2 Chronicles 36:10-20

10And when the yearH8141 was expiredH8666, kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894, with the goodlyH2532 vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and made ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4427 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.123

11ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 elevenH6240H259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. 12And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068 his GodH430, and humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 speaking from the mouthH6310 of YhwhH3068. 13And he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

14Moreover all the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, transgressedH4603 veryH4604 muchH7235 after all the abominationsH8441 of the heathenH1471; and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 which he had hallowedH6942 in JerusalemH3389. 15And YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them byH3027 his messengersH4397, rising up betimesH7925, and sendingH7971; because he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwelling placeH4583:45 16But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and misusedH8591 his prophetsH5030, until the wrathH2534 of YhwhH3068 aroseH5927 against his peopleH5971, till there was no remedyH4832.6 17Therefore he broughtH5927 upon them the kingH4428 of the ChaldeesH3778, who slewH2026 their young menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and had no compassionH2550 upon young manH970 or maidenH1330, old manH2205, or him that stooped for ageH3486: he gaveH5414 them all into his handH3027. 18And all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, greatH1419 and smallH6996, and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the kingH4428, and of his princesH8269; all these he broughtH935 to BabylonH894. 19And they burntH8313 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and brake downH5422 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and burntH8313 all the palacesH759 thereof with fireH784, and destroyedH7843 all the goodlyH4261 vesselsH3627 thereof. 20And them that had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 carried he awayH1540 to BabylonH894; where they were servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121 until the reignH4427 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539:7
