In his days{H3117} Nebuchadnezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} came up,{H5927} and Jehoiakim{H3079} became his servant{H5650} three{H7969} years:{H8141} then he turned{H7725} and rebelled{H4775} against him.

And Jehovah{H3068} sent{H7971} against him bands{H1416} of the Chaldeans,{H3778} and bands{H1416} of the Syrians,{H758} and bands{H1416} of the Moabites,{H4124} and bands{H1416} of the children{H1121} of Ammon,{H5983} and sent{H7971} them against Judah{H3063} to destroy{H6} it, according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} which he spake{H1696} by{H3027} his servants{H5650} the prophets.{H5030}

Surely at the commandment{H6310} of Jehovah{H3068} came this upon Judah,{H3063} to remove{H5493} them out of his sight,{H6440} for the sins{H2403} of Manasseh,{H4519} according to all that he did,{H6213}

and also for the innocent{H5355} blood{H1818} that he shed;{H8210} for he filled{H4390} Jerusalem{H3389} with innocent{H5355} blood:{H1818} and Jehovah{H3068} would{H14} not pardon.{H5545}

Now the rest{H3499} of the acts{H1697} of Jehoiakim,{H3079} and all that he did,{H6213} are they not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles{H1697} of the kings{H4428} of Judah?{H3063}

So Jehoiakim{H3079} slept{H7901} with his fathers;{H1} and Jehoiachin{H3078} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.

And the king{H4428} of Egypt{H4714} came{H3318} not again{H3254} any more out of his land;{H776} for the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} had taken,{H3947} from the brook{H5158} of Egypt{H4714} unto the river{H5104} Euphrates,{H6578} all that pertained to the king{H4428} of Egypt.{H4714}

Jehoiachin{H3078} was eighteen{H8083} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} in Jerusalem{H3389} three{H7969} months:{H2320} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Nehushta{H5179} the daughter{H1323} of Elnathan{H494} of Jerusalem.{H3389}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} according to all that his father{H1} had done.{H6213}

At that time{H6256} the servants{H5650} of Nebuchadnezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} came up{H5927} to Jerusalem,{H3389} and the city{H5892} was besieged.{H935}

And Nebuchadnezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} came{H935} unto the city,{H5892} while his servants{H5650} were besieging{H6696} it;

and Jehoiachin{H3078} the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} went out{H3318} to the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} he, and his mother,{H517} and his servants,{H5650} and his princes,{H8269} and his officers:{H5631} and the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} took{H3947} him in the eighth{H8083} year{H8141} of his reign.{H4427}

And he carried out{H3318} thence all the treasures{H214} of the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and the treasures{H214} of the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} and cut in pieces{H7112} all the vessels{H3627} of gold,{H2091} which Solomon{H8010} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} had made{H6213} in the temple{H1964} of Jehovah,{H3068} as Jehovah{H3068} had said.{H1696}

And he carried away{H1540} all Jerusalem,{H3389} and all the princes,{H8269} and all the mighty men{H1368} of valor,{H2428} even ten{H6235} thousand{H505} captives,{H1540} and all the craftsmen{H2796} and the smiths;{H4525} none remained,{H7604} save{H2108} the poorest sort{H1803} of the people{H5971} of the land.{H776}

And he carried away{H1540} Jehoiachin{H3078} to Babylon;{H894} and the king's{H4428} mother,{H517} and the king's{H4428} wives,{H802} and his officers,{H5631} and the chief{H352} men of the land,{H776} carried{H3212} he into captivity{H1473} from Jerusalem{H3389} to Babylon.{H894}

And all the men{H582} of might,{H2428} even seven{H7651} thousand,{H505} and the craftsmen{H2796} and the smiths{H4525} a thousand,{H505} all of them strong{H1368} and apt{H6213} for war,{H4421} even them the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} brought{H935} captive{H1473} to Babylon.{H894}

And the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} made Mattaniah,{H4983} [Jehoiachin's] father's brother,{H1730} king{H4427} is his stead, and changed{H5437} his name{H8034} to Zedekiah.{H6667}

Zedekiah{H6667} was twenty{H6242} and one{H259} years{H8141} old{H1121} when he began to reign;{H4427} and he reigned{H4427} eleven{H259} years{H8141} in Jerusalem:{H3389} and his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Hamutal{H2537} the daughter{H1323} of Jeremiah{H3414} of Libnah.{H3841}

And he did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} according to all that Jehoiakim{H3079} had done.{H6213}

For through the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} did it come to pass in Jerusalem{H3389} and Judah,{H3063} until he had cast them out{H7993} from his presence.{H6440} And Zedekiah{H6667} rebelled{H4775} against the king{H4428} of Babylon.{H894}
