Babylon
Controls Jehoiakim |
|
|
 |
| 2 Kings 24:1 |
|
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years; then he turned and
rebelled against him. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:2 |
|
The LORD sent against him bands of Chaldeans,
bands of Arameans, bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. So He sent them
against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken
through His servants the prophets. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:3 |
|
Surely at the command of the LORD it came upon
Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according
to all that he had done, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:4 |
|
and also for the innocent blood which he shed,
for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD would not forgive. |
| |
|
|
| 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
Judah? |
| |
|
|

So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin
his son became king in his place. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:7 |
|
The king of Egypt did not come out of his land
again, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt
from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:8 |
|
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became
king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta
the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:9 |
|
He did evil in the sight of the LORD, according
to all that his father had done. |
| |

Deportation

|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:10 |
|
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon went up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:11 |
|
And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came
to the city, while his servants were besieging it. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:12 |
|
Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the
king of Babylon, he and his mother and his servants and his captains and his officials.
So the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:13 |
|
He carried out from there 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, just as the LORD had said. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:14 |
|
Then he led away into exile all Jerusalem and
all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all
the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained except the poorest people of the land. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:15 |
|
So he led Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon;
also the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading
men of the land, he led away into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:16 |
|
All the men of valor, seven thousand, and the
craftsmen and the smiths, one thousand, all strong and fit for war, and these
the king of Babylon brought into exile to Babylon. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Zedekiah
Made King |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:17 |
|
Then the king of Babylon made his uncle Mattaniah
king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:18 |
|
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became
king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal
the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 24:19 |
|
He did 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 this came
about in Jerusalem and Judah until He cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah
rebelled against the king of Babylon. |
