Jerusalem Captured

¹⁰ At that time the servants of ^(A)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. ¹¹ And ^(B)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it, ^12 (C)and Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself and his mother and his servants and his officials and his palace officials. ^(D)The king of Babylon took him prisoner ^(E)in the eighth year of his reign ¹³ and carried off all the treasures of the house of the Lord ^(F)and the treasures of the king's house, ^(G)and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the Lord, ^(H)which Solomon king of Israel had made, ^(I)as the Lord had foretold. ^14 (J)He carried away all Jerusalem and all the officials and all the mighty men of valor, ^(K)10,000 captives, ^(L)and all the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained, ^(M)except the poorest people of the land. ^15 (N)And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon. The king's mother, the king's wives, his officials, and the chief men of the land he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. ¹⁶ And the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valor, ^(O)7,000, and the craftsmen and the metal workers, 1,000, all of them strong and fit for war. ^17 (P)And the king of Babylon ^(Q)made Mattaniah, ^(R)Jehoiachin's uncle, king in his place, ^(S)and changed his name to Zedekiah.
