2 Kings 24:6–17

⁶So Jehoiakim ^lslept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. ⁷And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for ^mthe king of Babylon had taken from the ⁿriver of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

^8||Jehoiachin was ^oeighteen 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. ⁹And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all ^pthat his father had done. ^10*At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city ^†was besieged. ¹¹And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it. ¹²And ^qJehoiachin 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 ^rtook him in the eighth year of ^||his reign. ¹³And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and ^sthe treasures of the king’s house, and ^tcut in pieces all the vessels of gold which ^uSolomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, ^xas the Lord had said. ¹⁴And ^yhe carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ^zten thousand captives, and all ^athe craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save ^bthe poorest sort of the people of the land. ¹⁵And ^che carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his ^||officers, ^dand the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. ¹⁶And ^eall the men of might, even ^zseven 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. ^*17And ^fthe king of Babylon made Mattaniah ^ghis father’s brother king in his stead, and ^hchanged his name to Zedekiah.
