2 Kings 25 - Introduction

Nebuchadnezzar, having taken Jerusalem, puts out the eyes of Zedekiah, and carries him to Babylon. The temple is burned. Ishmael kills Gedaliah: the Jews who are left fly to Egypt, through fear of the Chaldeans. Jehoiachin, after thirty-seven years, is brought forth from prison, and treated humanely by Evil-merodach.
