Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Indeed, because of the LORD's anger this came upon Jerusalem and Judah, until he cast them out of his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with his whole army against Jerusalem. They laid siege to it and built siege works all around it.
So the city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city had grown so severe that there was no food for the people of the land.
Then the city wall was breached, and all the soldiers fled. They left the city by night through the gate between the two walls near the king's garden, though the Chaldeans surrounded the city, and they went toward the Arabah.
But the Chaldean army pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and his whole army scattered from him.
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him.
The king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also slaughtered all the officials of Judah at Riblah.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him in bronze shackles, and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon and kept him in prison until the day of his death.
In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month—that is, the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
He burned the house of the LORD, the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned with fire.
And the whole Chaldean army that was with the captain of the guard tore down all the walls surrounding Jerusalem.
Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried into exile some of the poorest of the people, along with the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen.
But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and the fields.
The Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars of the house of the LORD, along with the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
They also took the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the dishes, and all the bronze vessels used in the temple service.
The captain of the guard took the bowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the dishes, and the libation vessels—everything made of gold and everything made of silver.
As for the two pillars, the one sea, the twelve bronze bulls under the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD—the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weighing.
Each pillar stood eighteen cubits high; its circumference was twelve cubits, it was four fingers thick, and hollow inside.
On top of it was a bronze capital five cubits high, with lattice work and pomegranates all around the capital, all of bronze. The second pillar was the same, with its pomegranates.
There were ninety-six pomegranates on each side; in all, the pomegranates on the lattice work all around numbered one hundred.
The captain of the guard also took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold.
From the city he took one court official who was in command of the soldiers, seven men of the king's personal attendants who were found in the city, the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found inside the city.
Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
And there at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was carried away from its land.
This is the number of the people Nebuchadnezzar carried into exile: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
in Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year, 832 persons from Jerusalem;
in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carried into exile 745 Jews. In all, 4,600 persons.
In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year he became king, showed favor to Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and for the rest of his life he ate regularly at the king's table.
And a regular allowance was given him by the king of Babylon, day by day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
