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.
24:2 And
Jehovah
sent
against
him
bands
of
the
Chaldeans,
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
Jehovah,
which
he
spake
by
his
servants
the
prophets.
24:3 Surely
at
the
commandment
of
Jehovah
came
this
upon
Judah,
to
remove
them
out
of
his
sight,
for
the
sins
of
Manasseh,
according
to
all
that
he
did,
24:4 and
also
for
the
innocent
blood
that
he
shed;
for
he
filled
Jerusalem
with
innocent
blood:
and
Jehovah
would
not
pardon.
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
24:6 So
Jehoiakim
slept
with
his
fathers;
and
Jehoiachin
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
24:7 And
the
king
of
Egypt
came
not
again
any
more
out
of
his
land;
for
the
king
of
Babylon
had
taken,
from
the
brook
of
Egypt
unto
the
river
Euphrates,
all
that
pertained
to
the
king
of
Egypt.
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
Nehushta
the
daughter
of
Elnathan
of
Jerusalem.
24:9 And
he
did
that
which
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
according
to
all
that
his
father
had
done.
24:10 At
that
time
the
servants
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
up
to
Jerusalem,
and
the
city
was
besieged.
24:11 And
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
came
unto
the
city,
while
his
servants
were
besieging
it;
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.
24:13 And
he
carried
out
thence
all
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
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
Jehovah,
as
Jehovah
had
said.
24:14 And
he
carried
away
all
Jerusalem,
and
all
the
princes,
and
all
the
mighty
men
of
valor,
even
ten
thousand
captives,
and
all
the
craftsmen
and
the
smiths;
none
remained,
save
the
poorest
sort
of
the
people
of
the
land.
24:15 And
he
carried
away
Jehoiachin
to
Babylon;
and
the
king's
mother,
and
the
king's
wives,
and
his
officers,
and
the
chief
men
of
the
land,
carried
he
into
captivity
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon.
24:16 And
all
the
men
of
might,
even
seven
thousand,
and
the
craftsmen
and
the
smiths
a
thousand,
all
of
them
strong
and
apt
for
war,
even
them
the
king
of
Babylon
brought
captive
to
Babylon.
24:17 And
the
king
of
Babylon
made
Mattaniah,
[Jehoiachin's]
father's
brother,
king
is
his
stead,
and
changed
his
name
to
Zedekiah.
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.
24:19 And
he
did
that
which
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
Jehovah,
according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim
had
done.
24:20 For
through
the
anger
of
Jehovah
did
it
come
to
pass
in
Jerusalem
and
Judah,
until
he
had
cast
them
out
from
his
presence.
And
Zedekiah
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Babylon.
