1This is how Jerusalem was captured: in the ninth year of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the tenth month, King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and besieged it;[#2 Kings 25.1–4; Jer 52.4–7; Ezek 24.1, 2; #39.1 In Heb, this clause appears at the end of 38.28]
2in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.[#2 Kings 25.4; Jer 52.7]
3Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.[#Jer 38.17]
4When King Zedekiah of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, going out of the city at night by way of the King’s Garden through the gate between the two walls, and they went toward the Arabah.[#2 Kings 25.4; 2 Chr 32.5; Jer 52.7; Am 2.14]
5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him up to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.[#Josh 4.13; 2 Kings 23.33; Jer 32.4; 38.18, 23]
6The king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah at Riblah before his eyes; also the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah.[#2 Kings 25.7; Jer 34.19–21]
7He put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in fetters to take him to Babylon.[#2 Kings 25.7; Jer 32.5; 52.11; Ezek 12.13]
8The Chaldeans burned with fire the king’s house and the houses of the people and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.[#2 Kings 25.9, 10; Jer 38.18; 52.13]
9Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard exiled to Babylon the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to him, and the rest of the people who remained.[#2 Kings 25.11, 20; Jer 24.8; 38.19; 52.12–16]
10Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left in the land of Judah some of the poor people who owned nothing and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.[#2 Kings 25.12; Jer 52.16]
11King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon gave command concerning Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying,[#Jer 1.8; 15.20, 21; Acts 24.23]
12“Take him, look after him well, and do him no harm, but deal with him as he may ask you.”
13So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon sent
14and took Jeremiah from the court of the guard. They entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan to be brought home. So he stayed with his own people.[#2 Kings 22.12, 14; Jer 38.28; 40.1–6]
15The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guard:
16Go and say to Ebed-melech the Cushite: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to fulfill my words against this city for evil and not for good, and they shall be accomplished in your presence on that day.[#Jer 21.10; 38.7, 12; Dan 9.12; Zech 1.6]
17But I will save you on that day, says the Lord , and you shall not be handed over to those whom you dread.[#Ps 41.1, 2; 50.15]
18For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have trusted in me, says the Lord .[#Ps 34.22; Jer 17.7, 8; 21.9; 45.5]
