Book 12 2 Kings Chapter 024

 

024:001In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and
Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and
rebelled against him.

 

024:002And 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.

 

024:003Surely 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;

 

024:004And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled
Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not
pardon.

 

024:005Now 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?

 

024:006So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son
reigned in his stead.

 

024:007And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land:
for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto
the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

 

024:008Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and
he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name
was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

 

024:009And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that his father had done.

 

024:010At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

 

024:011And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and
his servants did besiege it.

 

024:012And 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.

 

024:013And 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.

 

024:014And 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.

 

024:015And 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.

 

024:016And 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.

 

024:017And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother
king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

 

024:018Zedekiah 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.

 

024:019And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

 

024:020For 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.
