5 But|strong="H1696" the|strong="H3947" army|strong="H2428" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3947" Chaldeans|strong="H3778" pursued|strong="H7291" after|strong="H7291" them|strong="H3947", and|strong="H4428" overtook|strong="H5381" Zedekiah|strong="H6667" in|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3947" plains|strong="H6160" of|strong="H4428" Jericho|strong="H3405": and|strong="H4428" when|strong="H1696" they|strong="H3947" had|strong="H4428" taken|strong="H3947" him|strong="H3947", they|strong="H3947" brought|strong="H5927" him|strong="H3947" up|strong="H5927" to|strong="H1696" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5019" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Babylon to|strong="H1696" Riblah|strong="H7247" in|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3947" land of|strong="H4428" Hamath|strong="H2574"; and|strong="H4428" he|strong="H1696" gave|strong="H3947" judgment|strong="H4941" upon|strong="H5927" him|strong="H3947".
6 Then|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Babylon slew|strong="H7819" the|strong="H3605" sons|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Zedekiah|strong="H6667" in|strong="H4428" Riblah|strong="H7247" before|strong="H5869" his|strong="H3605" eyes|strong="H5869": also|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Babylon slew|strong="H7819" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" nobles|strong="H2715" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063".

9 Then|strong="H5307" Nebuzaradan|strong="H5018" the|strong="H5921" captain|strong="H7227" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H5921" guard|strong="H2876" carried|strong="H1540" away|strong="H1540" captive|strong="H1540" into|strong="H1540" Babylon the|strong="H5921" residue|strong="H3499" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H5921" people|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" remained|strong="H7604" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" city|strong="H5892", the|strong="H5921" deserters|strong="H5307" also|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" fell|strong="H5307" away|strong="H1540" to|strong="H5921" him|strong="H5921", and|strong="H5971" the|strong="H5921" residue|strong="H3499" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H5921" people|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" remained|strong="H7604".
10 But|strong="H1931" Nebuzaradan|strong="H5018" the|strong="H5414" captain|strong="H7227" of|strong="H3117" the|strong="H5414" guard|strong="H2876" left|strong="H7604" of|strong="H3117" the|strong="H5414" poor|strong="H1800" of|strong="H3117" the|strong="H5414" people|strong="H5971", that|strong="H5971" had|strong="H3063" nothing|strong="H3972", in|strong="H3117" the|strong="H5414" land of|strong="H3117" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H3063" gave|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414" vineyards|strong="H3754" and|strong="H3063" fields|strong="H3010" at|strong="H3117" the|strong="H5414" same|strong="H1931" time|strong="H3117".
11 Now|strong="H7227" Nebuchadnezzar|strong="H5019" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Babylon gave|strong="H6680" charge|strong="H5921" concerning|strong="H5921" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" to|strong="H5921" Nebuzaradan|strong="H5018" the|strong="H5921" captain|strong="H7227" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5921" guard|strong="H2876", saying,
12 Take|strong="H3947" him|strong="H5921", and|strong="H5869" look|strong="H5869" well|strong="H5869" to|strong="H1696" him|strong="H5921", and|strong="H5869" do|strong="H6213" him|strong="H5921" no|strong="H6213" harm|strong="H7451"; but|strong="H3588" do|strong="H6213" unto|strong="H1696" him|strong="H5921" even|strong="H3588" as|strong="H6213" he|strong="H3588" shall|strong="H5869" say|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" thee|strong="H6213".
13 So|strong="H7971" Nebuzaradan|strong="H5018" the|strong="H3605" captain|strong="H7227" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" guard|strong="H2876" sent|strong="H7971", and|strong="H7971" Nebushazban, Rab-saris|strong="H7249", and|strong="H7971" Nergal-sharezer|strong="H5371", Rab-mag|strong="H7248", and|strong="H7971" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" chief|strong="H7227" officers|strong="H7227" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H4428" Babylon;
14 they|strong="H5971" sent|strong="H7971", and|strong="H1121" took|strong="H3947" Jeremiah|strong="H3414" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5414" court|strong="H2691" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5414" guard|strong="H4307", and|strong="H1121" committed|strong="H5414" him|strong="H5414" unto|strong="H5414" Gedaliah|strong="H1436" the|strong="H5414" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Ahikam, the|strong="H5414" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Shaphan|strong="H8227", that|strong="H5971" he|strong="H1004" should carry|strong="H3318" him|strong="H5414" home|strong="H1004". So|strong="H3947" he|strong="H1004" dwelt|strong="H3427" among|strong="H8432" the|strong="H5414" people|strong="H5971".
15 Now|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" came|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H3068" Jeremiah|strong="H3414", while|strong="H1961" he|strong="H3068" was|strong="H3068" shut|strong="H6113" up|strong="H6113" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" court|strong="H2691" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" guard|strong="H4307", saying|strong="H1697",

17 But|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3068" deliver|strong="H5337" thee|strong="H5414" in|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3117" day|strong="H3117", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068"; and|strong="H3068" thou|strong="H3027" shalt not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" given|strong="H5414" into|strong="H3027" the|strong="H6440" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" men of|strong="H3068" whom|strong="H6440" thou|strong="H3027" art|strong="H3068" afraid|strong="H3016".
18 For|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" surely|strong="H3588" save|strong="H4422" thee, and|strong="H3068" thou|strong="H1961" shalt not|strong="H3808" fall|strong="H5307" by|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5002" sword|strong="H2719", but|strong="H3588" thy|strong="H3068" life|strong="H5315" shall|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" for|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3068" prey|strong="H7998" unto|strong="H3068" thee; because|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H1961" hast put|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" trust in|strong="H3068" me|strong="H5315", saith|strong="H5002" Jehovah|strong="H3068".
