00:00.640 --> 00:06.600
Chapter 25 And it came to pass in the
ninth year of his reign, in the tenth

00:06.600 --> 00:11.040
month, in the tenth day of the month,
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came,

00:11.560 --> 00:15.860
he and all his host, against Jerusalem,
and pitched against it.

00:16.660 --> 00:19.020
And they built forts against it round
about.

00:19.980 --> 00:23.500
And the city was besieged unto the
eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

00:24.120 --> 00:28.380
And on the ninth day of the fourth month
the famine prevailed in the city,

00:29.020 --> 00:31.260
and there was no bread for the people of
the land.

00:32.260 --> 00:37.100
And the city was broken up, and all the
men of war fled by night by the way of the

00:37.100 --> 00:39.740
gate between two walls which is by the
king's garden.

00:40.660 --> 00:43.120
Now the Chaldees were against the city
round about.

00:44.220 --> 00:46.360
And the king went the way toward the
plain.

00:47.060 --> 00:51.920
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after
the king, and overtook him in the plains

00:51.920 --> 00:52.500
of Jericho.

00:53.400 --> 00:55.540
And all his army was scattered from him.

00:56.380 --> 01:00.180
So they took the king and brought him up
to the king of Babylon, to Riblah,

01:00.380 --> 01:02.200
and they gave judgment upon him.

01:02.760 --> 01:07.400
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before
his eyes, and put out the eyes of

01:07.400 --> 01:12.320
Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of
brass, and carried him to Babylon.

01:13.480 --> 01:17.460
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day
of the month, which is the nineteenth year

01:17.460 --> 01:22.260
of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
came Nebuchadnezzar Aden, captain of the

01:22.260 --> 01:25.180
guard, a servant of the king of Babylon,
into Jerusalem.

01:25.940 --> 01:30.200
And he burnt the house of the Lord,
and the king's house, and all the houses

01:30.200 --> 01:33.840
of Jerusalem, and every great man's house
burnt he with fire.

01:34.540 --> 01:39.140
And all the army of the Chaldees that were
with the captain of the guard break down

01:39.140 --> 01:40.900
the walls of Jerusalem round about.

01:41.900 --> 01:45.880
Now the rest of the people that were left
in the city, and the fugitives that fell

01:45.880 --> 01:49.980
away to the king of Babylon, with the
remnant of the multitude, did

01:49.980 --> 01:52.800
Nebuchadnezzar Aden, the captain of the
guard, carry away.

01:52.800 --> 01:57.920
But the captain of the guard left of the
poor of the land to be vinedressers and

01:57.920 --> 01:58.440
husbandmen.

01:59.440 --> 02:03.260
And the pillars of brass that were in the
house of the Lord, and the bases,

02:03.740 --> 02:07.680
and the brass and sea that was in the
house of the Lord, did the Chaldees break

02:07.680 --> 02:10.600
in pieces, and carried the brass of them
to Babylon.

02:11.320 --> 02:14.280
And the pots, and the shovels,
and the snuffers, and the spoons,

02:14.700 --> 02:18.540
and all the vessels of brass wherewith
they ministered, took they away.

02:19.140 --> 02:23.120
And the firepans, and the bowls,
and such things as were of gold,

02:23.360 --> 02:27.820
in gold, and of silver, in silver,
the captain of the guard took away.

02:28.600 --> 02:33.200
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases
which Solomon had made for the house of

02:33.200 --> 02:36.620
the Lord, the brass of all these vessels
was without weight.

02:37.360 --> 02:42.140
The height of the one pillar was eighteen
cubits, and the chapter upon it was brass,

02:42.840 --> 02:46.640
and the height of the chapter three
cubits, and the wreathen work,

02:47.100 --> 02:50.800
and pomegranates upon the chapter round
about, all of brass.

02:51.400 --> 02:54.460
And like unto these had the second pillar,
with wreathen work.

02:55.620 --> 03:00.240
And the captain of the guard took Saraiah
the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second

03:00.240 --> 03:04.340
priest, and the three keepers of the door,
and out of the city he took an officer

03:04.340 --> 03:08.620
that was set over the men of war,
and five men of them that were in the

03:08.620 --> 03:12.920
king's presence, which were found in the
city, and the principal scribe of the

03:12.920 --> 03:17.380
host, which mustered the people of the
land, and threescore men of the people of

03:17.380 --> 03:19.240
the land that were found in the city.

03:20.140 --> 03:23.800
And Nebuchadnezzar the captain of the
guard took these, and brought them to the

03:23.800 --> 03:25.260
king of Babylon, to Riblah.

03:25.840 --> 03:29.880
And the king of Babylon smote them,
and slew them at Riblah in the land of

03:29.880 --> 03:30.200
Hamath.

03:30.920 --> 03:34.000
So Judah was carried away out of their
land.

03:34.680 --> 03:39.180
And as for the people that remained in the
land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of

03:39.180 --> 03:44.600
Babylon had left, even over them he made
Gedaliah the son of Ahicham, the son of

03:44.600 --> 03:45.620
Shaphan, ruler.

03:46.720 --> 03:50.900
And when all the captains of the armies,
they and their men, heard that the king of

03:50.900 --> 03:55.400
Babylon had made Gedaliah governor,
they came to Gedaliah to Mizba,

03:55.880 --> 04:00.340
even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah,
and Johanan, the son of Kereah,

04:00.920 --> 04:05.260
and Saraiah, the son of Tanhumath,
an Atophathite, and Jeazaniah,

04:05.360 --> 04:07.560
the son of Amalekithite, they and their
men.

04:08.340 --> 04:12.900
And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their
men, and said unto them, Fear not to be

04:12.900 --> 04:14.440
the servants of the Chaldees.

04:14.760 --> 04:19.700
Dwell in the land, and serve the king of
Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

04:20.260 --> 04:24.700
But it came to pass in the seventh month,
that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah,

04:25.120 --> 04:30.140
the son of Elishema, of the seed royal,
came, and ten men with him, and smote

04:30.140 --> 04:34.460
Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and
the Chaldees that were with him at Mizba.

04:34.960 --> 04:39.000
And all the people, both small and great,
and the captains of the armies,

04:39.220 --> 04:43.720
arose and came to Egypt, for they were
afraid of the Chaldees.

04:44.680 --> 04:48.740
And it came to pass in the seventh and
thirtieth year of the captivity of

04:48.740 --> 04:53.780
Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth
month, on the seventh and twentieth day of

04:53.780 --> 04:57.580
the month, that evil Merodach,
king of Babylon, in the year that he began

04:57.580 --> 05:02.040
to reign, did lift up the head of
Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison.

05:02.780 --> 05:07.140
And he spake kindly to him, and set his
throne above the throne of the kings that

05:07.140 --> 05:10.560
were with him in Babylon, and changed his
prison garments.

05:11.320 --> 05:14.820
And he did eat bread continually before
him all the days of his life.

05:15.340 --> 05:19.180
And his allowance was a continual
allowance, given him of the king,

05:19.620 --> 05:23.040
a daily rate for every day, all the days
of his life.

05:27.760 --> 05:30.080
This concludes disc number 22.
