10At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem and besieged the city.
11Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to the city while his servants were besieging it.
12Jehoiachin, king of Judah, along with his mother, his servants, his officials, and his eunuchs, went out to the king of Babylon, and the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.
13He carried off all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut into pieces all the gold objects that Solomon, king of Israel, had made for the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had declared.
14He deported all of Jerusalem—all the officials, the mighty warriors, ten thousand captives, as well as all the craftsmen and metalworkers. No one remained except for the poorest people of the land.
15He took Jehoiachin captive to Babylon, along with the king's mother, the king's wives, his officials, and the elite of the land; he led them as exiles from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16The king of Babylon also took into exile all the men of valor, seven thousand of them, along with one thousand craftsmen and metalworkers, all strong and fit for war.
