was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in . And his mother’s name was the daughter of of Libnah. And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that had done. For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in and , till he had cast them out from his presence, that rebelled against the king of . And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that king of came, he and all his army, against , and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about. So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king . And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain. But the army of the pursued after the king, and overtook in the plains of ; and all his army was scattered from him. Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of to in the land of ; where he gave judgment upon him. And the king of slew the sons of before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of in . Then he out the eyes of ; and the king of bound him in chains, and carried him to , and him in prison till the day of his death. Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king of , came -adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of , into , And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of , and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire: And all the army of the , that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of round about. Then -adan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of , and the rest of the multitude. But -adan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen. Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the brake, and carried all the brass of them to . The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and , and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. And the basons, and the firepans, and , and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away. The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen ; and a fillet of twelve did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow. And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five , with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these. And there were ninety and six pomegranates a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about. And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city. So -adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of to . And the king of smote them, and them to death in in the land of . Thus was carried away captive out of his own land. This is the people whom carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and three and twenty: In the eighteenth year of he carried away captive from eight hundred thirty and two persons: In the three and twentieth year of -adan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred. And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of king of , in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that -merodach king of in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of king of , and brought him forth out of prison, And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in , And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of , every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
