During Jehoiakim’s reign , Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became vassal for three years , until he turned and rebelled
And the LORD sent Chaldean , - - Aramean , - - Moabite , - - and Ammonite ... raiders - (in order) to destroy Judah , according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servants the prophets.
Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command , to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done ,
and also for the innocent - blood he had shed. For he had filled - Jerusalem with innocent blood , and the LORD was unwilling - to forgive.
As for the rest of the Acts - of Jehoiakim , along with all his accomplishments ... , are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles - ... of the Kings of Judah ?
And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers , and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again ... , because the king of Babylon had taken all - his territory ... ... , from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
Jehoiachin was eighteen ... years old ... when he became king , and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan ; she was from Jerusalem.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD , just as - his father had done.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem , and the city came under siege.
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it ....
Jehoiachin king of Judah , his mother , his servants , his commanders , and his officials (all) surrendered to the king of Babylon. ... So in the eighth year of his reign , the king of Babylon took him captive -.
As the LORD had declared , (Nebuchadnezzar) also carried off ... - all the treasures from the house of the LORD (and) the royal palace , and he cut into pieces - all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD.
He carried into exile - all Jerusalem — - all the commanders and mighty men of valor , all the craftsmen and metalsmiths — ten thousand captives (in all). Only - the poorest people of the land remained.
Nebuchadnezzar carried away - Jehoiachin to Babylon , as well as the king’s - mother , (his) - wives , his officials , and the leading men ... of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
- The king of Babylon also brought into exile to Babylon all seven thousand men of valor and a thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths — all strong and fit for battle.
Then the king of Babylon - made Mattaniah , (Jehoiachin’s) uncle , king in his place and changed - his name to Zedekiah.
Zedekiah was twenty-one ... years old ... when he became king , and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven ... years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah - ; she was from Libnah.
And (Zedekiah) did evil in the sight of the LORD , just as - Jehoiakim had done.
For because of the anger of the LORD , (all this) happened in Jerusalem and Judah , until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
