26. So Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to Melech Bavel to Rivlah.

27. And Melech Bavel struck them, and put them to death in Rivlah in Eretz Chamat. Thus Yehudah was carried away captive out of his own land.

28. This is the people whom Nevuchadretzar carried away captive: in the seventh year 3,023 Yehudim:

29. In the eighteenth year of Nevuchadretzar he carried away captive from Yerushalayim 832 nefesh:

30. In the three and twentieth year of Nevuchadretzar Nevuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Yehudim 745 nefesh: the nefesh were 4,600 in all.

31. And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the Golus of Y'hoyakhin Melech Yehudah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Eveel-Merodach Melech Bavel in the first year of his reign [562 B.C.E.] lifted up the head of Y'hoyakhin Melech Yehudah, and brought him forth out of prison [561 B.C.E.].

32. And spoke kindly unto him, and set his throne above the kisse of the melachim that were with him in Babylon,

33. And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat lechem before him all the days of his life.

34. And for his allowance, there was a regular allowance given him of the Melech Bavel, every day a portion until the yom moto (day of his death) all the days of his life.
