Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
The king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. [Footnote: A talent weighed roughly 34 kilograms (75 pounds).]
The king of Egypt made Eliakim, his brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD his God.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against him and bound him in bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried off to Babylon some of the vessels of the house of the LORD, and he put them in his palace in Babylon.
The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the detestable things he did, and all that was found against him are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD. [Footnote: The Hebrew text reads "eight years"; the parallel account and some ancient witnesses read "eighteen years."]
In the spring King Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, along with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and he made Zedekiah, Jehoiachin's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem. [Footnote: Hebrew "his brother"; the term can denote a close male relative — Zedekiah was Jehoiachin's uncle.]
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
He did what was evil in the eyes of the LORD his God, and he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the LORD.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning back to the LORD, the God of Israel.
And all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their treachery, following all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again through his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.
But they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against his people burned beyond remedy.
So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in their own sanctuary. He spared neither young man nor young woman, neither the elderly nor the aged; God gave them all into his hand.
All the vessels of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all of it he carried off to Babylon.
They burned the house of God, tore down the wall of Jerusalem, set fire to all its palaces, and destroyed all its precious vessels.
Those who survived the sword he carried into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power—
to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days it lay desolate it kept sabbath, until seventy years were complete.
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, so that the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he sent a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also put it in writing:
"This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has appointed me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of you who are of his people—may the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up."
