- in the ninth:
- This according to the computation of Archbishop Usher, was on Thursday, January 30th, am 3414, which was a sabbatical year; wherein they proclaimed liberty to their servants, according to the law, but soon enthralled them again (see "[This is] the wordª that¹ came¹ unto¹ Jeremiahª from¹¹ the LORD,ª after² that¹ the kingª Zedekiahª had madeª° a covenantª with¹ all¹ the peopleª which¹ [were] at Jerusalem,ª to proclaimª° libertyª unto them; ... Now when all¹ the princes,ª and all¹ the people,ª which¹ had enteredª° into the covenant,ª heardª° that every oneª should let¹ his manservant,ª and every oneª¹ his maidservant,ª goª° free,ª that none¹ should serveª° themselves of them any more,¹ then they obeyed,ª° and let [them] go.ª°" {Jer 34:8-10}). "Therefore he broughtª° upon¹ them¹ the kingª of the Chaldees,ª who slewª° their young menª with the swordª in the houseª of their sanctuary,ª and had no compassionª°¹ upon¹ young manª or maiden,ª old man,ª or him that stooped for age:ª he gaveª° [them] all¹ into his hand.ª ... To fulfilª° the wordª of the LORDª by the mouthª of Jeremiah,ª until¹ the landª had enjoyedª°¹ her sabbaths:ª [for] as long asª¹ she lay desolateª° she kept sabbath,ª° to fulfilª° threescore and tenª years.ª" {2Ch 36:17-21} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª the Godª of Israel;ª Goª° and speakª° to¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª and tellª°¹ him, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ I will giveª°¹ this¹ cityª into the handª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and he shall burnª° it with fire:ª" {Jer 34:2} + "And thou¹ shalt not¹ escape¹ out²° of his hand,ª¹ but¹ shalt surely²° be taken,ª° and deliveredª° into his hand;ª and thine eyesª shall beholdª°¹ the eyesª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and he shall speakª° with¹ thee mouthª to mouth,ª and thou shalt goª° to Babylon.ª ... Then Jeremiahª the prophetª spakeª°¹ all¹ these¹ wordsª unto¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judahª in Jerusalem,ª" {Jer 34:3-6} + "In the ninthª yearª of Zedekiahª kingª of Judah,ª in the tenthª month,ª cameª° Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª and all¹ his armyª against¹ Jerusalem,ª and they besiegedª° it. ... But Nebuzaradanª the captainª of the guardª leftª° of the poorª of¹ the people,ª which¹ had nothing,ª¹ in the landª of Judah,ª and gaveª° them vineyardsª and fieldsª at the same¹ time.ª" {Jer 39:1-10} + "And it came to pass¹ in the ninthª yearª of his reign,ª° in the tenthª month,ª in the tenthª [day] of the month,ª [that] Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª came,ª° he¹ and all¹ his army,ª against¹ Jerusalem,ª and pitchedª° against¹ it, and builtª° fortsª against¹ it round about.ª" {Jer 52:4} + "So²° the cityª was besiegedª¹ unto¹ the eleventhªª yearª of kingª Zedekiah.ª ... Then he put outª° the eyesª of Zedekiah;ª and the kingª of Babylonª boundª° him in chains,ª and carriedª° him to Babylon,ª and putª° him in prisonªª till¹ the dayª of his death.ª" {Jer 52:5-11} + "Again in the ninthª year,ª in the tenthª month,ª in the tenthª [day] of the month,ª the wordª of the LORDª came¹ unto¹ me, saying,ª°" {Ezk 24:1} + "Sonª of man,ª writeª° thee¹ the nameª of the day,ª¹ [even] of this¹ sameª day:ª the kingª of Babylonª setª° himself against¹ Jerusalemª this¹ sameª day.ª ... I¹ the LORDª have spokenª° [it]: it shall come to pass,ª° and I will doª° [it]; I will not¹ go back,ª° neither¹ will I spare,ª° neither¹ will I repent;ª° according to thy ways,ª and according to thy doings,ª shall they judgeª° thee, saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 24:2-14}
