2 Kings 24:1
|

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came
up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled
against him. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:2 |

And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees,
and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children
of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of
the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:3 |
|
Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this
upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according
to all that he did; |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:4 |
|
And also for the innocent blood that he shed:
for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:5 |
|
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all
that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of

his son reigned in his stead. |
| |

the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:8 |
|
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began
to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was

And he did that which was evil in the sight
of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. |
|

king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. |
|
|

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against
the city, and his servants did besiege it. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:12 |
|
And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to
the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and
his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:13 |
|
And he carried out thence all the treasures
of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces
all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of
the LORD, as the LORD had said. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:14 |
|
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the
princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all
the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of
the land. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:15 |
|
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and
the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the
land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:16 |
|
And all the men of might, even seven thousand,
and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even
them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:17 |
|
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's
brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:18 |
|
Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:19 |
|
And he did that which was evil in the sight
of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:20 |
|
For through the anger of the LORD it came to
pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. |
