2 Chronicles 36:10-20
101At the turnH8666 of the yearH8141 KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971 men and had him broughtH935 to BabylonH894 with the valuableH2532 articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068; and he madeH4427 his relativeH251 2ZedekiahH6667 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
113ZedekiahH6667 was twenty-oneH6242H259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for elevenH259H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. 12He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 his GodH430; 4he did not humbleH3665 himself 5beforeH4480H6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 6who spokeH6310 for the LordH3068. 137He alsoH1571 rebelledH4775 against KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, whoH834 had made him swearH7650 allegiance by GodH430. But 8he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203 and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 againstH4480 turningH7725 to the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 14FurthermoreH1571, allH3605 the officialsH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the peopleH5971 wereH7235 veryH7235 unfaithfulH4604, following allH3605 the abominationsH8441 of the nationsH1471; and they defiledH2930 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He had sanctifiedH6942 in JerusalemH3389.
15Yet the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, 9sentH7971 word to them againH7925 and againH7971 by His messengersH4397, becauseH3588 He hadH2550 compassionH2550 on His peopleH5971 and on His dwellingH4583 placeH4583; 16but they continually 10mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, 11despisedH959 His wordsH1697, and scoffedH8591 at His prophetsH5030, 12untilH5704 the wrathH2534 of the LordH3068 roseH5927 against His peopleH5971, untilH5704 thereH369 wasH369 noH369 remedyH4832. 1713So He broughtH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 them the kingH4428 of the ChaldeansH3778, who killedH2026 their youngH970 menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and hadH2550 noH3808 compassionH2550 on youngH970 manH970 or virginH1330, oldH2205 manH2205 or frailH3486; He handedH5414H3027 them allH3605 overH5414 to him. 1814He broughtH935 allH3605 the articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, greatH1419 and smallH6996, and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the kingH4428 and his officersH8269, to BabylonH894. 19Then 15they burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of GodH430 and brokeH5422 downH5422 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and burnedH8313 allH3605 its fortifiedH759 buildingsH759 with fireH784 and destroyedH7843 allH3605 its valuableH4261 articlesH3627. 20He 16tookH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 thoseH7611 who had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 to BabylonH894; and 17they were servantsH5650 to him and to his sonsH1121 untilH5704 the ruleH4427 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539,
