Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 the sonH1121 of Josiah,H2977 and made him kingH4427 in his father'sH1 steadH8478 in Jerusalem.H3389
2
JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in Jerusalem.H3389
3
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 putH5493 him downH5493 at Jerusalem,H3389 and condemnedH6064 the landH776 in an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and a talentH3603 of gold.H2091
4
And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 made EliakimH471 his brotherH251 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem,H3389 and turnedH5437 his nameH8034 to Jehoiakim.H3079 And NechoH5224 tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 his brother,H251 and carriedH935 him to Egypt.H4714
5
JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 elevenH259 H6240 yearsH8141 in Jerusalem:H3389 and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his God.H430
6
AgainstH5921 him cameH5927 up NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and boundH631 him in fetters,H5178 to carryH3212 him to Babylon.H894
7
NebuchadnezzarH5019 also carriedH935 of the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to Babylon,H894 and putH5414 them in his templeH1964 at Babylon.H894
8
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of Jehoiakim,H3079 and his abominationsH8441 whichH834 he did,H6213 and that which was foundH4672 in him, behold,H2009 they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and Judah:H3063 and JehoiachinH3078 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.H8478
9
JehoiachinH3078 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 and tenH6235 daysH3117 in Jerusalem:H3389 and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD.H3068
10
And when the yearH8141 was expired,H8666 kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019 sent,H7971 and broughtH935 him to Babylon,H894 with the goodlyH2532 vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and made ZedekiahH6667 his brotherH251 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem.H3389
11
ZedekiahH6667 was oneH259 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and reignedH4427 elevenH259 H6240 yearsH8141 in Jerusalem.H3389
12
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his God,H430 and humbledH3665 not himself beforeH6440 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 speaking from the mouthH6310 of the LORD.H3068
13
And he alsoH1571 rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 Nebuchadnezzar,H5019 whoH834 had made him swearH7650 by God:H430 but he stiffenedH7185 his neck,H6203 and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel.H3478
14
MoreoverH1571 allH3605 the chiefH8269 of the priests,H3548 and the people,H5971 transgressedH4603 very muchH7227 after allH3605 the abominationsH8441 of the heathen;H1471 and pollutedH2930 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 he had hallowedH6942 in Jerusalem.H3389
15
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1 sentH7971 to them by his messengers,H4397 risingH7925 up betimes,H7925 and sending;H7971 becauseH3588 he had compassionH2550 onH5921 his people,H5971 and onH5921 his dwellingH4583 place:
16
But they mockedH3931 the messengersH4397 of God,H430 and despisedH959 his words,H1697 and misusedH8591 his prophets,H5030 untilH5704 the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 aroseH5927 against his people,H5971 tillH5704 there was noH369 remedy.H4832
17
Therefore he broughtH5927 on them the kingH4428 of the Chaldees,H3778 who slewH2026 their youngH970 men with the swordH2719 in the houseH1004 of their sanctuary,H4720 and had noH3808 compassionH2550 on youngH970 man or maiden,H1330 oldH2205 man, or him that stoopedH3486 for age:H3486 he gaveH5414 them allH3605 into his hand.H3027
18
And allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of God,H430 greatH1419 and small,H6996 and the treasuresH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and the treasuresH214 of the king,H4428 and of his princes;H8269 allH3605 these he broughtH935 to Babylon.H894
19
And they burntH8313 the houseH1004 of God,H430 and brokeH5422 downH5422 the wallH2346 of Jerusalem,H3389 and burntH8313 allH3605 the palacesH759 thereof with fire,H784 and destroyedH7843 allH3605 the goodlyH4261 vesselsH3627 thereof.
20
And them that had escapedH7611 from the swordH2719 carriedH1473 he awayH1540 to Babylon;H894 where they were servantsH5650 to him and his sonsH1121 untilH5704 the reignH4427 of the kingdomH4438 of Persia:H6539
21
To fulfillH4390 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the mouthH6310 of Jeremiah,H3414 untilH5704 the landH776 had enjoyedH7521 her sabbaths:H7676 for as longH3117 as she lay desolateH8074 she keptH7673 sabbath,H7673 to fulfillH4390 three scoreH7657 and ten years.H8141
22
Now in the firstH259 yearH8141 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of Persia,H6539 that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 spoken by the mouthH6310 of JeremiahH3414 might be accomplished,H3615 the LORDH3068 stirredH5782 up the spiritH7307 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of Persia,H6539 that he made a proclamationH5674 H6963 throughout allH3605 his kingdom,H4438 and put it alsoH1571 in writing,H4385 saying,H559
23
ThusH3541 saidH559 CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of Persia,H6539 AllH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 has the LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064 givenH5414 me; and he has chargedH6485 me to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 in Jerusalem,H3389 whichH834 is in Judah.H3063 WhoH4310 is there among you of allH3605 his people?H5971 The LORDH3068 his GodH430 be with him, and let him goH5927 up.
