2 Kings 24:8-20
81JehoiachinH3078 was 2eighteenH8083H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for 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, 3in accordance with allH3605 that his fatherH1 had doneH6213.
10At that timeH6256 the servantsH5650 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 wentH5927 upH5927 to JerusalemH3389, and the cityH5892 cameH935 under siegeH4692. 11And NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 to the cityH5892, while his servantsH5650 were besiegingH6696H5921 it. 12Then 4JehoiachinH3078 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 outH3318 to the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, he, his motherH517, his servantsH5650, his commandersH8269, and his officialsH5631. And 5the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 him prisoner in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. 136He also broughtH3318 outH3318 from thereH8033 allH3605 the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and he 7smashedH7112 allH3605 the articlesH3627 of goldH2091 8thatH834 SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had madeH6213 in the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had saidH1696. 14Then 9he ledH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 allH3605 the people of JerusalemH3389 and allH3605 the commandersH8269 and allH3605 the valiantH2428 warriorsH1368, 10tenH6235 thousandH505 exilesH1540, and 11allH3605 the craftsmenH2796 and the smithsH4525. NoneH3808 were leftH7604 12exceptH2108 the poorestH1803 peopleH5971 of the landH776.
15So 13he ledH1540 JehoiachinH3078 intoH1540 exileH1540 to BabylonH894; also the king’sH4428 motherH517, the king’sH4428 wivesH802, and his officialsH5631 and the leadingH193 menH193 of the landH776, he ledH1980 into exileH1473 from JerusalemH3389 to BabylonH894. 16And allH3605 the valiantH2428 menH376, 14sevenH7651 thousandH505, and the craftsmenH2796 and the smithsH4525, a thousandH505, allH3605 strongH1368 and fitH6213 for warH4421, these too the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 broughtH935 into exileH1473 to BabylonH894. 1715Then the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 madeH4427 16his uncleH1730 MattaniahH4983 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to ZedekiahH6667.
1817ZedekiahH6667 was twenty-oneH6242H259 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and he reignedH4427 for elevenH259H6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389; and his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was 18HamutalH2537 the daughterH1323 of JeremiahH3414 of LibnahH3841. 19He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 19in accordance with everythingH3605 that JehoiakimH3079 had doneH6213. 20For it was 20dueH5921 to the angerH639 of the LordH3068 that this happenedH1961 in JerusalemH3389 and JudahH3063, untilH5704 He castH7993 them outH7993 of His presenceH6440. And 21ZedekiahH6667 revoltedH4775 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
