Jeremiah 39
And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, cameH935 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and all his armyH2428 against JerusalemH3389, and besiegedH6696 it;
in the eleventhH6249 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667, in the fourthH7243 monthH2320, the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320, a breachH1234 was made in the cityH5892,)
that all the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came inH935, and satH3427 inH935 the middleH8432 gateH8179, to wit, Nergal-sharezerH5371, Samgar-neboH5562, SarsechimH8310, Rab-sarisH7249, Nergal-sharezerH5371, Rab-magH7248, with all the rest of the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
And it came to pass that, when ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and all the menH582 of warH4421 sawH7200 them, then they fledH1272, and went forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892 by nightH3915, by the wayH1870 of the king'sH4428 gardenH1588, through the gateH8179 betwixt the two wallsH2346; and he went outH3318 toward the ArabahH6160.
But the armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and overtookH5381 ZedekiahH6667 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405: and when they had takenH3947 him, they broughtH3947 him upH5927 to Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of HamathH2574; and he gaveH1696 judgmentH4941 upon him.
Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 the sonsH1121 of ZedekiahH6667 in RiblahH7247 before his eyesH5869: also the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 slewH7819 all the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063.
Moreover he put outH5786 Zedekiah'sH6667 eyesH5869, and boundH631 him in fettersH5178, to carryH935 him to BabylonH894.
And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
Then NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 carried away captiveH1540 into BabylonH894 the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604 in the cityH5892, the deserters also that fellH5307 awayH5307 to him, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 that remainedH7604.
But NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 leftH7604 of the poorH1800 of the peopleH5971, that had nothingH3972, in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and gaveH5414 them vineyardsH3754 and fieldsH3010 at the same timeH3117.
Now NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 gave chargeH6680 concerning JeremiahH3414 toH3027 NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 him, and look wellH5869 to him, and doH6213 him no harmH3972; but doH6213 unto him even as he shall sayH1696 unto thee.
So NebuzaradanH5018 the captainH7227 of the guardH2876 sentH7971, and NebushazbanH5021, Rab-sarisH7249, and Nergal-sharezerH5371, Rab-magH7248, and all the chief officersH7227 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894;
they sentH7971, and tookH3947 JeremiahH3414 out of the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, and committedH5414 him unto GedaliahH1436 the sonH1121 of AhikamH296, the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, that he should carryH3318 him homeH1004: so he dweltH3427 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
Now the wordH1697 of JehovahH3068 came unto JeremiahH3414, while he was shut upH6113 in the courtH2691 of the guardH4307, sayingH559,
GoH1980, and speakH559 to Ebed-melechH5663 the EthiopianH3569, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: Behold, I will bringH935 my wordsH1697 upon this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896; and they shall be accomplished beforeH6440 thee in that dayH3117.
But I will deliverH5337 thee in that dayH3117, saithH5002 JehovahH3068; and thou shalt not be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the menH582 of whomH6440 thou art afraidH3016.
For I will surelyH4422 saveH4422 thee, and thou shalt not fallH5307 by the swordH2719, but thy lifeH5315 shall be for a preyH7998 unto thee; because thou hast put thy trustH982 in me, saithH5002 JehovahH3068.
