2 KINGS – Chapter 25 – KJV – Audio & Text with Headings

Final Fall and Exile of Judah This chapter details the complete destruction of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar. Siege and Fall of Jerusalem (v.1-7): After a rebellion by King Zedekiah, Nebuchadnezzar lays siege to Jerusalem for two years. A famine cripples the city, the walls are breached, and the army flees. Zedekiah is captured, his sons are executed before him, and he is blinded and taken to Babylon in chains. Destruction of the City and Temple (v.8-17): A month later, Nebuchadnezzar's commander, Nebuzaradan, burns down the Temple of Solomon, the royal palace, and all major buildings. He breaks down Jerusalem's walls. The Babylonians loot all the sacred treasures from the Temple (the bronze pillars, sea, and utensils) and carry them away. Exile of the People (v.8-12, 18-21): The officials, military leaders, and skilled citizens are taken into exile. Only the poorest are left to work the land. Key religious and civic leaders are captured and executed. Gedaliah's Brief Governorship (v.22-26): Nebuchadnezzar appoints Gedaliah as governor over the remnant in Judah. After a few months, he is assassinated by a royal claimant, Ishmael. Fearing Babylonian reprisals, the remaining people flee to Egypt. Epilogue: Jehoiachin's Fate (v.27-30): The book ends with a small glimmer of hope. After 37 years in prison, the exiled Judean king Jehoiachin is released from prison by a new Babylonian king, Evil-merodach. He is given honor and a regular allowance for the rest of his life, suggesting God's promise to David is not entirely extinguished. In essence: Chapter 25 is the tragic conclusion to the history of the Israelite monarchy, marking the end of the Kingdom of Judah, the destruction of God's Temple, and the beginning of the Babylonian Exile. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Book of 2 KINGS is available in audio format from the King James Version of the Holy Bible.
