Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

For the LORD's wrath was against Jerusalem and Judah until he had cast them out from his presence; and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his host came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; they built siegeworks against it round about. So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. And in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the famine prevailed in the city; there was no bread for the people of the land.

Then the city was breached, and all the men of war fled and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls which is by the king's garden, though the Chaldeans were round about the city; and they went by the plain. But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army fled from him.

Then they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and they passed sentence upon him. And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; also the king of Babylon put to death all the princes of Judah at Riblah.

Moreover he put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him to Babylon and put him in prison till the day of his death.

In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month—this was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. And 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 all the wall around Jerusalem the Chaldeans broke down.

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away the remnant of the people who remained in the city, and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the multitude. But of the poor of the land he left certain to be vinedressers and plowmen. And the bronze pillars that were in the house of the LORD, and the stands, and the molten sea, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried the bronze of them to Babylon.

Also the pots, the shovels, the basins, the fleshhooks, the bowls, and all the bronze utensils used in the service of the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans took away. And the censers, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, the lampstands, the bowls, and all the vessels of gold and silver the captain of the guard took away.

The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bulls under the bases—what Solomon made for the house of the LORD—there was no weight found for the bronze of all these articles.

The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a measuring line of twelve cubits encompassed it about; and the thickness of the one pillar was four fingers; it was hollow. And there was a capital of bronze upon it; the height of the capital was five cubits, with a network and pomegranates on the capital round about—all of bronze. So likewise for the second pillar, with pomegranates.

In the network were ninety-six pomegranates; all the pomegranates were a hundred on the network round about. And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.

From the city he took one eunuch who had been set over the men of war, and seven men of the king's council who were found in the city, the scribe of the captain of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. And the king of Babylon executed them at Riblah in the land of Hamath; so Judah was carried away out of its land.

This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year he carried away three thousand and twenty-three Jews.

In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons. And in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away from Jerusalem seven hundred forty-five persons; thus all the persons carried away were four thousand six hundred.
