[1]In his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927[H8804], and JehoiakimH3079 became his servantH5650 threeH7969 yearsH8141: then he turnedH7725[H8799] and rebelledH4775 against himH8799.
[2]And the LORDH3068 sentH7971[H8762] against him bandsH1416 of the ChaldeesH3778, and bandsH1416 of the SyriansH758, and bandsH1416 of the MoabitesH4124, and bandsH1416 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and sentH7971[H8762] them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6[H8687] it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696[H8765] byH3027 his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
[3]Surely at the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 came this upon JudahH3063, to removeH5493[H8687] them out of his sightH6440, for the sinsH2403 of ManassehH4519, H6213according to all that he didH8804
[4]And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210[H8804]: for he filledH4390[H8762] JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14[H8804] not pardonH5545.[H8800]
[5]Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and all that he didH6213[H8804], are they not writtenH3789[H8803] in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697[H3117] of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063?
[6]So JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901[H8799] with his fathersH1: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8799.
[7]And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 cameH3318[H8800] not againH3254[H8689] any more out of his landH776: for the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had takenH3947[H8804] from the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714 unto the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 all that pertained to the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
[8]JehoiachinH3078 was eighteenH8083[H6240] yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427[H8800], and he reignedH4427[H8804] in JerusalemH3389 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was NehushtaH5179, the daughterH1323 of ElnathanH494 of JerusalemH3389.
[9]And he didH6213[H8799] that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.[H8804]
[10]At that timeH6256 the servantsH5650 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came upH5927[H8804] against JerusalemH3389, and the cityH5892 was besiegedH935[H8799].[H4692]
[11]And NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935[H8799] against the cityH5892, and his servantsH5650 did besiegeH6696 itH8802.
[12]And JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318[H8799] to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, and his motherH517, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and his officersH5631: and the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947[H8799] him in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427.[H8800]
[13]And he carried outH3318[H8686] thence all the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and cut in piecesH7112[H8762] all the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 which SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213[H8804] in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696.[H8765]
[14]And he carried awayH1540[H8689] all JerusalemH3389, and all the princesH8269, and all the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, even tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540[H8802], and all the craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525: none remainedH7604[H8738], saveH2108 the poorest sortH1803 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
[15]And he carried awayH1540[H8686] JehoiachinH3078 to BabylonH894, and the king'sH4428 motherH517, and the king'sH4428 wivesH802, and his officersH5631, and the mightyH352[H8675][H193] of the landH776, those carriedH3212[H8689] he into captivityH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894.
[16]And all the menH582 of mightH2428, even sevenH7651 thousandH505, and craftsmenH2796 and smithsH4525 a thousandH505, all that were strongH1368 and aptH6213[H8802] for warH4421, even them the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935[H8686] captiveH1473 to BabylonH894.
[17]And the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 made MattaniahH4983 his father's brotherH1730 kingH4427[H8686] in his stead, and changedH5437[H8686] his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
[18]ZedekiahH6667 was twentyH6242 and oneH259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427[H8800], and he reignedH4427[H8804] elevenH259[H6240] yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HamutalH2537, the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841.
[19]And he didH6213[H8799] that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, according to all that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213.[H8804]
[20]For through the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, until he had cast them outH7993[H8689] from his presenceH6440, that ZedekiahH6667 rebelledH4775[H8799] against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
