2 Kings 25:24 320 2 Kings 25:30

Maachathi, they and their men. 24 And Gedaliah
sware to them, and to their men, and sayd vnto
them, Feare not to be the seruants of the Caldees:
dwell in the land, and serue the King of Babel,
and ye shalbe well. 25 But in the seuenth moneth
Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah the sonne of
Elishama of the Kings seede, came, and ten men
with him, and smote Gedaliah, and he died, and
so did he the Iewes, and the Caldees that were
with him at Mizpah. 26 Then all ye people both
small and great, and the captaines of the armie
arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraide of
the Caldees. 27 Notwithstanding in the seuen and
thirtieth yeere after Iehoiachin King of Iudah was
caried away, in the twelft moneth and the seuen
and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach
King of Babel in the yeere that hee began to
reigne, did lift vp the head of Iehoiachin King
of Iudah out of the prison, 28 And spake kindly
to him, and set his throne aboue the throne of
the Kings that were with him in Babel, 29 And
changed his prison garments: and he did contin-
ually eate bread before him, all the dayes of his
life. 30 And his portion was a continual portion
giuen him by the King, euery day a certaine, all
the dayes of his life.
