12:024:018 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign,
           and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.  And his mother’s
           name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

12:024:019 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the lord,
           according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

12:024:020 For through the anger of the lord it came to pass in Jerusalem
           and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that
           Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

12:025:001 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the
           tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that
           Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host,
           against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built
           forts against it round about.

12:025:002 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
           Zedekiah.

12:025:003 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed
           in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the
           land.

12:025:004 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by
           night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by
           the king’s garden:  (now the Chaldees were against the city
           round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.

12:025:005 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and
           overtook him in the plains of Jericho:  and all his army were
           scattered from him.

12:025:006 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of
           Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

12:025:007 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put
           out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass,
           and carried him to Babylon.

12:025:008 And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which
           is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
           came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king
           of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: 

12:025:009 And he burnt the house of the lord, and the king’s house, and
           all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt
           he with fire.

12:025:010 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain
           of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

12:025:011 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the
           fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the
           remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the
           guard carry away.

12:025:012 But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of
           the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
