1In his days3117 Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 came up5927, and Jehoiakim3079 became his servant5650 three7969 years8141: then he turned7725 and rebelled4775 against him.
2And the LORD3068 sent7971 against him bands1416 of the Chaldees3778, and bands1416 of the Syrians758, and bands1416 of the Moabites4124, and bands1416 of the children1121 of Ammon5983, and sent7971 them against Judah3063 to destroy6 it, according to the word1697 of the LORD3068, which he spake1696 by3027 his servants5650 the prophets5030.
3Surely at the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 came this upon Judah3063, to remove5493 them out of his sight6440, for the sins2403 of Manasseh4519, according to all that he did6213;
4And also for the innocent5355 blood1818 that he shed8210: for he filled4390 Jerusalem3389 with innocent5355 blood1818; which the LORD3068 would14 not pardon5545.
5Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Jehoiakim3079, and all that he did6213, are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Judah3063?
6So Jehoiakim3079 slept7901 with his fathers1: and Jehoiachin3078 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
7And the king4428 of Egypt4714 came3318 not again3254 any more out of his land776: for the king4428 of Babylon894 had taken3947 from the river5158 of Egypt4714 unto the river5104 Euphrates6578 all that pertained to the king4428 of Egypt4714.
8Jehoiachin3078 was eighteen8083 6240 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 in Jerusalem3389 three7969 months2320. And his mother's517 name8034 was Nehushta5179, the daughter1323 of Elnathan494 of Jerusalem3389.
9And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, according to all that his father1 had done6213.
10At that time6256 the servants5650 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 came up5927 against Jerusalem3389, and the city5892 was besieged935 4692.
11And Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 came935 against the city5892, and his servants5650 did besiege6696 it.
12And Jehoiachin3078 the king4428 of Judah3063 went out3318 to the king4428 of Babylon894, he, and his mother517, and his servants5650, and his princes8269, and his officers5631: and the king4428 of Babylon894 took3947 him in the eighth8083 year8141 of his reign4427.
13And he carried out3318 thence all the treasures214 of the house1004 of the LORD3068, and the treasures214 of the king's4428 house1004, and cut in pieces7112 all the vessels3627 of gold2091 which Solomon8010 king4428 of Israel3478 had made6213 in the temple1964 of the LORD3068, as the LORD3068 had said1696.
14And he carried away1540 all Jerusalem3389, and all the princes8269, and all the mighty men1368 of valour2428, even ten6235 thousand505 captives1540, and all the craftsmen2796 and smiths4525: none remained7604, save2108 the poorest sort1803 of the people5971 of the land776.
15And he carried away1540 Jehoiachin3078 to Babylon894, and the king's4428 mother517, and the king's4428 wives802, and his officers5631, and the mighty352 193 of the land776, those carried3212 he into captivity1473 from Jerusalem3389 to Babylon894.
16And all the men582 of might2428, even seven7651 thousand505, and craftsmen2796 and smiths4525 a thousand505, all that were strong1368 and apt6213 for war4421, even them the king4428 of Babylon894 brought935 captive1473 to Babylon894.
17And the king4428 of Babylon894 made Mattaniah4983 his father's brother1730 king4427 in his stead, and changed5437 his name8034 to Zedekiah6667.
18Zedekiah6667 was twenty6242 and one259 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 eleven259 6240 years8141 in Jerusalem3389. And his mother's517 name8034 was Hamutal2537, the daughter1323 of Jeremiah3414 of Libnah3841.
19And he did6213 that which was evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, according to all that Jehoiakim3079 had done6213.
20For through the anger639 of the LORD3068 it came to pass in Jerusalem3389 and Judah3063, until he had cast them out7993 from his presence6440, that Zedekiah6667 rebelled4775 against the king4428 of Babylon894.
