81JehoiachinH3078 was 2eighteenH8083H6240 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, 3according 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. 124JehoiachinH3078 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 5the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him captive in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. 136He carriedH3318 out from thereH8033 allH3605 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and 7cutH7112 in piecesH7112 allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 8whichH834 SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 in the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had saidH1696. 14Then 9he ledH1540 awayH1540 into exileH1540 allH3605 JerusalemH3389 and allH3605 the captainsH8269 and allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH1368 of valorH2428, 10tenH6235 thousandH505 captivesH1540, and 11allH3605 the craftsmenH2796 and the smithsH4525. NoneH3808 remainedH7604 12exceptH2108 the poorestH1803 peopleH5971 of the landH776.

15So 13he 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, 14sevenH7651 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. 1715Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 madeH4427 16his uncleH1730 MattaniahH4983 kingH4427 in his placeH8478, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
