36:1 The
people
of
the
land
took
Jehoahaz
the
son
of
Josiah
and
made
him
king
in
his
father's
place
in
Jerusalem.
36:2 Jehoahaz
was
twenty-three
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
three
months
in
Jerusalem.
36:3 Then
the
king
of
Egypt
deposed
him
in
Jerusalem
and
laid
on
the
land
a
tribute
of
a
hundred
talents
of
silver
and
a
talent
of
gold.
36:4 And
the
king
of
Egypt
made
Eliakim
his
brother
king
over
Judah
and
Jerusalem,
and
changed
his
name
to
Jehoiakim.
But
Neco
took
Jehoahaz
his
brother
and
carried
him
to
Egypt.
36:5 Jehoiakim
was
twenty-five
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem.
He
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
his
God.
36:6 Against
him
came
up
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
and
bound
him
in
chains
to
take
him
to
Babylon.
36:7 Nebuchadnezzar
also
carried
part
of
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
the
LORD
to
Babylon
and
put
them
in
his
palace
in
Babylon.
36:8 Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Jehoiakim,
and
the
abominations
that
he
did,
and
what
was
found
against
him,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
and
Judah.
And
Jehoiachin
his
son
reigned
in
his
place.
36:9 Jehoiachin
was
eighteen
years
old
when
he
became
king,
and
he
reigned
three
months
and
ten
days
in
Jerusalem.
He
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD.
36:10 In
the
spring
of
the
year
King
Nebuchadnezzar
sent
and
brought
him
to
Babylon,
with
the
precious
vessels
of
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
made
his
brother
Zedekiah
king
over
Judah
and
Jerusalem.
36:11 Zedekiah
was
twenty-one
years
old
when
he
began
to
reign,
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem.
36:12 He
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
his
God.
He
did
not
humble
himself
before
Jeremiah
the
prophet,
who
spoke
from
the
mouth
of
the
LORD.
36:13 He
also
rebelled
against
King
Nebuchadnezzar,
who
had
made
him
swear
by
God.
He
stiffened
his
neck
and
hardened
his
heart
against
turning
to
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel.
36:14 All
the
officers
of
the
priests
and
the
people
likewise
were
exceedingly
unfaithful,
following
all
the
abominations
of
the
nations.
And
they
polluted
the
house
of
the
LORD
that
he
had
made
holy
in
Jerusalem.
36:15 The
LORD,
the
God
of
their
fathers,
sent
persistently
to
them
by
his
messengers,
because
he
had
compassion
on
his
people
and
on
his
dwelling
place.
36:16 But
they
kept
mocking
the
messengers
of
God,
despising
his
words
and
scoffing
at
his
prophets,
until
the
wrath
of
the
LORD
rose
against
his
people,
until
there
was
no
remedy.
36:17 Therefore
he
brought
up
against
them
the
king
of
the
Chaldeans,
who
killed
their
young
men
with
the
sword
in
the
house
of
their
sanctuary
and
had
no
compassion
on
young
man
or
virgin,
old
man
or
aged.
He
gave
them
all
into
his
hand.
36:18 And
all
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
great
and
small,
and
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
the
LORD,
and
the
treasures
of
the
king
and
of
his
princes,
all
these
he
brought
to
Babylon.
36:19 And
they
burned
the
house
of
God
and
broke
down
the
wall
of
Jerusalem
and
burned
all
its
palaces
with
fire
and
destroyed
all
its
precious
vessels.
36:20 He
took
into
exile
in
Babylon
those
who
had
escaped
from
the
sword,
and
they
became
servants
to
him
and
to
his
sons
until
the
establishment
of
the
kingdom
of
Persia,
36:21 to
fulfill
the
word
of
the
LORD
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah,
until
the
land
had
enjoyed
its
Sabbaths.
All
the
days
that
it
lay
desolate
it
kept
Sabbath,
to
fulfill
seventy
years.
36:22 Now
in
the
first
year
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
that
the
word
of
the
LORD
by
the
mouth
of
Jeremiah
might
be
fulfilled,
the
LORD
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
so
that
he
made
a
proclamation
throughout
all
his
kingdom
and
also
put
it
in
writing:
36:23 "Thus
says
Cyrus
king
of
Persia,
'The
LORD,
the
God
of
heaven,
has
given
me
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth,
and
he
has
charged
me
to
build
him
a
house
at
Jerusalem,
which
is
in
Judah.
Whoever
is
among
you
of
all
his
people,
may
the
LORD
his
God
be
with
him.
Let
him
go
up.'"
