalem <03389>_, and pitched <02583> (8799) against it; and they built <01129> (8799) forts <01785> against it round about <05439>_.
2And the city <05892> was besieged <0935> (8799) <04692> unto the eleventh <06249> <06240> year <08141> of king <04428> Zedekiah <06667>_.
3And on the ninth <08672> [day] of the [fourth] month <02320> the famine <07458> prevailed <02388> (8799) in the city <05892>_, and there was no bread <03899> for the people <05971> of the land <0776>_.
4And the city <05892> was broken up <01234> (8735)_, and all the men <0582> of war <04421> [fled] by night <03915> by the way <01870> of the gate <08179> between two walls <02346>_, which [is] by the king's <04428> garden <01588>_: (now the Chaldees <03778> [were] against the city <05892> round about <05439>:) and [the king] went <03212> (8799) the way <01870> toward the plain <06160>_.

9And he burnt <08313> (8799) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and the king's <04428> house <01004>_, and all the houses <01004> of Jerusalem <03389>_, and every great <01419> [man's] house <01004> burnt <08313> (8804) he with fire <0784>_.

12But the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> left <07604> (8689) of the poor <01803> of the land <0776> [to be] vinedressers <03755> and husbandmen <03009> (8802) (8675) <01461> (8801)_.
13And the pillars <05982> of brass <05178> that [were] in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and the bases <04350>_, and the brasen <05178> sea <03220> that [was] in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, did the Chaldees <03778> break in pieces <07665> (8765)_, and carried <05375> (8799) the brass <05178> of them to Babylon <0894>_.
14And the pots <05518>_, and the shovels <03257>_, and the snuffers <04212>_, and the spoons <03709>_, and all the vessels <03627> of brass <05178> wherewith they ministered <08334> (8762)_, took they away <03947> (8804)_.
15And the firepans <04289>_, and the bowls <04219>_, [and] such things as [were] of gold <02091>_, [in] gold <02091>_, and of silver <03701>_, [in] silver <03701>_, the captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took away <03947> (8804)_.
16The two <08147> pillars <05982>_, one <0259> sea <03220>_, and the bases <04350> which Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_; the brass <05178> of all these vessels <03627> was without <03808> weight <04948>_. {one...: Heb. the one sea}
17The height <06967> of the one <0259> pillar <05982> [was] eighteen <08083> <06240> cubits <0520>_, and the chapiter <03805> upon it [was] brass <05178>_: and the height <06967> of the chapiter <03805> three <07969> cubits <0520>_; and the wreathen work <07639>_, and pomegranates <07416> upon the chapiter <03805> round about <05439>_, all of brass <05178>_: and like unto these had the second <08145> pillar <05982> with wreathen work <07639>_.

19And out of the city <05892> he took <03947> (8804) an <0259> officer <05631> that was set <06496> over the men <0582> of war <04421>_, and five <02568> men <0582> of them that were <07200> (8802) in the king's <04428> presence <06440>_, which were found <04672> (8738) in the city <05892>_, and the principal <08269> scribe <05608> (8802) of the host <06635>_, which mustered <06633> (8688) the people <05971> of the land <0776>_, and threescore <08346> men <0376> of the people <05971> of the land <0776> [that were] found <04672> (8737) in the city <05892>_: {officer: or, eunuch} {were in...: Heb. saw the king's face} {principal...: or, scribe of the captain of the host}
20And Nebuzaradan <05018> captain <07227> of the guard <02876> took <03947> (8799) these, and brought <03212> (8686) them to the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> to Riblah <07247>_:

22And [as for] the people <05971> that remained <07604> (8737) in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>_, whom Nebuchadnezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> had left <07604> (8689)_, even over them he made Gedaliah <01436> the son <01121> of Ahikam <0296>_, the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>_, ruler <06485> (8686)_.
23And when all the captains <08269> of the armies <02428>_, they and their men <0582>_, heard <08085> (8799) that the king <04428> of Babylon <0894> had made Gedaliah <01436> governor <06485> (8689)_, there came <0935> (8799) to Gedaliah <01436> to Mizpah <04709>_, even Ishmael <03458> the son <01121> of Nethaniah <05418>_, and Johanan <03110> the son <01121> of Careah <07143>_, and Seraiah <08304> the son <01121> of Tanhumeth <08576> the Netophathite <05200>_, and Jaazaniah <02970> the son <01121> of a Maachathite <04602>_, they and their men <0582>_.
24And Gedaliah <01436> sware <07650> (8735) to them, and to their men <0582>_, and said <0559> (8799) unto them, Fear <03372> (8799) not to be the servants <05650> of the Chaldees <03778>_: dwell <03427> (8798) in the land <0776>_, and serve <05647> (8798) the king <04428> of Babylon <0894>_; and it shall be well <03190> (8799) with you.
