Jeremiah 39:1 In the ninth8671 year8141 of Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 in the tenth6224 month,2320 came935 Nebuchadrezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 and all his army2428 against Jerusalem,3389 and they besieged6696 it.
2And in the eleventh62496240 year8141 of Zedekiah,6667 in the fourth7243 month,2320 the ninth8672day of the month,2320 the city5892 was broken up.12343 And all the princes8269 of the king4428 of Babylon894 came in,935 and sat3427 in the middle8432 gate,8179even Nergalsharezer,5371 Samgarnebo,5562 Sarsechim,8310 Rabsaris,7249 Nergalsharezer,5371 Rabmag,7248 with all the residue7611 of the princes8269 of the king4428 of Babylon.894
Jeremiah 39:4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah6667 the king4428 of Judah3063 saw7200 them, and all the men582 of war,4421 then they fled,1272 and went forth3318 out of the city5892 by night,3915 by the way1870 of the king's4428 garden,1588 by the gate8179 betwixt the two walls:2346 and he went out3318 the way1870 of the plain.61605 But the Chaldeans'3778 army2428 pursued7291 after310 them, and overtook5381 Zedekiah6667 in the plains6160 of Jericho:3405 and when they had taken3947 him, they brought him up5927 to Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 to Riblah7247 in the land776 of Hamath,2574 where he gave1696 judgment4941 upon him.{Heb. spake with him judgments}6 Then the king4428 of Babylon894 slew7819 the sons1121 of Zedekiah6667 in Riblah7247 before his eyes:5869 also the king4428 of Babylon894 slew7819 all the nobles2715 of Judah.30637 Moreover he put out5786 Zedekiah's6667 eyes,5869 and bound631 him with chains,5178{Heb. with two brasen chains, or fetters} to carry935 him to Babylon.894
Jeremiah 39:8 And the Chaldeans3778 burned8313 the king's4428 house,1004 and the houses1004 of the people,5971 with fire,784 and brake down5422 the walls2346 of Jerusalem.33899 Then Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876{Or, chief Marshal. Heb. chief of the executioners or slaughtermen. And so verse 10. 11, etc.} carried away captive1540 into Babylon894 the remnant3499 of the people5971 that remained7604 in the city,5892 and those that fell away,5307 that fell5307 to him, with the rest3499 of the people5971 that remained.760410 But Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 left7604 of the poor1800 of the people,5971 which had nothing,3972 in the land776 of Judah,3063 and gave5414 them vineyards3754 and fields3010 at the same time.3117{Heb. in that day}
Jeremiah 39:11 Now Nebuchadrezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 gave charge6680 concerning Jeremiah3414 to3027{Heb. by the hand of} Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard,2876 saying,55912 Take3947 him, and look well58697760 to him,{Heb. set thine eyes upon him} and do6213 him no harm;39727451 but do6213 unto him even as he shall say1696 unto thee.
13 So Nebuzaradan5018 the captain7227 of the guard2876 sent,7971 and Nebushasban,5021 Rabsaris,7249 and Nergalsharezer,5371 Rabmag,7248 and all the king4428 of Babylon's894 princes;722714 Even they sent,7971 and took3947 Jeremiah3414 out of the court2691 of the prison,4307 and committed5414 him unto Gedaliah1436 the son1121 of Ahikam296 the son1121 of Shaphan,8227 that he should carry3318 him home:1004 so he dwelt3427 among8432 the people.5971
Jeremiah 39:15 Now the word1697 of the LORD3068 came unto Jeremiah,3414 while he was shut up6113 in the court2691 of the prison,4307 saying,55916 Go1980 and speak559 to Ebedmelech5663 the Ethiopian,3569 saying,559 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of Israel;3478 Behold, I will bring935 my words1697 upon this city5892 for evil,7451 and not for good;2896 and they shall be accomplished in that day3117 before6440 thee.
17 But I will deliver5337 thee in that day,3117 saith5002 the LORD:3068 and thou shalt not be given5414 into the hand3027 of the men582 of whom6440 thou art afraid.301618 For I will surely4422 deliver4422 thee, and thou shalt not fall5307 by the sword,2719 but thy life5315 shall be for a prey7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust982 in me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
