2 Chronicles 36:10-20

10In the springH8666H8141,1 KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 summonedH7971 Jehoiachin and brought himH935 to BabylonH894, along withH5973 the articlesH3627 of valueH2532 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And he made Jehoiachin’s relativeH2512 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.

11ZedekiahH6667 was twenty-oneH6242H259 years oldH1121H8141 when he became kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 elevenH259H6240 yearsH8141. 12And he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 and did notH3808 humble himselfH3665 beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, who spokeH6310 for the LORDH3068.

13He alsoH1571 rebelledH4775 against KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, whoH834 had made him swearH7650 by GodH430. But Zedekiah stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203 and hardenedH5533 his heartH3824 against turningH7725 toH413 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 14FurthermoreH1571, allH3605 the leadersH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the peopleH5971 multipliedH7235 their unfaithful deedsH4603H4604, following allH3605 the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471, and they defiledH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 He had consecratedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.

15Again and againH7925H79714 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, sent wordH7971 toH5921 His people throughH3027 His messengersH4397 becauseH3588 He had compassionH2550 onH5921 them and onH5921 His dwelling placeH4583. 16But theyH1961 mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, despisingH959 His wordsH1697 and scoffingH8591 at His prophetsH5030, untilH5704 the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 against His peopleH5971H5704 was stirred upH5927 beyondH369 remedyH4832.

17So He brought upH5927 against themH5921 the kingH4428 of the ChaldeansH3778,5 who putH2026 their young menH970 to the swordH2719 in the sanctuaryH1004H4720, sparingH2550H5921 neitherH3808 young menH970 nor young womenH1330, neither elderlyH2205 nor infirmH3486. God gave themH5414 allH3605 into the handH3027 of Nebuchadnezzar, 18who carried offH935 everythingH3605 to BabylonH894—allH3605 the articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, both largeH1419 and smallH6996, and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and of the kingH4428 and his officialsH8269. 19Then the Chaldeans set fire toH8313 the houseH1004 of GodH430 and broke downH5422 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389. They burned downH8313H784 allH3605 the palacesH759 and destroyedH7843 everyH3605 articleH3627 of valueH4261.

20Those who escapedH7611 the swordH2719 were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exileH1540 inH413 BabylonH894, and they becameH1961 servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121 untilH5704 the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539 came to powerH4427.
