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
the
LORD
sent
against
him
bands
of
the
Chaldeans
and
bands
of
the
Syrians
and
bands
of
the
Moabites
and
bands
of
the
Ammonites,
and
sent
them
against
Judah
to
destroy
it,
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD
that
he
spoke
by
his
servants
the
prophets.
24:3 Surely
this
came
upon
Judah
at
the
command
of
the
LORD,
to
remove
them
out
of
his
sight,
for
the
sins
of
Manasseh,
according
to
all
that
he
had
done,
24:4 and
also
for
the
innocent
blood
that
he
had
shed.
For
he
filled
Jerusalem
with
innocent
blood,
and
the
LORD
would
not
pardon.
24:5 Now
the
rest
of
the
deeds
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
place.
24:7 And
the
king
of
Egypt
did
not
come
again
out
of
his
land,
for
the
king
of
Babylon
had
taken
all
that
belonged
to
the
king
of
Egypt
from
the
Brook
of
Egypt
to
the
river
Euphrates.
24:8 Jehoiachin
was
eighteen
years
old
when
he
became
king,
and
he
reigned
three
months
in
Jerusalem.
His
mother's
name
was
Nehushta
the
daughter
of
Elnathan
of
Jerusalem.
24:9 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
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
to
the
city
while
his
servants
were
besieging
it,
24:12 and
Jehoiachin
the
king
of
Judah
gave
himself
up
to
the
king
of
Babylon,
himself
and
his
mother
and
his
servants
and
his
officials
and
his
palace
officials.
The
king
of
Babylon
took
him
prisoner
in
the
eighth
year
of
his
reign
24:13 and
carried
off
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
in
the
temple
of
the
LORD,
which
Solomon
king
of
Israel
had
made,
as
the
LORD
had
foretold.
24:14 He
carried
away
all
Jerusalem
and
all
the
officials
and
all
the
mighty
men
of
valor,
10,000
captives,
and
all
the
craftsmen
and
the
smiths.
None
remained,
except
the
poorest
people
of
the
land.
24:15 And
he
carried
away
Jehoiachin
to
Babylon.
The
king's
mother,
the
king's
wives,
his
officials,
and
the
chief
men
of
the
land
he
took
into
captivity
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon.
24:16 And
the
king
of
Babylon
brought
captive
to
Babylon
all
the
men
of
valor,
7,000,
and
the
craftsmen
and
the
metal
workers,
1,000,
all
of
them
strong
and
fit
for
war.
24:17 And
the
king
of
Babylon
made
Mattaniah,
Jehoiachin's
uncle,
king
in
his
place,
and
changed
his
name
to
Zedekiah.
24:18 Zedekiah
was
twenty-one
years
old
when
he
became
king,
and
he
reigned
eleven
years
in
Jerusalem.
His
mother's
name
was
Hamutal
the
daughter
of
Jeremiah
of
Libnah.
24:19 And
he
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD,
according
to
all
that
Jehoiakim
had
done.
24:20 For
because
of
the
anger
of
the
LORD
it
came
to
the
point
in
Jerusalem
and
Judah
that
he
cast
them
out
from
his
presence.
And
Zedekiah
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Babylon.
