2 Kings 24:2-16

2The LordH3068 sentH7971 against him 1bandsH1416 of ChaldeansH3778, 2bandsH1416 of ArameansH758, 3bandsH1416 of MoabitesH4124, and bandsH1416 of AmmonitesH1121H5983. So He sentH7971 them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6 it, 4according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He had spokenH1696 throughH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030. 35SurelyH389 at the 6commandH6310 of the LordH3068 it cameH1961 upon JudahH3063, to removeH5493 them from His sightH6440 7because of the sinsH2403 of ManassehH4519, according to allH3605 that he had doneH6213, 4and 8alsoH1571 for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 whichH834 he shedH8210, for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; and the LordH3068 wouldH14 not forgiveH5545. 5Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079 and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of JudahH3063? 6So 9JehoiakimH3079 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 becameH4427 kingH4427 in his placeH8478. 710The kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 didH3254 not comeH3318 out of his landH776 againH5750H3254, 11for the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had takenH3947 allH3605 that belongedH1961 to the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 from 12the brookH5158 of EgyptH4714 to the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.

813JehoiachinH3078 was 14eighteenH8083H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was NehushtaH5179 the daughterH1323 of ElnathanH494 of JerusalemH3389. 9He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 15according to allH3605 that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.

10At that timeH6256 the servantsH5650 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 wentH5927 up to JerusalemH3389, and the cityH5892 cameH935 under siegeH4692. 11And NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 to the cityH5892, while his servantsH5650 were besiegingH6696H5921 it. 1216JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 out to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he and his motherH517 and his servantsH5650 and his captainsH8269 and his officialsH5631. So 17the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him captive in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. 1318He carriedH3318 out from thereH8033 allH3605 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and 19cutH7112 in piecesH7112 allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 20whichH834 SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 in the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had saidH1696. 14Then 21he ledH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 allH3605 JerusalemH3389 and allH3605 the captainsH8269 and allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH1368 of valorH2428, 22tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540, and 23allH3605 the craftsmenH2796 and the smithsH4525. NoneH3808 remainedH7604 24exceptH2108 the poorestH1803 peopleH5971 of the landH776.

15So 25he ledH1540 JehoiachinH3078 awayH1540 into exileH1540 to BabylonH894; also the king’sH4428 motherH517 and the king’sH4428 wivesH802 and his officialsH5631 and the leadingH193 menH193 of the landH776, he ledH1980 away into exileH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894. 16AllH3605 the menH376 of valorH2428, 26sevenH7651 thousandH505, and the craftsmenH2796 and the smithsH4525, one thousandH505, allH3605 strongH1368 and fitH6213 for warH4421, and these the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935 into exileH1473 to BabylonH894.
