[[Jer-20]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Jer-19]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Jer-21]] --- ### I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill them with the sword. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jeremiah predicts the total conquest of Judah by the Babylonian Empire, including the deportation and execution of its people. *Historical context*: This was historically fulfilled during the sieges of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar II in 597 BC and 586 BC. Historical records in the Babylonian Chronicles and the biblical account in [[2 Kings|2 Kings 24]]-25 confirm the mass deportation of Jews to Babylon and the execution of many officials. *Related to*: ### Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jeremiah predicts the systematic looting of Jerusalem's wealth, including the temple treasures and the royal treasury, to be transported to Babylon. *Historical context*: The fulfillment is documented in [[2 Kings-24#v13|2 Kings 24:13]] and 25:13-17, which describe the Babylonians stripping the Temple of Solomon and the royal palace of gold, silver, and bronze vessels and carrying them to Babylon as plunder following the city's fall. *Related to*: ### You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A personal prophecy against Pashhur son of Immer, predicting his forced exile, his death, and his burial in Babylon along with his household. *Historical context*: While secular records do not specifically name Pashhur's death, the historical deportation of the Judean temple hierarchy and administrative elite (the 'paqid nagid' class to which Pashhur belonged) is well-attested in the Babylonian records of high-status captives from the 597 BC and 586 BC deportations. Archaeological evidence, such as the bulla of his brother Gedalyahu, confirms the existence of this priestly family in the late First Temple period. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
