<< Jeremiah 39 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers		 
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah in the tenth month came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem and they besieged it 2 And in the eleventh __ year of Zedekiah in the fourth month the ninth day of the month the city was broken up 3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the middle gate even Nergalsharezer Samgarnebo Sarsechim Rabsaris Nergalsharezer Rabmag with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon 4 And it came to pass that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them and all the men of war then they fled and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the king's garden by the gate betwixt the two walls and he went out the way of the plain 5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho and when they had taken him they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath where he gave judgment upon him 6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah 7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him with chains to carry him to Babylon 8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire and brake down the walls of Jerusalem 9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city and those that fell away that fell to him with the rest of the people that remained 10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people which had nothing in the land of Judah and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time

11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard saying 12 Take him and look well __ to him and do him no harm __ but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee 13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent and Nebushasban Rabsaris and Nergalsharezer Rabmag and all the king of Babylon's princes 14 Even they sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan that he should carry him home so he dwelt among the people

15 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison saying 16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian saying Thus saith the LORD of hosts the God of Israel Behold I will bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee 17 But I will deliver thee in that day saith the LORD and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid 18 For I will surely deliver thee and thou shalt not fall by the sword but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee because thou hast put thy trust in me saith the LORD
