2 Kings 25:8-26
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And in the fifth month, and [a]seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan [b]chief steward and servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem,
9 And burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the chief steward, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the city, and those that were fled and [c]fallen to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan chief steward carry away captive.
12 But the chief steward left of the poor of the land to dress the vines, and to till the land.
13 (A)Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen Sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 The pots [d]also and the besoms, and the instruments of music, and the incense dishes, and all the vessels of brass that they ministered in, took they away.
15 And the ash pans, and the basins, and all that was of gold, and that was of silver, took the chief steward away,
16 With the two pillars, one Sea and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 (B)The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter thereon was brass, and the height of the chapiter was with network three cubits, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and likewise was the second pillar with the network.
18 And the chief steward took Seraiah the chief Priest, and Zephaniah the [e]second Priest, and the three keepers of the door.
19 And out of the city he took an Eunuch that had the oversight of the men of war, and [f]five men of them that were in the King’s presence, which were found in the city, and Sopher captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
20 And Nebuzaradan the chief steward took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
22 (C)Howbeit, there remained people in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left, and made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan ruler over them.
23 Then when all the captains of the host and their men heard, that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, to wit, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 And Gedaliah [g]sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and ye shall be well.
25 (D)But in the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the king’s seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, and he died, and so did he the Jews, and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Then all the people both small and great, and the captains of the army arose, and came to [h]Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
