16 The two pillars, one huge bronze laver, and the bases
which Shlomo had made for the Bayit of vuvh; the bronze
of all these vessels was without weight.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and
the capital upon it was bronze: and the height of the
capital three cubits; and the network, and pomegranates
upon the capital all around, all of bronze: and like these
had also the second pillar with a network.
18 And the captain of the guard took Serayahu the chief
kohen, and Tzephanyah the second kohen, and the three
doorkeepers:
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over
the men of war, and five of them that were in the melech's
presence, which were found in the city, and the chief
Sopher of the armies, who mustered the people of the
land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were
found in the city:
20 And Nevuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and
brought them to the melech of Bavel to Rivlah:
21 And the melech of Bavel smote them and put them to
death at Rivlah in the land of Chamath. So he exiled
Yahudah from their own land.
22 And he appointed Gedalyahu son of Achikam, son of
Shaphan, governor over the people who were left in the
land of Yahudah, whom Nevuchadnetzar melech of Bavel
had left.
23 And when all the commanders of the armies, they and
their men, heard that the melech of Bavel had appointed
Gedalyahu governor, they came to Gedalyahu at Mitzpah,
even Yishmael son of Nethanyahu, and Yochanan son of
Kareach, and Serayahu son of Tanchumeth the
Netophathite, and Yaazneyahu the son of the
Maachathite, they and their men.

24 And Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and
said to them, Fear not the avadim of the Chaldeans: dwell
in the land, and serve the melech of Bavel; and it shall be
well with you.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that
Yishmael the son of Nethanyahu, the son of Elishama, of
the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and
smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, along with the
Yahudim and the Chaldeans that were with him at
Mitzpah.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the
captains of the armies, arose, and came to Mitzrayim: for
they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the
captivity of Yahuyahchin melech of Yahudah, in the
twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month,
that Evil-Merodach melech of Bavel in the year that he
began to reign released Yahuyahchin melech of Yahudah
out of prison;
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his kesay above
the thrones of the melechim that were with him in Bavel;
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat
lechem continually before him all the days of his chayim.
30 And his allowance was a continual allowance given to
him by the melech, a daily rate every day, all the days of
his chayim.
