The Reign and Captivity of Jehoiachin
8 jJehoiachin 2was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
10 kAt that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city 3was besieged. 11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, as his servants were besieging it. 12 lThen Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon, min the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
