2 Chronicles 36
- 1Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
- 2Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
- 3And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in about 4 tons of silver and 75 pounds of gold.
- 4And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
- 5Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
- 6Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in chains, to carry him to Babylon.
- 7Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the items of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
- 8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his disgusting practices which he did, and that which was found in him they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
- 9Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
- 10And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the fine items of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
- 11Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
- 12And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord.
- 13And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning to the Lord God of Israel.
- 14Also all the chief of the priests, and the people, rebelled very much after all the disgusting practices of the nations, and polluted the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
- 15And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early, and sending. Because he had compassion on his people, and on his home:
- 16But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
- 17Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldees, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or young woman, old man, or him who stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
- 18And all the items 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.
- 19And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the fine items of it.
- 20And those who had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon. Where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
- 21To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths. For as long as she lay waste she kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
- 22Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
- 23Cyrus king of Persia says this, All the kingdoms of the earth has the Lord God of heaven given me. He has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
