Die Einnahme Jerusalems und das Gericht über Zedekia

1 Zedekia war 21 Jahre alt, als er König wurde, und er regierte 11 Jahre lang in Jerusalem; und der Name seiner Mutter war Hamutal, eine Tochter Jeremias von Libna. (2Kön 24,17) 2 Und er tat, was böse war in den Augen des HERRN, ganz wie Jojakim es getan hatte. (2Kön 24,19; Jer 3,5; Jer 13,23; Jer 25,5)

2Kön 24,19Jer 3,5Jer 13,23Jer 25,5

3 Und so geschah es wegen des Zornes des HERRN gegen Jerusalem und Juda — damit er sie von seinem Angesicht verwerfe —, dass Zedekia sich gegen den König von Babel empörte. (2Kön 17,20; 2Kön 24,3; 2Kön 24,20)

2Kön 17,202Kön 24,32Kön 24,20

4 Und es geschah im neunten Jahr seiner Regierung, am zehnten Tag des zehnten Monats, dass Nebukadnezar, der König von Babel, er und seine ganze Heeresmacht, gegen Jerusalem kam; und sie belagerten es und bauten Belagerungswälle rings um es her. (2Kön 25,1; Hes 24,1) 5 Und die Stadt wurde belagert bis ins elfte Jahr des Königs Zedekia. (2Kön 25,2; Jer 52,1) 6 Am neunten Tag des vierten Monats, als die Hungersnot in der Stadt überhandnahm und das Volk des Landes kein Brot mehr hatte, (2Kön 25,3; Jes 3,1; Jer 15,2; Jer 19,9)

2Kön 25,3Jes 3,1Jer 15,2Jer 19,9

7 da brach man in die Stadt ein, und alle Kriegsleute flohen und verließen die Stadt bei Nacht auf dem Weg durch das Tor zwischen den beiden Mauern beim Garten des Königs, während die Chaldäer die Stadt umzingelten; und sie nahmen den Weg zur Arava. (5Mo 28,25; Jer 34,2; Jer 39,4; Jer 49,26)

5Mo 28,25Jer 34,2Jer 39,4Jer 49,26

8 Aber das Heer der Chaldäer jagte dem König nach, und sie holten Zedekia ein auf der Ebene von Jericho, nachdem sein ganzes Heer ihn verlassen und sich zerstreut hatte. (Jer 21,7; Jer 32,4) 9 Und sie ergriffen den König und führten ihn zum König von Babel hinauf nach Ribla im Land Hamat, und er sprach das Urteil über ihn. (2Kön 25,6; Jer 32,4; Jer 39,5) 10 Und der König von Babel ließ die Söhne Zedekias vor dessen Augen niedermetzeln, auch alle Fürsten Judas ließ er in Ribla niedermetzeln; (2Kön 25,7; 2Kön 25,18; Jer 22,30; Jer 52,24)

2Kön 25,72Kön 25,18Jer 22,30Jer 52,24

11 Zedekia aber ließ er die Augen ausstechen und ihn mit zwei ehernen Ketten binden; und der König von Babel brachte ihn nach Babel und warf ihn ins Gefängnis bis zum Tag seines Todes. (Jer 34,3)

Die Plünderung und Zerstörung des Tempels

12 Aber am zehnten Tag des fünften Monats, das war das neunzehnte Jahr des Königs Nebukadnezar, des Königs von Babel, kam Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, der vor dem König von Babel stand, nach Jerusalem, (2Kön 25,8; Jer 39,9; Jer 40,1) 13 und er brannte das Haus des HERRN und das Haus des Königs und alle Häuser von Jerusalem nieder; und jedes Haus der Vornehmen verbrannte er mit Feuer. (2Kön 25,9; Jer 7,14) 14 Und das ganze Heer der Chaldäer, das bei dem Obersten der Leibwache war, zerstörte alle Mauern von Jerusalem ringsum. (2Kön 25,10; Neh 1,3) 15 Und einige von den Geringen des Volkes und den Überrest des Volkes, der in der Stadt übrig geblieben war, samt den Überläufern, die zum König von Babel übergegangen waren, und den Rest der Handwerker führte Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, gefangen hinweg. (2Kön 25,11; Jer 15,1; Jer 39,9) 16 Aber von den Geringen des Landes ließ Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, einige als Weingärtner und Bauern zurück. (2Kön 25,12; Jer 39,10; Jer 40,5) 17 Die ehernen Säulen aber, die zum Haus des HERRN gehörten, und die Gestelle und das eherne Wasserbecken, das im Haus des HERRN war, zerbrachen die Chaldäer und schleppten das ganze Erz davon nach Babel. (1Kön 7,15; 1Kön 7,27; Jer 27,19; Jer 52,21)

1Kön 7,151Kön 7,27Jer 27,19Jer 52,21

18 Sie nahmen auch die Töpfe weg und die Schaufeln, die Messer, die Sprengschalen, die Schalen und alles eherne Gerät, womit man den [Tempel]dienst zu verrichten pflegte; (2Mo 27,3) 19 die Becken und die Räucherpfannen, die Sprengschalen und die Töpfe, die Leuchter und die Schalen und die Opferschalen; alles, was aus reinem Gold war, und alles, was aus reinem Silber war, das nahm der Oberste der Leibwache weg. (2Mo 25,31; 2Mo 35,13; 4Mo 7,86; 1Kön 7,48; 2Chr 24,14)

2Mo 25,312Mo 35,134Mo 7,861Kön 7,482Chr 24,14

20 Die zwei Säulen, das eine Wasserbecken und die zwölf ehernen Rinder darunter, die Gestelle, die der König Salomo für das Haus des HERRN hatte machen lassen — das Erz von allen diesen Geräten war nicht zu wägen. (1Kön 7,23; 1Kön 7,47; 1Chr 22,14; 2Chr 4,18; Jer 52,17)

1Kön 7,231Kön 7,471Chr 22,142Chr 4,18Jer 52,17

21 Und was die beiden Säulen [betrifft] — eine Säule war 18 Ellen hoch, und ein Faden von 12 Ellen umspannte sie; sie waren aber vier Finger dick, inwendig hohl. (1Kön 7,15; 2Kön 25,16; 2Chr 3,15) 22 Oben darauf war ein Kapitell aus Erz, und die Höhe des einen Kapitells betrug 5 Ellen; und ein Geflecht mit Granatäpfeln war an dem Kapitell ringsum, alles aus Erz; ganz gleich war auch die andere Säule und hatte auch Granatäpfel. (1Kön 7,16; 2Chr 4,12) 23 Es waren 96 Granatäpfel nach den [vier] Windrichtungen verteilt, im ganzen waren es 100 in dem Geflecht ringsum. 24 Und der Oberste der Leibwache nahm Seraja, den obersten Priester, und den zweiten Priester Zephanja samt den drei Hütern der Schwelle; (2Kön 25,18; Jer 52,12; Jer 52,15) 25 und er nahm auch aus der Stadt einen Hofbeamten, der über das Kriegsvolk gesetzt war, und sieben Männer von denen, die das Angesicht des Königs gesehen hatten, die in der Stadt gefunden wurden, dazu den Schreiber des Heerführers, der das Volk des Landes zum Heeresdienst aushob, und 60 Mann vom Volk des Landes, die in der Stadt gefunden wurden; (2Kön 25,19) 26 diese nahm Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, und führte sie zum König von Babel nach Ribla. (2Kön 25,20) 27 Und der König von Babel ließ sie in Ribla umbringen, im Land Hamat. So wurde Juda aus seinem Land gefangen weggeführt. (2Kön 24,11; 2Kön 25,21; Esr 1,11; Esr 2,1; Neh 1,2; Jer 1,3; Hes 33,21; Dan 2,25; Dan 5,13; Dan 6,14)

28 Dies ist das Volk, das Nebukadnezar gefangen weggeführt hat: Im siebten Jahr 3 023 Juden; (2Kön 24,14; 2Kön 25,11; 2Chr 36,20; Jer 52,29)

29 im achtzehnten Jahr Nebukadnezars aus Jerusalem 832 Seelen; 30 im dreiundzwanzigsten Jahr Nebukadnezars führte Nebusaradan, der Oberste der Leibwache, von den Juden 745 Seelen weg; im Ganzen 4 600 Seelen. (Jer 52,15)

Die Begnadigung des Königs Jojachin

31 Und es geschah im siebenunddreißigsten Jahr der Wegführung Jojachins, des Königs von Juda, am fünfundzwanzigsten Tag des zwölften Monats, da erhob Evil-Merodach, der König von Babel, im ersten Jahr seiner Regierung das Haupt Jojachins, des Königs von Juda, und führte ihn aus dem Gefängnis heraus.

King James Version

1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother' name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 3 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. 4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about. 5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. 7 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' garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain. 8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. 9 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. 10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. 11 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. 12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, 13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king' house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men , burned he with fire: 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. 15 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. 16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen. 17 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. 18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. 19 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. 20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight. 21 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. 22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these. 23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about. 24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 25 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' 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. 26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. 27 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. 28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty: 29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons: 30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred. 31 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, 32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon, 33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. 34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

The fall of Jerusalem

1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim had done. 3 It was because of the Lord’s anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence. Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. 4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. They encamped outside the city and built siege works all around it. 5 The city was kept under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 6 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city had become so severe that there was no food for the people to eat. 7 Then the city wall was broken through, and the whole army fled. They left the city at night through the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden, though the Babylonians^[1] were surrounding the city. They fled towards the Arabah,^[2] 8 but the Babylonian^[3] army pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. All his soldiers were separated from him and scattered, 9 and he was captured. He was taken to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced sentence on him. 10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; he also killed all the officials of Judah. 11 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon, where he put him in prison till the day of his death. 12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard, who served the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 13 He set fire to the temple of the Lord, the royal palace and all the houses of Jerusalem. Every important building he burned down. 14 The whole Babylonian army, under the commander of the imperial guard, broke down all the walls around Jerusalem. 15 Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the rest of the craftsmen^[4] and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon. 16 But Nebuzaradan left behind the rest of the poorest people of the land to work the vineyards and fields. 17 The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars, the movable stands and the bronze Sea that were at the temple of the Lord and they carried all the bronze to Babylon. 18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and all the bronze articles used in the temple service. 19 The commander of the imperial guard took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls used for drink offerings – all that were made of pure gold or silver. 20 The bronze from the two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands, which King Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord, was more than could be weighed. 21 Each pillar was eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits in circumference^[5]; each was four fingers thick, and hollow. 22 The bronze capital on the top of one pillar was five cubits^[6] high and was decorated with a network and pomegranates of bronze all around. The other pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar. 23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; the total number of pomegranates above the surrounding network was a hundred. 24 The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest next in rank and the three doorkeepers. 25 Of those still in the city, he took the officer in charge of the fighting men, and seven royal advisors. He also took the secretary who was chief officer in charge of conscripting the people of the land, sixty of whom were found in the city. 26 Nebuzaradan the commander took them all and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 There at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed. So Judah went into captivity, away from her land. 28 This is the number of the people Nebuchadnezzar carried into exile: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews; 29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem; 30 in his twenty-third year, 745 Jews taken into exile by Nebuzaradan the commander of the imperial guard. There were 4,600 people in all.

Jehoiachin released

31 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah and freed him from prison. 32 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honour higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. 33 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. 34 Day by day the king of Babylon gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived, till the day of his death.
