2 Chronicles 36:6–13

^6dNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in ⁴bronze fetters to ^ecarry him off to Babylon. ^7fNebuchadnezzar also carried off some of the articles from the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. ⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. Then ⁵Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

The Reign and Captivity of Jehoiachin

^9gJehoiachin was ⁶eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. ¹⁰At the turn of the year ^hKing Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and took him to Babylon, ⁱwith the costly articles from the house of the Lord, and made ^jZedekiah, ⁷⁸Jehoiakim’s brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Zedekiah Reigns in Judah

^11kZedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. ¹²He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and ^ldid not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the Lord. ¹³And he also ^mrebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath by God; but he ⁿstiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel.
