因此，耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大发怒，以致把他们从自己面前赶出去。西底家背叛巴比伦王。西底家作王第九年十月初十，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军前来攻击耶路撒冷，对城安营，四围筑堡垒攻城。

但和伦人参巴拉、作臣仆的亚扪人多比雅和阿拉伯人基善听见就嗤笑我们，藐视我们，说：“你们所做的这事是什么呢？要背叛王吗？”

因此，耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大发怒，以致把他们从自己面前赶出去。西底家背叛巴比伦王，他作王第九年十月初十，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军前来攻击耶路撒冷，对着城安营，四围筑堡垒攻城，城被围困，直到西底家王十一年。四月初九，城里的饥荒非常严重，当地的百姓都没有粮食。城被攻破，士兵全都在夜间从靠近王园两城墙中间的门逃跑出城；迦勒底人正在四围攻城，他们就往亚拉巴逃去。迦勒底的军队追赶西底家王，在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全军都离开他溃散了。迦勒底人就拿住王，带他到哈马地利比拉的巴比伦王那里；巴比伦王就判他的罪。巴比伦王在西底家眼前杀了他的儿女，又在利比拉杀了犹大全体的官长，并且挖了西底家的眼睛，用铜链锁着他，带到巴比伦去，将他囚在监里，直到他死的日子。巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十，在巴比伦王面前侍立的尼布撒拉旦护卫长进入耶路撒冷，他焚烧了耶和华的殿、王宫和耶路撒冷的房屋；用火焚烧所有大户人家的房屋。跟随护卫长的迦勒底全军拆毁了耶路撒冷四围的城墙。那时尼布撒拉旦护卫长将百姓中最穷的和城里所剩下的百姓，并那些投降巴比伦王的人，以及剩下的工匠，都掳去了。但尼布撒拉旦护卫长留下一些当地最穷的人，叫他们修整葡萄园，耕种田地。耶和华殿的铜柱并殿内的盆座和铜海，迦勒底人都打碎了，把那些铜运到巴比伦去；他们又带走锅、铲子、钳子、盘子、勺子，和供奉用的一切铜器；杯、火盆、碗、锅、灯台、勺子、酒杯，无论金的银的，护卫长都带走了；还有所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱、一面铜海，并座下的十二只铜牛，这些器皿的铜多得无法可秤。至于柱子，这一根柱子高十八肘，厚四指，周围十二肘，中间是空的；柱上有铜顶，每个铜顶高五肘；铜顶的周围有网子和石榴，也都是铜的。另一根柱子与此相同，也有石榴。柱子四面有九十六个石榴，在网子周围，总共有一百个石榴。护卫长拿住西莱雅大祭司、西番亚副祭司和门口的三个守卫，又从城中拿住一个管理士兵的官，并在城里找到王面前的七个亲信，和召募当地百姓之将军的书记官，以及在城中找到的六十个当地百姓。尼布撒拉旦护卫长把这些人带到利比拉的巴比伦王那里。巴比伦王击杀他们，在哈马地的利比拉把他们处死。这样，犹大人就被掳去离开本地。这是尼布甲尼撒所掳百姓的数目：他在位第七年掳去犹大人三千零二十三人；尼布甲尼撒十八年从耶路撒冷掳去八百三十二人；尼布甲尼撒二十三年，尼布撒拉旦护卫长掳去犹大人七百四十五人；共有四千六百人。巴比伦王以未‧米罗达作王的元年，就是犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年十二月二十五日，他使犹大王约雅斤抬起头来，提他出监，对他说好话，使他的位高过与他一同被掳、在巴比伦众王的位；又给他脱了囚服，使他终身常在巴比伦王面前吃饭。巴比伦王赐给他日常需用的食物，日日一份，终身都是这样，直到他死的日子。

哈曼见末底改不跪不拜，就非常愤怒。有人把末底改的宗族告诉哈曼。哈曼看下手只害末底改一人是小事，还图谋要灭绝亚哈随鲁王全国所有的犹太人，就是末底改的宗族。亚哈随鲁王十二年正月，就是尼散月，人在哈曼面前抽普珥，普珥即签，要定何月何日；抽到了十二月，就是亚达月。哈曼对亚哈随鲁王说：“有一民族散居在王国各省的民族中，与众不同；他们的律例与万民的律例不同，也不守王的律例，所以容留他们对王无益。

那些人找不着他们，就把耶孙和几个弟兄拉到地方官那里，喊叫着：“这些搅乱天下的人也到这里来了，耶孙竟收留他们。这些人都违背凯撒的命令，说另有一个王耶稣。”

城被攻破，士兵全都在夜间从靠近王的花园、两城墙中间的门逃跑。迦勒底人正在四围攻城，王就往亚拉巴逃去。

信上写着：“列国中有风声，基善也说，你和犹太人谋反，所以你建造城墙。据说，你要作他们的王，

那时，总长和总督在治国的事务上寻找但以理的把柄，为要控告他；只是找不到任何的把柄和过失，因他忠心办事，毫无错误过失。那些人就说：“我们要找但以理的把柄，若不从他神的律法中下手，就寻不着。”于是，总长和总督纷纷聚集来见王，说：“大流士王万岁！国中的总长、钦差、总督、谋士和省长彼此商议，求王下旨，立一条禁令，三十天之内，不拘何人，若在王以外，或向神明或向人求什么，就必扔在狮子坑中。王啊，现在求你立这禁令，在这文件上签署，使它不能更改；照玛代人和波斯人的例，绝不更动。”于是大流士王在这禁令的文件上签署。但以理知道这文件已经签署，就进自己的家，他家楼上的窗户开向耶路撒冷。他一天三次，双膝跪着，在他的神面前祷告感谢，像平常一样。于是，那些人纷纷聚集，发现但以理在他神面前祈祷恳求。他们就进到王面前，向王提及禁令，说：“三十天之内不拘何人，若在王以外，或向神明或向人求什么，必被扔在狮子坑中，王不是在这禁令上签署了吗？”王回答说：“确有这事，照玛代人和波斯人的例是不可更改的。”他们对王说：“王啊，那被掳的犹大人但以理不理会你，也不遵守你签署的禁令，竟一天三次祈祷。”

请王知道，从王那里上到我们这里的犹太人，已经抵达耶路撒冷。他们正在重建这反叛恶劣的城，已经完成了城墙，正要修复根基。
