2Ki 25:1-11:
25 In the ninth year of Tsidkiyah’s (Zedekiah’s) reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar (Nebuchadnezzar) brought all his army to Yerushalem (Jerusalem). They made their camp outside the city, and then built attack structures all around it 2 and besieged the city for two years. 3 ⇔The people didn’t have enough to eat and the famine became severe. 4 Then the Babylonians began breaking into the city, but the local fighters sneaked out at night through a gate between two walls near the king’s garden and escaped down to the desert plain. 5 However, the Babylonian soldiers chased after the king and they overtook him on the Yeriho (Jericho) plains, and his army scattered. 6 King Tsidkiyah was captured and taken to the Babylonian king at Rivlah, where he was sentenced—7 He was forced to watch as his sons were slaughtered, then his eyes were gouged out and he was taken to Bavel (Babylon) restrained with two bronze chains.
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month of Babylonian King Nevukadnetsar’s (Nebuchadnezzar’s) nineteenth year as king, his servant Nevuzar-Adan, who was his chief bodyguard, went to Yerushalem (Jerusalem). 9 He set fire to Yahweh’s temple and the palace, and all of Yerushalem’s houses, so no important building remained. 10 Then the army under the command of Nevuzar-Adan tore down the walls surrounding Yerushalem. 11 He exiled all the rest of the people from the city, all the surrendered soldiers, and the rest of the population,
2Ch 36:17-21:
17 So Yahweh sent the Chaldean king against them, and the Kasdim (Chaldeans) ran Yehudah’s young men through with the sword, even in the temple, and they didn’t spare any of the young men or women, or even those who were older or elderly—God allowed Nevukadnetsar to thoroughly defeat them.[ref] 18 Then he took everything valuable, big or small, from God’s temple, as well as from the king and his officials. 19 They set God’s temple on fire,[ref] and tore down some of the wall surrounding Yerushalem, burnt all its palaces, and destroyed everything valuable. 20 Anyone else who was still alive was taken to Bavel (Babylon), where they became servants to the king and his children until the time when the Persians came to power. 21 That fulfilled God’s message that Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) had previously proclaimed, that the land would become desolate to make up for the Rest Days that had been ignored—that took seventy years.[ref]
2Ki 23:10:
10 Yoshiyah (Josiah) also desecrated the Tofet, which was in the Ben-Hinom valley, so that the people couldn’t sacrifice their children to Molek.
Jer 7:31:
31 They’ve built hilltop shrines to Tofet in Hinom Valley outside Yerushalem (Jerusalem)[ref] to burn their sons and daughters in fire—something I’ve never commanded or even considered.[ref]
Jer 7:30-31:
30 Yes, Yahweh says that Yehudah’s (Judah’s) people have done what I consider evil—putting disgusting things in the temple that’s associated with my name, and so have defiled it. 31 They’ve built hilltop shrines to Tofet in Hinom Valley outside Yerushalem (Jerusalem)[ref] to burn their sons and daughters in fire—something I’ve never commanded or even considered.[ref]
19:1-6:
⇔Take some of the elders and some of the priests,
and go and buy a clay flask from the potter.
2 Then go out to the Ben-Hinom Valley[ref] by the Broken Pottery Gate,
and then proclaim the words that I’ll tell you there.
3 Tell them:
You kings of Yehudah (Judah) and you residents of Yerushalem (Jerusalem),
Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god, Commander-in-chief Yahweh says,
Listen, I’m about to send calamity to this place,
and the ears of everyone who hears about it will tingle.
4 I’m doing that because they’ve abandoned me and defiled this place—
they’ve burnt incense to other ‘gods’,
that neither they or their ancestors or Yehudah’s kings used to know.
Then they’ve filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
5 They built hilltop shrines to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Ba’al,
something I never instructed or talked about, nor did it even enter my mind.[ref]
6 So Yahweh declares that the time is coming when this place will no longer be called Tofet or the Valley of Ben-Hinom, but rather, the ‘Slaughter Valley’.
Lev 18:21:
21 Don’t sacrifice your children to Molek so you don’t profane your god’s reputation.[ref] I am Yahweh.
