1Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, and madeH3947 him kingH4427 in his father’sH1 steadH8478 in JerusalemH3389. 2JoahazH3099 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 mouths in JerusalemH3389. 3And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 deposedH5493 him at JerusalemH3389, and amerced the landH776 in an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and a talentH3603 of goldH2091. 4And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 madeH5437 EliakimH471 his brotherH251 kingH4428 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and changedH5437 his nameH8034 to JehoiakimH3079. And NecoH5224 tookH3947 JoahazH3099 his brotherH251, and carriedH935 him to EgyptH4714. 5JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430. 6AgainstH5921 him cameH5927 upH5927 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and boundH631 him in fettersH5178, to carryH5927 him to BabylonH894. 7NebuchadnezzarH5019 also carriedH935 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to BabylonH894, and putH5414 them in his templeH1004 at BabylonH894. 8NowH2005 the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoiakimH3079, and his abominationsH8441 whichH834 he didH6213, and that whichH834 was foundH4672 in him, beholdH2005, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063: and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478. 9JehoiachinH3078 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in JerusalemH3389: and he didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 10And at the returnH935 of the yearH8141 kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sentH7971, and broughtH935 him to BabylonH894, with the goodly vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and madeH3627 ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4428 over JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389. 11ZedekiahH6667 was twentyH6242 and one yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427; and he reignedH4427 elevenH6240 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389: 12and he didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430; he humbledH3665 notH3808 himselfH3665 beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 speaking from the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. 13And he also rebelledH4775 againstH413 kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had madeH553 him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH7185 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 14MoreoverH1571 allH3605 the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, and the peopleH5971, trespassed veryH1571 greatlyH7235 after allH3605 the abominationsH8441 of the heathen; and they polluted the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 he had hallowed in JerusalemH3389. 15And the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, sentH7971 to them by his messengersH4397, risingH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 and sendingH7971; becauseH3588 he had compassionH2550 on his peopleH5971, and on his dwellingH4583 placeH3027: 16but they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of GodH430, and despisedH959 his wordsH1697, and scoffed at his prophetsH5030, untilH5704 the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 againstH5927 his peopleH5971, tillH5704 there was noH369 remedyH4832. 17Therefore he broughtH5927 uponH5921 them the kingH4428 of the ChaldeansH3778, who slewH2026 their youngH970 menH970 with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuaryH4720, and had noH3808 compassionH2550 uponH5921 youngH970 manH2205 or maiden, oldH2205 manH2205 or ancient: he gaveH5414 them allH3605 intoH5921 his handH3027. 18And allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, greatH1419 and smallH6996, and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the treasuresH214 of the kingH4428, and of his princesH8269; allH3605 theseH3605 he broughtH935 to BabylonH894. 19And they burntH8313 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and brake downH5422 the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, and burntH8313 allH3605 the palacesH759 thereof with fireH784, and destroyedH7843 allH3605 the goodly vesselsH3627 thereof. 20And them that had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 carriedH1540 he awayH1540 to BabylonH894; and they were servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121 untilH5704 the reignH4438 of the kingdomH4438 of PersiaH6539: 21to fulfillH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414, untilH5704 the landH776 had enjoyedH7521 herH3605 sabbathsH7676 for as longH5704 as sheH5704 lay desolateH8074 sheH5704 kept sabbathH7676, to fulfillH4390 threescore and ten yearsH8141. 22NowH1571 in the firstH259 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 might be accomplishedH3615, the LORDH3068 stirredH5782 upH5782 the spiritH7307 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, that he madeH3605 a proclamationH6963 throughoutH3605 allH3605 his kingdomH4438, and putH3615 it also in writingH4385, sayingH559, 23ThusH3541 saith CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, AllH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 hath the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of heavenH8064, givenH5414 meH5414; and he hath chargedH5927 meH5414 to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 in JerusalemH3389, whichH834 is in JudahH3063. Whosoever there is among youH834 of allH3605 his peopleH5971, the LORDH3068 his GodH430 be with him, and letH5414 him goH5927 upH5927.
