2 Kings 25

¹And in the ninth yeere of his reigne, the tenth moneth and tenth day of the moneth Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came, he, and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and they built fortes against it round about it.

²So the citie was besieged vnto the eleueth yeere of King Zedekiah.

³And the ninth day of the moneth the famine was sore in the citie, so that there was no bread for the people of the lande.

⁴Then the citie was broken vp, and all the men of warre fled by night, by the way of the gate, which is betweene two walles that was by the Kings garden: nowe the Caldees were by the citie round about: and the King went by the way of the wildernesse.

⁵But the armie of the Caldees pursued after the King, and tooke him in the desertes of Iericho, and all his hoste was scattered from him.

⁶Then they tooke the King, and caried him vp to the King of Babel to Riblah, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.

⁷And they slew the sonnes of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bounde him in chaines, and caried him to Babel.

⁸And in the fift moneth, and seuenth day of the moneth, which was the nineteenth yere of King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, came Nebuzar-adan chiefe stewarde and seruaunt of the King of Babel, to Ierusalem,

⁹And burnt the house of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.

¹⁰And all the armie of the Caldees that were with the chiefe stewarde, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem round about.
