因此，耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大的人发怒，把他们从祂面前赶走。后来，西底迦背叛了巴比伦王。西底迦执政第九年十月十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军攻打耶路撒冷，在城外安营，修筑围城的高台。

但和伦人参巴拉和官长亚扪人多比雅，以及阿拉伯人基善听说后，就讥笑我们，藐视我们，说：“你们在做什么？想要背叛王吗？”

因此，耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大的人发怒，把他们从祂面前赶走。后来，西底迦背叛了巴比伦王。在他执政第九年十月十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军攻打耶路撒冷，在城外扎营，修筑围城的高台。城一直被围困到西底迦执政第十一年。那年四月九日，城里饥荒非常严重，百姓无粮可吃。城被攻破，西底迦和士兵便在夜间穿过御花园，从两城墙中间的门逃往亚拉巴。当时迦勒底人仍四面包围着城。迦勒底的军队追赶西底迦，在耶利哥平原追上了他。他的军队都四散而逃。迦勒底人擒住西底迦，把他押到哈马的利比拉去见巴比伦王。巴比伦王在那里审判他，当着他的面杀了他的众子和犹大所有的首领，又剜去他的双眼，用铜链锁着他押往巴比伦，将他终生囚在牢里。巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒执政第十九年五月十日，他的臣仆——护卫长尼布撒拉旦进入耶路撒冷，放火焚烧耶和华的殿、王宫及城内所有的房屋。他烧毁了所有重要建筑。他率领的迦勒底的军队拆毁了耶路撒冷四围的城墙。护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去最贫穷的人、城中的余民、投降的人和剩下的技工，只留下一些最贫穷的人，让他们照料葡萄园、耕种田地。迦勒底人打碎耶和华殿中的铜柱、铜底座和铜海，把铜运往巴比伦，并带走了盆、铲、蜡剪、碗、碟及一切献祭用的铜器。护卫长还带走了杯、火鼎、碗、盆、灯台、碟和奠酒的杯等所有金银器皿。所罗门王为耶和华的殿所造的两根铜柱、一个铜海、铜海下面的十二头铜牛，以及一些铜底座，用的铜多得无法计算。两根铜柱中空，高八米，周长五点三米，铜壁厚四指。铜柱有柱冠，柱冠高二点三米，周围装饰着铜网和铜石榴。两根柱子都一样。每根铜柱周围装饰着九十六个石榴，网子四周共有一百个石榴。护卫长掳走祭司长西莱雅、副祭司长西番亚、三名殿门守卫，又从城中掳走一名将领、王的七个亲信、一名负责招兵的书记和六十名平民，把他们带到利比拉去见巴比伦王。巴比伦王在那里处死了他们。犹大人就这样被掳去，离开了家园。以下是尼布甲尼撒掳去的人数：他执政第七年掳去三千零二十三名犹大人；执政第十八年，从耶路撒冷掳去八百三十二人；执政第二十三年，他的护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去七百四十五名犹大人。总共四千六百人。犹大王约雅斤被掳后第三十七年，即巴比伦王以未·米罗达元年十二月二十五日，巴比伦王恩待约雅斤，释放了他，并好言相待，使他的地位高过被掳到巴比伦的其他各王。约雅斤脱去了囚服，终生与巴比伦王一起吃饭。在他有生之年，巴比伦王供应他每天的需用，直到他去世。

哈曼见末底改不肯向他跪拜，就怒气填胸。他得知末底改是犹太人后，便不屑于只害末底改一人，而是要铲除亚哈随鲁王国内所有的犹太人，即末底改的同胞。亚哈随鲁王十二年一月，即尼散月，有人在哈曼面前抽普珥，也就是抽签，来决定哪月哪日下手，结果抽中十二月，即亚达月。哈曼对亚哈随鲁王说：“有一个民族散居在王境内各省的众民族中，他们的律例与各族的律例不同，他们不遵守王的律例，所以容忍他们对王不利。

他们找不到保罗和西拉，就把耶孙和几个弟兄拉到当地官员面前，高喊：“那些搅乱天下的人到我们这里来了，耶孙接待了他们。他们违抗凯撒的命令，说另有一个王叫耶稣。”

城被攻破，城里的所有士兵便在夜间穿过御花园，从两城墙中间的门逃往亚拉巴。当时迦勒底人仍四面包围着城。

于是，其他总长和总督想在但以理的政务中找把柄控告他，却找不到任何把柄或过失，因为他诚实可靠，毫无过失。最后他们说：“除非我们从但以理上帝的律法下手，否则找不到指控他的把柄。”于是，这些总长和总督齐来见王，说：“愿大流士王万岁！所有总长、行政官、总督、谋士和省长都认为王应该下一道禁令，三十天内，任何人不得向王以外的神明或人祷告，违者必被扔进狮子坑。王啊，求你颁布、签署这道禁令，使之不可更改，正如玛代人和波斯人的律令是不可更改的。”于是大流士王签署了这道禁令。但以理知道王签署禁令后，就回到家里。他楼上的窗户朝向耶路撒冷，他像往常一样每日三次跪下向上帝祷告、感恩。那些官员一同来了，发现但以理向他的上帝祷告、祈求，便去见王，提及王的禁令，说：“王啊，你不是签署禁令，三十天内，任何人不得向王以外的神明或人祷告，违者必被扔进狮子坑吗？”王说：“确有此事，按照玛代人和波斯人的律，这禁令不可更改。”他们对王说：“王啊，被掳来的犹大人但以理不理会你和你的禁令，仍一日三次向他的上帝祈祷。”

王该知道，从王那里到我们这里来的犹太人已经去了耶路撒冷，如今正在重建这座叛逆、罪恶之城，正在重建地基，修筑城墙。
