2KI-24:1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and
Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and
rebelled against hi
2KI-24:2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees,
and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands
of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy
it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his
servants the prophets.
2KI-24:3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came [this] upon
Judah, to remove [them] out of his sight, for the sins of
Manasseh, according to all that he did;
2KI-24:4 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he
filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not
pardon.
2KI-24:5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he
did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Judah?
2KI-24:6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his
son reigned in his stead.
2KI-24:7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of
his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of
Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of
Egypt.
2KI-24:8 Jehoiachin [was] eighteen years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his
mother's name [was] Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of
Jerusalem.
2KI-24:9 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD, according to all that his father had done.
2KI-24:10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
2KI-24:11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the
city, and his servants did besiege it.
2KI-24:12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king
of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his
princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in
the eighth year of his reign.
2KI-24:13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the
house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and
cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of
Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
2KI-24:14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes,
and all the mighty men of valour, [even] ten thousand captives,
and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the
poorest sort of the people of the land.
2KI-24:15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the
king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the
mighty of the land, [those] carried he into captivity from
Jerusalem to Babylon.
2KI-24:16 And all the men of might, [even] seven thousand, and
craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all [that were] strong [and]
apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to
Babylon.
2KI-24:17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's
brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
2KI-24:18 Zedekiah [was] twenty and one years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2KI-24:19 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
2KI-24:20 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in
Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his
presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
