Then the people <H5971> of the land <H0776> took <H3947> Jehoahaz <H3059> the son <H1121> of Josiah, <H2977> and made him king <H4427> in his father's <H0001> stead in Jerusalem. <H3389>
2
Jehoahaz <H3099> [was] twenty <H6242> and three <H7969> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> three <H7969> months <H2320> in Jerusalem. <H3389>
3
And the king <H4428> of Egypt <H4714> put him down <H5493> at Jerusalem, <H3389> and condemned <H6064> the land <H0776> in an hundred <H3967> talents <H3603> of silver <H3701> and a talent <H3603> of gold. <H2091>
4
And the king <H4428> of Egypt <H4714> made Eliakim <H0471> his brother <H0251> king <H4427> over Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem, <H3389> and turned <H5437> his name <H8034> to Jehoiakim. <H3079> And Necho <H5224> took <H3947> Jehoahaz <H3099> his brother, <H0251> and carried <H0935> him to Egypt. <H4714>
5
Jehoiakim <H3079> [was] twenty <H6242> and five <H2568> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> eleven <H0259> <H6240> years <H8141> in Jerusalem: <H3389> and he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> his God. <H0430>
6
Against him came up <H5927> Nebuchadnezzar <H5019> king <H4428> of Babylon, <H0894> and bound <H0631> him in fetters, <H5178> to carry <H3212> him to Babylon. <H0894>
7
Nebuchadnezzar <H5019> also carried <H0935> of the vessels <H3627> of the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> to Babylon, <H0894> and put <H5414> them in his temple <H1964> at Babylon. <H0894>
8
Now the rest <H3499> of the acts <H1697> of Jehoiakim, <H3079> and his abominations <H8441> which he did, <H6213> and that which was found <H4672> in him, behold, they [are] written <H3789> in the book <H5612> of the kings <H4428> of Israel <H3478> and Judah: <H3063> and Jehoiachin <H3078> his son <H1121> reigned <H4427> in his stead.
9
Jehoiachin <H3078> [was] eight <H8083> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> three <H7969> months <H2320> and ten <H6235> days <H3117> in Jerusalem: <H3389> and he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD. <H3068>
10
And when the year <H8141> was expired, <H8666> king <H4428> Nebuchadnezzar <H5019> sent, <H7971> and brought <H0935> him to Babylon, <H0894> with the goodly <H2532> vessels <H3627> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and made Zedekiah <H6667> his brother <H0251> king <H4427> over Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem. <H3389>
11
Zedekiah <H6667> [was] one <H0259> and twenty <H6242> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and reigned <H4427> eleven <H0259> <H6240> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389>
12
And he did <H6213> [that which was] evil <H7451> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD <H3068> his God, <H0430> [and] humbled <H3665> not himself before <H6440> Jeremiah <H3414> the prophet <H5030> [speaking] from the mouth <H6310> of the LORD. <H3068>
13
And he also rebelled <H4775> against king <H4428> Nebuchadnezzar, <H5019> who had made him swear <H7650> by God: <H0430> but he stiffened <H7185> his neck, <H6203> and hardened <H0553> his heart <H3824> from turning <H7725> unto the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel. <H3478>
14
Moreover all the chief <H8269> of the priests, <H3548> and the people, <H5971> transgressed <H4603> very <H4604> much <H7235> after all the abominations <H8441> of the heathen; <H1471> and polluted <H2930> the house <H1004> of the LORD <H3068> which he had hallowed <H6942> in Jerusalem. <H3389>
15
And the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of their fathers <H0001> sent <H7971> to them by <H3027> his messengers, <H4397> rising up betimes, <H7925> and sending; <H7971> because he had compassion <H2550> on his people, <H5971> and on his dwelling place: <H4583>
16
But they mocked <H3931> the messengers <H4397> of God, <H0430> and despised <H0959> his words, <H1697> and misused <H8591> his prophets, <H5030> until the wrath <H2534> of the LORD <H3068> arose <H5927> against his people, <H5971> till [there was] no remedy. <H4832>
17
Therefore he brought <H5927> upon them the king <H4428> of the Chaldees, <H3778> who slew <H2026> their young men <H0970> with the sword <H2719> in the house <H1004> of their sanctuary, <H4720> and had no compassion <H2550> upon young man <H0970> or maiden, <H1330> old man, <H2205> or him that stooped for age: <H3486> he gave <H5414> [them] all into his hand. <H3027>
18
And all the vessels <H3627> of the house <H1004> of God, <H0430> great <H1419> and small, <H6996> and the treasures <H0214> of the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> and the treasures <H0214> of the king, <H4428> and of his princes; <H8269> all [these] he brought <H0935> to Babylon. <H0894>
19
And they burnt <H8313> the house <H1004> of God, <H0430> and brake down <H5422> the wall <H2346> of Jerusalem, <H3389> and burnt <H8313> all the palaces <H0759> thereof with fire, <H0784> and destroyed <H7843> all the goodly <H4261> vessels <H3627> thereof.
20
And them that had escaped <H7611> from the sword <H2719> carried he away <H1540> to Babylon; <H0894> where they were servants <H5650> to him and his sons <H1121> until the reign <H4427> of the kingdom <H4438> of Persia: <H6539>
21
To fulfil <H4390> the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> by the mouth <H6310> of Jeremiah, <H3414> until the land <H0776> had enjoyed <H7521> her sabbaths: <H7676> [for] as long as <H3117> she lay desolate <H8074> she kept sabbath, <H7673> to fulfil <H4390> threescore and ten <H7657> years. <H8141>
22
Now in the first <H0259> year <H8141> of Cyrus <H3566> king <H4428> of Persia, <H6539> that the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> [spoken] by the mouth <H6310> of Jeremiah <H3414> might be accomplished, <H3615> the LORD <H3068> stirred up <H5782> the spirit <H7307> of Cyrus <H3566> king <H4428> of Persia, <H6539> that he made a proclamation <H5674> <H6963> throughout all his kingdom, <H4438> and [put it] also in writing, <H4385> saying, <H0559>
23
Thus saith <H0559> Cyrus <H3566> king <H4428> of Persia, <H6539> All the kingdoms <H4467> of the earth <H0776> hath the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of heaven <H8064> given <H5414> me; and he hath charged <H6485> me to build <H1129> him an house <H1004> in Jerusalem, <H3389> which [is] in Judah. <H3063> Who [is there] among you of all his people? <H5971> The LORD <H3068> his God <H0430> [be] with him, and let him go up. <H5927>
