THE FALL OF YERU SHALEM
Sidqi Yah is a son of twenty-one years in beginning to reign; and he reigns eleven years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Hamutal the daughter of Yirme Yah of Libnah. 2 And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh according to all Yah Yaqim worked. 3 For because of the wrath of Yah Veh it is in Yeru Shalem and Yah Hudah, until he casts them from his face; and Sidqi Yah rebels against the sovereign of Babel. 4 And so be it, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel comes - he and all his valiant against Yeru Shalem and encamp against it; and builds battering towers against it all around: 5 thus the city comes under siege to the eleventh year of sovereign Sidqi Yah. 6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, the famine prevails in the city, and there is no bread for the people of the land. 7 Then the city splits and all the men of war flee; and go from the city by night by the way of the portal between the two walls by the garden of the sovereign - the Kesediym are all around the city; and they go by the way of the plain: 8 and the valiant of the Kesediym pursue the sovereign and overtake Sidqi Yah in the plains of Yericho; and all his valiant scatter from him: 9 and they apprehend the sovereign, and ascend him to the sovereign of Babel - to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he words judgment on him. 10 And the sovereign of Babel slaughters the sons of Sidqi Yah in front of his eyes: he also slaughters all the governors of Yah Hudah in Riblah: 11 and he blinds the eyes of Sidqi Yah; and the sovereign of Babel binds him in coppers and carries him to Babel; and gives him in the house of visitation until the day of his death. 12 And in the fifth month, in the tenth of the month, which year is the nineteenth year of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel, Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer who stands at the face of the sovereign of Babel, comes to Yeru Shalem; 13 and burns the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign and all the houses of Yeru Shalem: and all the houses of the great he burns with fire: 14 and all the valiant of the Kesediym with the rabbi slaughterer break down all the walls of Yeru Shalem all around: 15 and Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer exiles certain of the poor people and the remnant of the people who survive in the city and those who fell away - who fell to the sovereign of Babel with the remnant of the multitude: 16 and Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer lets some of the poor of the land survive for vinedressers and for plowers. 17 And the Kesediym break the pillars of copper in the house of Yah Veh and the bases and the copper sea in the house of Yah Veh, and bear all their copper to Babel 18 - with the caldrons and the shovels and the tweezers and the sprinklers and the hollow bowls: and they take away all the instruments of copper with which they ministered: 19 and the rabbi slaughterer takes away the basons and the trays and the sprinklers and the caldrons and the menorah and the spoons and the exoneration basins of gold gold and of silver silver 20 - the two pillars, one sea, and twelve copper bulls under the bases, which sovereign Shelomah worked in the house of Yah Veh: the copper of all these instruments without weight: 21 and the pillars - the height of one pillar eighteen cubits and a thread of twelve cubits surrounds it; and the thickness, four fingers - hollow: 22 with a cap of copper thereon; and the height of one cap, five cubits; with netting and pomegranates on the caps all around - all of copper: and the second pillar and the pomegranates are like to these: 23 and there are ninety-six pomegranates on a wind; and all the pomegranates on the netting are a hundred all around. 24 And the rabbi slaughterer takes Sera Yah the chief priest and Sephan Yah the second priest and the three guards of the threshold: 25 and he also takes one eunuch of the city - an overseer of the men of war; and seven of their men who see the face of the sovereign whom they find in the city; and the scribe of the governor of the host who hosts the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land whom they find midst the city. 26 And Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer takes them and carries them to the sovereign of Babel to Riblah: 27 and the sovereign of Babel smites them and deathifies them in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus they exile Yah Hudah from his own soil. 28 This is the people Nebukadnets Tsar exiles: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Yah Hudiym: 29 in the eighteenth year of Nebukadnets Tsar he exiles eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Yeru Shalem: 30 In the twenty-third year of Nebukadnets Tsar, Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer exiles seven hundred and forty-five souls of the Yah Hudiym: all the souls are four thousand and six hundred. 31 And so be it, in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth of the month, Evil Merodach sovereign of Babel in the year of his sovereigndom lifts the head of Yah Yachin sovereign of Yah Hudah; and brings him from the prison house; 32 and words good to him: and gives his throne above the throne of the sovereigns with him in Babel: 33 and changes his prison clothes: and he continually eats bread at his face all the days of his life. 34 And for his ration, he is a given continual ration of the sovereign of Babel - a word day by day until the day of his death all the days of his life.
