2 Chronicles 36:5-21

51JehoiakimH3079 was twenty-fiveH6242H2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for elevenH259H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 his GodH430. 6NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH5927 upH5927 2againstH5921 him and 3boundH631 him with bronzeH5178 chains to takeH1980 him to BabylonH894. 74NebuchadnezzarH5019 also broughtH935 some of the articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 to BabylonH894, and he putH5414 them in his templeH1964 in BabylonH894. 85Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079 and 6the abominationsH8441 whichH834 he committedH6213, and what was foundH4672 againstH5921 him, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063. And his sonH1121 JehoiachinH3078 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.

97JehoiachinH3078 was 8eighteenH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in JerusalemH3389. He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 109At 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 10ZedekiahH6667 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.

1111ZedekiahH6667 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; 12he did not humbleH3665 himself 13beforeH4480H6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 14who spokeH6310 for the LordH3068. 1315He alsoH1571 rebelledH4775 against KingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, whoH834 had made him swearH7650 allegiance by GodH430. But 16he 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, 17sentH7971 word to them againH7925 and againH7971 by His messengersH4397, becauseH3588 He hadH2550 compassionH2550 on His peopleH5971 and on His dwellingH4583 placeH4583; 16but they continually 18mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, 19despisedH959 His wordsH1697, and scoffedH8591 at His prophetsH5030, 20untilH5704 the wrathH2534 of the LordH3068 roseH5927 against His peopleH5971, untilH5704 thereH369 wasH369 noH369 remedyH4832. 1721So 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. 1822He 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 23they 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 24tookH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 thoseH7611 who had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 to BabylonH894; and 25they were servantsH5650 to him and to his sonsH1121 untilH5704 the ruleH4427 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539, 2126to fulfillH4390 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, untilH5704 27the landH776 had enjoyedH7521 its SabbathsH7676. 28AllH3605 the daysH3117 of its desolationH8074 it keptH7673 theH7673 SabbathH7673 2930until seventyH7657 yearsH8141 were completeH4390.
