TSK · Deuteronomy 28:36

There you will worship gods made by human hands– wood and stone that can neither see, hear, eat, nor smell.

But if you continue to do evil, both you and your king will be swept away.”

In the ninth year of Hoshea’s reign, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the people of Israel to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, along the Habor(the river of Gozan), and in the cities of the Medes.

They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he passed sentence on him.

The king of Babylon ordered them to be executed at Riblah in the territory of Hamath. So Judah was deported from its land.

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked him, bound him with bronze chains, and carried him away to Babylon.

He deported to Babylon all who escaped the sword. They served him and his sons until the Persian kingdom rose to power.

So then, listen to what I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, say.‘I will make these people eat the bitter food of suffering and drink the poison water of judgment.

“‘For the LORD has spoken about Shallum son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but was carried off into exile. He has said,“He will never return to this land.

“I, the LORD, also solemnly assert:‘King Zedekiah of Judah, his officials, and the people who remain in Jerusalem or who have gone to live in Egypt are like those bad figs. I consider them to be just like those bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten.

But the Babylonian army chased after the king. They caught up with Zedekiah in the rift valley plains of Jericho, and his entire army deserted him.

ר(Resh) Our very life breath– the LORD’s anointed king– was caught in their traps, of whom we thought,“Under his protection we will survive among the nations.”

“The prince who is among them will raise his belongings onto his shoulder in darkness, and will go out. He will dig a hole in the wall to leave through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land with his eyes.

“‘As for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Each of you go and serve your idols, if you will not listen to me. But my holy name will not be profaned again by your sacrifices and your idols.
