Dual Panel1In his days<3117> Nebuchadnezzar<5019> king<4428> of Babylon<894> came<5927> up, and Jehoiakim<3079> became<1961> his servant<5650> for three<7969> years<8141>; then he turned<7725> and rebelled<4775> against him.
2The LORD<3068> sent<7971> against him bands<1416> of Chaldeans<3778>, bands<1416> of Arameans<758>, bands<1416> of Moabites<4124>, and bands<1416> of Ammonites<1121><5983>. So He sent<7971> them against Judah<3063> to destroy<6> it, according to the word<1697> of the LORD<3068> which<834> He had spoken<1696> through<3027> His servants<5650> the prophets<5030>.
3Surely<389> at the command<6310> of the LORD<3068> it came<1961> upon Judah<3063>, to remove<5493> them from His sight<6440> because of the sins<2403> of Manasseh<4519>, according to all<3605> that he had done<6213>,
4and also<1571> for the innocent<5355> blood<1818> which<834> he shed<8210>, for he filled<4390> Jerusalem<3389> with innocent<5355> blood<1818>; and the LORD<3068> would<14> not forgive<5545>.
5Now the rest<3499> of the acts<1697> of Jehoiakim<3079> and all<3605> that he did<6213>, are they not written<3789> in the Book<5612> of the Chronicles<1697><3117> of the Kings<4428> of Judah<3063>?
6So Jehoiakim<3079> slept<7901> with his fathers<1>, and Jehoiachin<3078> his son<1121> became<4427> king<4427> in his place<8478>.
7The king<4428> of Egypt<4714> did<3254> not come<3318> out of his land<776> again<5750><3254>, for the king<4428> of Babylon<894> had taken<3947> all<3605> that belonged<1961> to the king<4428> of Egypt<4714> from the brook<5158> of Egypt<4714> to the river<5104> Euphrates<6578>.
8Jehoiachin<3078> was eighteen<8083><6240> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> three<7969> months<2320> in Jerusalem<3389>; and his mother's<517> name<8034> was Nehushta<5179> the daughter<1323> of Elnathan<494> of Jerusalem<3389>.
9He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, according to all<3605> that his father<1> had done<6213>.
10At that time<6256> the servants<5650> of Nebuchadnezzar<5019> king<4428> of Babylon<894> went<5927> up to Jerusalem<3389>, and the city<5892> came<935> under siege<4692>.
11And Nebuchadnezzar<5019> the king<4428> of Babylon<894> came<935> to the city<5892>, while his servants<5650> were besieging<6696><5921> it.
12Jehoiachin<3078> the king<4428> of Judah<3063> went<3318> out to the king<4428> of Babylon<894>, he and his mother<517> and his servants<5650> and his captains<8269> and his officials<5631>. So the king<4428> of Babylon<894> took<3947> him captive in the eighth<8083> year<8141> of his reign<4427>.
13He carried<3318> out from there<8033> all<3605> the treasures<214> of the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>, and the treasures<214> of the king's<4428> house<1004>, and cut<7112> in pieces<7112> all<3605> the vessels<3627> of gold<2091> which<834> Solomon<8010> king<4428> of Israel<3478> had made<6213> in the temple<1964> of the LORD<3068>, just<3512> as the LORD<3068> had said<1696>.
14Then he led<1540> away<1540> into exile<1540> all<3605> Jerusalem<3389> and all<3605> the captains<8269> and all<3605> the mighty<1368> men<1368> of valor<2428>, ten<6235> thousand<505> captives<1540>, and all<3605> the craftsmen<2796> and the smiths<4525>. None<3808> remained<7604> except<2108> the poorest<1803> people<5971> of the land<776>.
15So he led<1540> Jehoiachin<3078> away<1540> into exile<1540> to Babylon<894>; also the king's<4428> mother<517> and the king's<4428> wives<802> and his officials<5631> and the leading<193> men<193> of the land<776>, he led<1980> away into exile<1473> from Jerusalem<3389> to Babylon<894>.
16All<3605> the men<376> of valor<2428>, seven<7651> thousand<505>, and the craftsmen<2796> and the smiths<4525>, one thousand<505>, all<3605> strong<1368> and fit<6213> for war<4421>, and these the king<4428> of Babylon<894> brought<935> into exile<1473> to Babylon<894>.
17Then the king<4428> of Babylon<894> made<4427> his uncle<1730> Mattaniah<4983> king<4427> in his place<8478>, and changed<5437> his name<8034> to Zedekiah<6667>.
18Zedekiah<6667> was twenty-one<6242><259> years<8141> old<1121> when he became<4427> king<4427>, and he reigned<4427> eleven<259><6240> years<8141> in Jerusalem<3389>; and his mother's<517> name<8034> was Hamutal<2537> the daughter<1323> of Jeremiah<3414> of Libnah<3841>.
19He did<6213> evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068>, according to all<3605> that Jehoiakim<3079> had done<6213>.
20For through<5921> the anger<639> of the LORD<3068> this came<1961> about in Jerusalem<3389> and Judah<3063> until<5704> He cast<7993> them out from His presence<6440>. And Zedekiah<6667> rebelled<4775> against the king<4428> of Babylon<894>.
