因此耶和華的怒氣在耶路撒冷和猶大發作，以致將人民從自己的面前趕出。西底家背叛巴比倫王。他作王第九年十月初十日，巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒率領全軍來攻擊耶路撒冷，對城安營，四圍築壘攻城。於是城被圍困直到西底家王十一年。四月初九日，城裏有大饑荒，甚至百姓都沒有糧食。城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜間從靠近王園兩城中間的門，出城逃跑；迦勒底人正在四圍攻城。他們就往亞拉巴逃去。迦勒底的軍隊追趕西底家王，在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全軍都離開他四散了。迦勒底人就拿住王，帶他到在哈馬地利比拉的巴比倫王那裏；巴比倫王便審判他。巴比倫王在西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，又在利比拉殺了猶大的一切首領，並且剜了西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖着他，帶到巴比倫去，將他囚在監裏，直到他死的日子。巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日，在巴比倫王面前侍立的護衛長尼布撒拉旦進入耶路撒冷，用火焚燒耶和華的殿和王宮，又焚燒耶路撒冷的房屋，就是各大戶家的房屋。跟從護衛長迦勒底的全軍就拆毀耶路撒冷四圍的城牆。那時護衛長尼布撒拉旦將民中最窮的和城裏所剩下的百姓，並已經投降巴比倫王的人，以及大眾所剩下的人，都擄去了。但護衛長尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最窮的，使他們修理葡萄園，耕種田地。耶和華殿的銅柱並殿內的盆座和銅海，迦勒底人都打碎了，將那銅運到巴比倫去了，又帶去鍋、鏟子、蠟剪、盤子、調羹，並所用的一切銅器、杯、火鼎、碗、盆、燈臺、調羹、爵，無論金的銀的，護衛長也都帶去了。所羅門為耶和華殿所造的兩根銅柱、一個銅海，並座下的十二隻銅牛，這一切的銅多得無法可稱。這一根柱子高十八肘，厚四指，是空的，圍十二肘。柱上有銅頂，高五肘；銅頂的周圍有網子和石榴，都是銅的。那一根柱子照此一樣，也有石榴。柱子四面有九十六個石榴，在網子周圍，共有一百石榴。護衛長拿住大祭司西萊雅、副祭司西番亞，和三個把門的，又從城中拿住一個管理兵丁的官，並在城裏所遇常見王面的七個人和檢點國民軍長的書記，以及城裏所遇見的國民六十個人。護衛長尼布撒拉旦將這些人帶到利比拉的巴比倫王那裏。巴比倫王就把他們擊殺在哈馬地的利比拉。這樣，猶大人被擄去離開本地。尼布甲尼撒所擄的民數記在下面：在他第七年擄去猶大人三千零二十三名；尼布甲尼撒十八年從耶路撒冷擄去八百三十二人；尼布甲尼撒二十三年，護衛長尼布撒拉旦擄去猶大人七百四十五名；共有四千六百人。猶大王約雅斤被擄後三十七年，巴比倫王以未‧米羅達元年十二月二十五日，使猶大王約雅斤擡頭，提他出監，又對他說恩言，使他的位高過與他一同在巴比倫眾王的位，給他脫了囚服。他終身在巴比倫王面前吃飯。巴比倫王賜他所需用的食物，日日賜他一分，終身是這樣，直到他死的日子。 (cunpt)

哈曼見末底改不跪不拜，他就怒氣填胸。他們已將末底改的本族告訴哈曼；他以為下手害末底改一人是小事，就要滅絕亞哈隨魯王通國所有的猶大人，就是末底改的本族。亞哈隨魯王十二年正月，就是尼散月，人在哈曼面前，按日日月月掣普珥，就是掣籤，要定何月何日為吉，擇定了十二月，就是亞達月。哈曼對亞哈隨魯王說：「有一種民散居在王國各省的民中；他們的律例與萬民的律例不同，也不守王的律例，所以容留他們與王無益。 (cunpt)
