And Zedekiah was twenty one years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

Thereto, all the rulers of the priests with the people trespassed apace after all manner of abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

But they mocked the messengers of God and despised their words and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD so arose against his people that it was past remedy. And so he brought upon them the king of Chaldeans and slew their young men with the sword in their holy temple, and neither spared young man nor maiden, neither old man, neither so much as him that stooped for age: But gave all into his hand. And all the vessels of the house of God both great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king and his lords he carried to Babylon, every whit. And they burnt the house of God and brake down the walls of Jerusalem and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire with all the goodly stuff thereof, and marred it.

He burnt up also the king's palace, all the houses, and all the gorgeous buildings in Jerusalem.

For every pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the rope that went about it, was twelve cubits, and four fingers thick and round. Now upon the rope were brazen knops, and every knop was five cubits high: and upon the knops were hoops, and pomegranates round about of clean brass.

Now the Chaldeans had compassed the city round about; yet went these men their way toward the wilderness. And so the Chaldeans followed upon them, and took Zedekiah the king in the field of Jericho, when his host was run from him.
