39:1 And it came to pass in the ninth month
of Sedekias king of Judah, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and
all his host, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
39:2 And in the eleventh year of Sedekias, in the fourth month, on the ninth
day of the month, the city was broken [up].
39:3 And all the leaders of the king of Babylon went in, and sat in the
middle gate, Marganasar, and Samagoth, and Nabusachar, and Nabusaris,
Nagargas, Naserrabamath, and the rest of the leaders of the king of Babylon,

39:14 and they sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and
gave him [in charge] to Elohimolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan: and
they brought him out, and he sat in the midst of the people.
39:15 And the word of Yehovah came to Jeremias in the court of the prison,
saying,
39:16 Go and say to Abdemelech the Ethiopian, Thus said Yehovah Elohim of
Israel; Behold, I [will] bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for
good.
39:17 But I will save thee in that day, and I will by no means deliver thee
into the hands of the men before whom thou art afraid.
39:18 For I will surely save thee, and thou shalt by no means fall by the
sword; and thou shalt find thy life, because thou didst trust in me, saith
Yehovah. |
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.
39:2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth
day of the month, the city was broken up.
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.
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.
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.
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.
39:7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to
carry him to Babylon.
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.
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.
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.
39:11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
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.
39:13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban,
Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
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.
39:15 Now the word of Yehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in
the court of the prison, saying,
39:16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Yehovah
of hosts, the Elohim 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.
39:17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Yehovah: and thou shalt
not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
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 Yehovah. |
