2 Kings 24:6–17

⁶And Jehoiakim lieth with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigneth in his stead. ⁷And the king of Egypt hath not added any more to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon hath taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Phrat, all that had been to the king of Egypt.

⁸A son of eighteen years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem, ⁹and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did. ¹⁰At that time come up have servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city goeth into siege, ¹¹and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon cometh against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it, ¹²and Jehoiachin king of Judah goeth out unto the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon taketh him in the eighth year of his reign, ¹³and bringeth out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cutteth in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had spoken. ¹⁴And he hath removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty ones of valour—ten thousand is the removal—and every artificer and smith, none hath been left save the poor of the people of the land. ¹⁵And he removeth Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land—he hath caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon, ¹⁶and all the men of valour seven thousand, and the artificers and the smiths a thousand, the whole are mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon bringeth them in a captivity to Babylon. ¹⁷And the king of Babylon causeth Mattaniah his father’s brother to reign in his stead, and turneth his name to Zedekiah.
