Zedekiah [was] one and twenty 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.

For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which [was] by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans [were] by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath where he gave judgment upon him.

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great [men], burned he with fire:

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive [certain] of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups [that] which [was] of gold [in] gold, and [that] which [was] of silver [in] silver, took the captain of the guard away.

And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers: [it was] hollow.

And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side [and] all the pomegranates upon the network [were] an hundred round about.

He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

Then said [some] of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give [it] you.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.
