1
H5971
Then the people
H776
of the land
H3947 [H8799]
took
H3059
Jehoahaz
H1121
the son
H2977
of Josiah,
H4427 [H8686]
and made him king
H1
in his father's
H3389
stead in Jerusalem.
2
H3099
Jehoahaz
H6242
was twenty
H7969
and three
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H7969
three
H2320
months
H3389
in Jerusalem.
3
H4428
And the king
H4714
of Egypt
H5493 [H8686]
deposed him
H3389
at Jerusalem,
H6064 [H8799]
and imposed a fine on
H776
the land
H3967
of an hundred
H3603
talents
H3701
of silver
H3603
and a talent
H2091
of gold.
4
H4428
And the king
H4714
of Egypt
H471
made Eliakim
H251
his brother
H4427 [H8686]
king
H3063
over Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem,
H5437 [H8686]
and changed
H8034
his name
H3079
to Jehoiakim.
H5224
And Necho
H3947 [H8804]
took
H3099
Jehoahaz
H251
his brother,
H935 [H8686]
and carried
H4714
him to Egypt.
5
H3079
Jehoiakim
H6242
was twenty
H2568
and five
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H259 H6240
eleven
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem:
H6213 [H8799]
and he did
H7451
that which was evil
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD
H430
his God.
6
H5927 [H8804]
Against him came up
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon,
H631 [H8799]
and bound
H5178
him in fetters,
H3212 [H8687]
to carry
H894
him to Babylon.
7
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar
H935 [H8689]
also carried
H3627
of the vessels
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD
H894
to Babylon,
H5414 [H8799]
and put
H1964
them in his temple
H894
at Babylon.
8
H3499
Now the rest
H1697
of the acts
H3079
of Jehoiakim,
H8441
and his abominations
H6213 [H8804]
which he did,
H4672 [H8737]
and that which was found
H3789 [H8803]
in him, behold, they are written
H5612
in the book
H4428
of the kings
H3478
of Israel
H3063
and Judah:
H3078
and Jehoiachin
H1121
his son
H4427 [H8799]
reigned in his stead.
9
H3078
Jehoiachin
H8083
was eight
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H7969
three
H2320
months
H6235
and ten
H3117
days
H3389
in Jerusalem:
H6213 [H8799]
and he did
H7451
that which was evil
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD.
10
H8141
And when the year
H8666
had ended,
H4428
king
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar
H7971 [H8804]
sent,
H935 [H8686]
and brought
H894
him to Babylon,
H2532
with the precious
H3627
vessels
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H6667
and made Zedekiah
H251
his brother
H4427 [H8686]
king
H3063
over Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem.
11
H6667
Zedekiah
H259
was one
H6242
and twenty
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and reigned
H259 H6240
eleven
H8141
years
H3389
in Jerusalem.
12
H6213 [H8799]
And he did
H7451
that which was evil
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD
H430
his God,
H3665 [H8738]
and humbled
H6440
not himself at the face of
H3414
Jeremiah
H5030
the prophet
H6310
speaking from the mouth
H3068
of the LORD.
13
H4775 [H8804]
And he also rebelled
H4428
against king
H5019
Nebuchadnezzar,
H7650 [H8689]
who had made him swear
H430
by God:
H7185 [H8686]
but he stiffened
H6203
his neck,
H553 [H8762]
and hardened
H3824
his heart
H7725 [H8800]
from turning
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel.
14
H8269
Moreover all the chief
H3548
of the priests,
H5971
and the people,
H4603 [H8800]
committed treachery,
H7235 [H8689]
much
H4604
treachery,
H8441
after all the abominations
H1471
of the nations;
H2930 [H8762]
and polluted
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD
H6942 [H8689]
which he had hallowed
H3389
in Jerusalem.
15
H3068
And the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H3027
to them by
H4397
his messengers,
H7925 [H8687]
rising up early,
H7971 [H8800]
and sending;
H2550 [H8804]
because he had commiseration
H5971
on his people,
H4583
and on his dwelling place:
16
H3931 [H8688]
But they mocked
H4397
the messengers
H430
of God,
H959 [H8802]
and despised
H1697
his words,
H8591 [H8700]
and misused
H5030
his prophets,
H2534
until the hot anger
H3068
of the LORD
H5927 [H8800]
arose
H5971
against his people,
H4832
till there was no remedy.
17
H5927 [H8686]
Therefore he brought
H4428
upon them the king
H3778
of the Chaldees,
H2026 [H8799]
who slew
H970
their young men
H2719
with the sword
H1004
in the house
H4720
of their sanctuary,
H2550 [H8804]
and had no commiseration
H970
upon young man
H1330
or virgin,
H2205
old man,
H3486
or him that stooped for age:
H5414 [H8804]
he gave
H3027
them all into his hand.
18
H3627
And all the vessels
H1004
of the house
H430
of God,
H1419
great
H6996
and small,
H214
and the treasures
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H214
and the treasures
H4428
of the king,
H8269
and of his princes;
H935 [H8689]
all these he brought
H894
to Babylon.
19
H8313 [H8799]
And they burnt
H1004
the house
H430
of God,
H5422 [H8762]
and broke down
H2346
the wall
H3389
of Jerusalem,
H8313 [H8804]
and burnt
H759
all its palaces
H784
with fire,
H7843 [H8687]
and decayed
H4261
all its precious
H3627
vessels.
20
H7611
And them that had escaped
H2719
from the sword
H1540 [H8686]
he carried away
H894
to Babylon;
H5650
where they were servants
H1121
to him and his sons
H4427 [H8800]
until the reign
H4438
of the kingdom
H6539
of Persia:
21
H4390 [H8763]
To fulfil
H1697
the word
H3068
of the LORD
H6310
by the mouth
H3414
of Jeremiah,
H776
until the land
H7521 [H8804]
had enjoyed
H7676
its sabbaths:
H3117
for as long as
H8074 [H8715]
it lay desolate
H7673 [H8804]
it kept sabbath,
H4390 [H8763]
to fulfil
H7657
seventy
H8141
years.
22
H259
Now in the first
H8141
year
H3566
of Cyrus
H4428
king
H6539
of Persia,
H1697
that the word
H3068
of the LORD
H6310
spoken by the mouth
H3414
of Jeremiah
H3615 [H8800]
might be accomplished,
H3068
the LORD
H5782 [H8689]
stirred up
H7307
the spirit
H3566
of Cyrus
H4428
king
H6539
of Persia,
H5674 H6963 [H8686]
that he made a proclamation
H4438
throughout all his kingdom,
H4385
and put it also in writing,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
23
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3566
Cyrus
H4428
king
H6539
of Persia,
H4467
All the kingdoms
H776
of the earth
H3068
hath the LORD
H430
God
H8064
of heaven
H5414 [H8804]
given
H6485 [H8804]
me; and he hath charged
H1129 [H8800]
me to build
H1004
him an house
H3389
in Jerusalem,
H3063
which is in Judah.
H5971
Who is there among you of all his people?
H3068
The LORD
H430
his God
H5927 [H8799]
be with him, and let him go up.
