JER-39:1 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.
JER-39:2 [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth
month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
JER-39:3 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.
JER-39:4 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.
JER-39:5 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.
JER-39:6 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.
JER-39:7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with
chains, to carry him to Babylon.
JER-39:8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the
houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of
Jerusalem.
JER-39:9 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.
JER-39:10 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.
JER-39:11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge
concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard,
saying,
JER-39:12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm;
but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
JER-39:13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and
Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the
king of Babylon's princes;
JER-39:14 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.
JER-39:15 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he
was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
JER-39:16 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.
JER-39:17 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.
JER-39:18 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.
