In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. ... Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? ... And the king of Egypt came not again anymore out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. ... And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it. ... And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon — he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers — and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. ... And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had said.
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. ... And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. ... And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father’s brother, king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and they built forts against it round about. ... And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. ... And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king’s garden — now the Chaldees were against the city round about — and the king went the way toward the plain. ... And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army were scattered from him. ... So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they gave judgment upon him.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem; and he burned the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burned he with fire. ... Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door; and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city. ... And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Riblah. ... And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath.
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler. ... And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite — they and their men. ... Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison. ... And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon, and changed his prison garments, and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life. ... And his food allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
