three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's
name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
[32] And he did that which was evil in the sight
of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
[33] And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands at
Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an
hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
[34] And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah
king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and
he came to Egypt, and died there.
[35] And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he
taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and
the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh.
[36]
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
[37] And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
2Kgs.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.
[2] And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees,
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 the LORD, which he spake by his servants
the prophets.
[3] Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out
of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
[4] And also for the innocent blood
that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
[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?
[6] So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
[7]
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from
the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
[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.
[9] And he did that which was evil in the sight of
the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
[10] At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
[11] And Nebuchadnezzar king
of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
[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.
[13] And he carried out thence 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 which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
[14] And
he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand
captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the
land.
[15] And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and
his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
[16]
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were
strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
[17] And the king of
Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
[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.
[19] And he did that which
was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
[20] For through the anger of
the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
2Kgs.25
[1] And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month,
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against
it; and they built forts against it round about.
[2] And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
Zedekiah.
[3] And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no
