2 Chronicles 36:11-21
11ZedekiahH6667 was twenty-one yearsH8141 old when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 eleven yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389.
12And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah his 1GodH430; he humbledH3665 not himself before the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 speaking from the mouthH6310 of Jehovah.
13And he alsoH1571 rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had madeH553 him take oathH7650 by 2GodH430; and he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH7185 his heartH3824 from returningH7725 to Jehovah the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
14All the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548 alsoH1571, and the peopleH5971, increasedH7235 their transgressions, according to all the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471; and they defiledH2930 the houseH1004 of Jehovah which he had hallowed in JerusalemH3389.
15And Jehovah the 4GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them by his messengersH4397, risingH7925 up earlyH7925 and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971 and on his dwelling-place.
16But they mocked at the messengersH4397 of 5GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and scoffed at his prophetsH5030, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his peopleH5971, and there was no remedy.
17And he broughtH5927 up [against] them the kingH4428 of the Chaldees, and slewH2026 their youngH970 menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and sparedH2550 not youngH970 manH2205 nor maiden, oldH2205 manH2205 nor him of hoary head: he gaveH5414 [them] all into his handH3027.
18And all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of 6GodH430, greatH1419 and smallH6996, and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the treasuresH214 of the kingH4428 and of his princesH8269, he broughtH935 all to BabylonH894.
19And they burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of 7GodH430, and brokeH5422 down the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and burnedH8313 all the palaces thereof with fireH784, and all the preciousH4261 vesselsH3627 thereof were given up to destruction.
20And them that had escaped from the swordH2719 he carried away to BabylonH894; and they becameH1961 servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121, until the reignH4438 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539;
21to fulfil the wordH1697 of Jehovah by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, until the landH776 had enjoyed its sabbathsH7676. All the daysH3117 of its desolation it kept sabbathH7676, to fulfil seventyH7657 yearsH8141.
