- Babylonians:
- "Also, thou¹ sonª of man,ª appointª° thee twoª ways,ª that the swordª of the kingª of Babylonª may come:ª° both twainª shall come forthª° out of one² land:ª¹¹ and chooseª° thou a place,ª chooseª° [it] at the headª of the wayª to the city.ª ... I will¹ overturn,ª overturn,ª overturn,ª it: and¹ it¹ shall be²°¹ no¹ [more], until¹ he comeª° whose¹ rightª it is; and I will giveª° it [him]." {Ezk 21:19-27} + "Then cameª° Isaiahª the prophetª unto¹ kingª Hezekiah,ª and saidª° unto¹ him, What¹ saidª° these¹ men?²¹ and from whenceª¹ cameª° they unto¹ thee? And Hezekiahª said,ª° They are comeª° from a far² country,ª¹¹ [even] from Babylon.ª¹ ... Behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° that all¹ that¹ [is] in thine house,ª and that which¹ thy fathersª have laid up in storeª° unto¹ this¹ day,ª shall be carriedª° into Babylon:ª nothingª¹ shall be left,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {2Kg 20:14-17} + "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] Nebuchadnezzarª kingª of Babylonª came,ª° he,¹ and all¹ his host,ª against¹ Jerusalem,ª and pitchedª° against¹ it; and they builtª° fortsª against¹ it round about.ª ... And on the ninthª [day] of the [fourth] monthª the famineª prevailedª° in the city,ª and there was¹ no¹ breadª for the peopleª of the land.ª" {2Kg 25:1-3}
