1 In the ninth year of Zedeki­ah king of Ju­dah, in the tenth month, came Neb­uchadrez­zar king of Baby­lon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they be­sieged it. 2 And in the eleventh year of Zedeki­ah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was bro­ken up. 3 And all the princes of the king of Baby­lon came in, and sat in the mid­dle gate, even Ner­gal­sharez­er, Sam­gar­nebo, Sar­sechim, Rab­saris, Ner­gal­sharez­er, Rab­mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Baby­lon. 4 And it came to pass, that when Zedeki­ah the king of Ju­dah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's gar­den, by the gate be­twixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain. 5 But the Chaldeans' army pur­sued af­ter them, and over­took Zedeki­ah in the plains of Jeri­cho: and when they had tak­en him, they brought him up to Neb­uchad­nez­zar king of Baby­lon to Ri­blah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judg­ment upon him. 6 Then the king of Baby­lon slew the sons of Zedeki­ah in Ri­blah be­fore his eyes: also the king of Baby­lon slew all the no­bles of Ju­dah. 7 More­over he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to car­ry him to Baby­lon. 8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the hous­es of the peo­ple, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. 9 Then Neb­uzaradan the cap­tain of the guard car­ried away cap­tive into Baby­lon the rem­nant of the peo­ple that re­mained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the peo­ple that re­mained. 10 But Neb­uzaradan the cap­tain of the guard left of the poor of the peo­ple, which had noth­ing, in the land of Ju­dah, and gave them vine­yards and fields at the same time. 11 Now Neb­uchadrez­zar king of Baby­lon gave charge con­cern­ing Jeremi­ah to Neb­uzaradan the cap­tain of the guard, say­ing, 12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee. 13 So Neb­uzaradan the cap­tain of the guard sent, and Neb­ushas­ban, Rab­saris, and Ner­gal­sharez­er, Rab­mag, and all the king of Babylon's princes; 14 Even they sent, and took Jeremi­ah out of the court of the prison, and com­mit­ted him unto Gedali­ah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should car­ry him home: so he dwelt among the peo­ple. 15 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremi­ah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, say­ing, 16 Go and speak to Ebed­m­elech the Ethiopi­an, say­ing, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Is­rael; Be­hold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day be­fore thee. 17 But I will de­liv­er thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be giv­en into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. 18 For I will sure­ly de­liv­er thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: be­cause thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
