1During his reign an attack was launched by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and Jehoiakim became his vassal; three years later, however, he broke with him and revolted.
2The LORD sent against him raiding parties of Chaldaeans, Aramaeans, Moabites, and Ammonites, letting them range through Judah and ravage it, as the LORD had foretold through his servants the prophets.
3All this happened to Judah in fulfilment of the LORD's purpose, to banish them from his presence because of all the sin Manasseh had committed
4and because of the innocent blood he had shed; he had flooded Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not forgive him.
5The other events and acts of Jehoiakim's reign are recorded in the annals of the kings of Judah.
6He rested with his forefathers, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him.
7The Egyptian king did not leave his own land again, because the king of Babylon had stripped him of all he possessed from the wadi of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
8JEHOIACHIN was eighteen years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months; his mother was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan from Jerusalem.
9He did what was wrong in the eyes of the LORD, as his father had done.
10At that time the troops of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon advanced on Jerusalem and the city came under siege.
11Nebuchadnezzar arrived while his troops were besieging it,
12and King Jehoiachin of Judah, along with his mother, his courtiers, his officers, and his eunuchs surrendered to the king of Babylon. The king of Babylon, now in the eighth year of his reign, made him a prisoner;
13and, as the LORD had foretold, he carried off all the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the palace and broke up all the vessels of gold which King Solomon of Israel had made for the temple of the LORD.
14He took into exile the people of Jerusalem, the officers and all the fighting men, ten thousand in number, together with all the craftsmen and smiths; only the poorest class of the people was left.
15He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon; he also took into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon the king's mother and his wives, his eunuchs, and the foremost men of the land.
16He took also all the people of substance, seven thousand in number, and a thousand craftsmen and smiths, all of them able-bodied men and skilled armourers.
17He made Mattaniah, uncle of Jehoiachin, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother was Hamital daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
19He did what was wrong in the eyes of the LORD, as Jehoiakim had done.
20Jerusalem and Judah so angered the LORD that in the end he banished them from his sight. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
