⁶Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon went up against him, and he bound him with bronze fetters to bring him to Babylon. ⁷And Nebuchadnezzar brought to Babylon the objects of the house of Yahweh and put them into the temple in Babylon. ⁸Now the remainder of the words of Jehoiakim and the detestable things that he did and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

⁹Jehoiachin was eighteen^c years old^d when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. ¹⁰And at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with objects of the treasure of the house of Yahweh. And he made Zedekiah his brother king in Judah and Jerusalem.

¹¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old^e when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. ¹²And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet who spoke for^f Yahweh. ¹³And he also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
