2 Chronicles 36:6–13

⁶Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up ^aagainst him and ^bbound him with bronze chains to lead him off to Babylon.

^7aNebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of Yahweh to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon.

^8aNow the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and ¹the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

Jehoiachin Reigns over Judah

^9aJehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

^10aAnd at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon with the valuable articles of the house of Yahweh, and he made his relative ^bZedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Zedekiah Reigns over Judah

^11aZedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

¹²And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God; ^ahe did not humble himself ^bbefore Jeremiah the prophet who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.

^13aHe also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. But ^bhe stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
