2 Chronicles 36:1-13
11Then the people of the land took 23Joahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in place of his father in Jerusalem. 2Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3Then the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed on the land a fine of one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold. 4The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But 4Neco took Joahaz his brother and brought him to Egypt.
55Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord his God. 6Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up 6against him and 7bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon. 78Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon. 89Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and 10the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
911Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 1012At the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon with the valuable articles of the house of the Lord, and he made his kinsman 13Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
1114Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 12He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God; 15he did not humble himself 16before Jeremiah the prophet 17who spoke for the Lord. 1318He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. But 19he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel.
