I. The Siege of Jerusalem (vv. 1-3).
1. The time (vv. 1. 2). It began on
the tenth day of the tenth month of
the ninth year or Zedekiah's reign, last-
ing about eighteen monthL The tenth
month, according to the Jew's calen-
dar, corresponds to our December-Jan-
uary, as their calendar began about
the middle of March. The reason the
exact time Is given Is that this was
to be an event of great importance
to tlm Jews in their exile. In their
gloomy exile God directed Ezekiel to
utter a parable unto the captives of
that day (Ezek. 24).
2. The method (v. 11). Nebuchad-
nezzar came in person with a large
army and encamped against Jerusalem,
building forts against It round about.
It is thought that several walls were
built around the city, shutting It in.
On the tops of these walls forts were
built from which missiles of destruc-
tion could he hurled by their engines
of war against the city. With the
city thus shut in, its fall was only a
question of time.
3. The famine (v, 3). Gelkle says,
"It was speedily followed, as is always
the case, with an outbreak of pesti.
lence. Food was well-nigh gone. There
had long been no bread, Mothers
were at last driven to murder and
eat their children. The richest citi-
zens wandered about searching for
scraps In the d~ng hills." Even out-
side the city the people were starving.
"There was no bread for the people
of the land." It Is estimated that
one-third of the people of Jerusalem
died of starvation.-
II. Zedsklah's Flight and Fate (vv.
4-7).
1. "The city was broken up" (v. 4).
The Chaldeans had succeeded In mak-
ing a~ opening In the wall so large
that they could make their way into
the city In spite of all that the He-
brews could do. Resistance was car-
tied on to the bitter end.
2. Zedeklah's flight (v. 4). The king
with his men of war fled by night to-
ward the plain. His object no doubt
was to cross the Jordan at Jericho
and hide In the mountains east of
the Jordan.
3. Zedeklah's fate (vv. 5-7).
a. He was overtaken in the plains
of Jericho (v. 5). As soon as the
Chaldean army discovered the flight
they pursued and captured him.
b. He was brought to the king of
Babylon at Riblah (v. fl). Riblah was
a town north of Damascus. It was
the king's headquarters from which he
directed his armies against Tyre and
Jerusalem. Before Nebuchadneszar
Zedekiah was tried as a criminal
e. His fate. His sons were slain In
his sight. His own eyes were put out.
He was bound with fetters of brass
and they carried him to Babylon where
he remained a prisoner to the day of
his death (Jer. 52:11).
Ill. Jsrusalem Deetroyvd (vv. 8-10).
The dismantling of the city was
delayed a month, perhaps awaiting In-
structions from Nebuchadnezzar who
was at Rlblah. The work of deetrue.
tlon was executed by the officer next
In rank to the kinl.
L They burnt the house of the Lord
(v. 9). Thls was the sacred temple
lmnt by Solomon, with additions and
alterations. Before burning it, they
plundered It of all Its sacred con-
tents.
2. Burnt the king's house (v. 9).
This was doubtless the palace built by
Solomon.
8. Burnt all the houses of Jeru-
salem (v. 9). The implication Is that
the common houses were left for the
people (v. 12).
4. They broke down the walls of
Jerusalem. The aim In this was to
render the walls useless as a means
of defense.
IV. The Disposition of the Temple
Furniture and Priests (vv, 18-21).
I. The temple furniture carried to
Babylon (vv. 13-17). The pillars of
brass and the brazen sea were broken
into pieces by the Babylonians and to.
gether with the utensils were carried
to Babylon.
2- Certain officers and priests taken
to Rlblah (vv. 18-21). These officers
and priests and three seore men of
the land were taken to Riblah, where
they were slain by the king of Babylon.
The events recorded In Second Kings
cover a period of 308 years. God had
said, "If thou wilt. then I will"; they
had Invited disaster by disobedience.

"Emblematic of all the soil and soul of Texas," was Governor
James V. Allred's description of the stirring ground-breaking
ceremony at Dallas October 12. which began construction on the
$1,200,000 State of Texas building at the Texas Centennial cen-
tral exposition. The top photo shows a comely Senorita greeting
the Governor with an armful of Texas Centennial roses, while the
lower catches the dynamite blast which broke ground for the
magnificent State building.

"Colds" are dangerous! Leading doctors tell us that fifty per cent of all disabling
diseases STARJ with a "common cold." Thus the cold germ becomes America's
Public Health Enemy Number One.
Any sudden change in temperature as you go from a warm room into a cold one
disturbs the heat-regulating apparatus ot the body and makes it susceptible to
cold germ attacks. Even the brief time that it takes to answer the telephone in an
unheated hall is sufficient. Fight against "colds." They create a condition of
depressed physical vitality which is favorable to infection and aid the progress
of serious organic diseases that frequently result in death.
The common cold germ
shows no raver. Invisible
but dangerous, this Num-
bet One Enemy ot Public
Health skulks like a ban-
dit of the night ready to
rob you o! good health.
If your home is inadequately heated . . . if you "huddle" in one room during
winter, sudden temperature changes are unavoidable. Your family goes from an
over-heated room where the temperature has climbed as much as ten degrees
past the point necessary for comfort, into a cold hall or adjoining room; then
shivering and chi, lled, they return to the heated room. This happens many times
a day. Each time it happens they have made themselves susceptible to highly
communicable winter diseases.
Fight colds this winter with proper ventilation and adequate heat in every room
in the home.
