约雅敬背叛巴比伦

24 约雅敬在位的时候,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来攻打他,约雅敬就臣服他三年,后来却反悔,背叛他。 耶和华差派迦勒底的军队、亚兰的军队、摩押的军队和亚扪人的军队攻打他,他差他们攻击犹大,毁灭它,就像耶和华借着他的仆人众先知预言的话。 这事临到犹大完全是出于耶和华的命令,因着玛拿西的罪,就是他所行的一切,要把他们从自己面前赶走; 又因着他所流无辜人的血,他使耶路撒冷满了无辜人的血,耶和华决不赦免。

约雅敬其余的事迹和他所行的一切,不是都记在犹大列王的年代志上吗? 约雅敬和他的祖先一同长眠,他的儿子约雅斤接续他作王。 埃及王不再从本国出征,因为巴比伦王占据了所有从前属于埃及王的领土,从埃及小河直到幼发拉底河。

约雅斤作犹大王(A)

约雅斤登基的时候是十八岁,他在耶路撒冷作王三个月;他母亲名叫尼护施他,是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿。 他行耶和华看为恶的事,好象他的祖先一切所行的。

巴比伦王上来围攻耶路撒冷

10 那时,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的臣仆来到耶路撒冷,城就被围困。 11 尼布甲尼撒的臣仆正在围城的时候,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒亲自来到耶路撒冷。 12 犹大王约雅斤和他的母亲、众臣仆、众领袖,以及众太监,出城投降巴比伦王。巴比伦王于是捉住他。那时,是巴比伦王在位第八年。

约雅斤与臣民被掳到巴比伦(B)

13 他又从耶路撒冷把耶和华殿一切宝物和王宫的宝物取去,并且把以色列王所罗门在耶和华殿所做的一切金器都捣毁,就像耶和华所说的。 14 他又掳去耶路撒冷的众民、众领袖,以及英勇的战士共一万人,还有工匠、铁匠;除了国民中最贫穷的以外,没有剩下的。 15 他把约雅斤掳到巴比伦去,又把太后、后妃、太监和国中的要员都从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦; 16 还有七千位战士,一千位工匠和铁匠,全都是能作战的勇士,巴比伦王把他们都掳到巴比伦去。

巴比伦王立西底家作王(C)

17 巴比伦王立约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅接续他作王,并且把玛探雅的名字改为西底家。

18 西底家登基的时候是二十一岁,他在耶路撒冷作王十一年;他母亲名叫哈慕他,是立拿人耶利米的女儿。 19 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,像约雅敬一切所行的。 20 因为耶和华的怒气向耶路撒冷和犹大发作,直到他把他们从自己的面前赶走。后来,西底家背叛了巴比伦王。

First Invasion of Nebuchadnezzar; Jehoiakim Submits

24 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up because Jehoiakim had become his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. So Yahweh sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, raiding bands of Aram, raiding bands of Moab, and raiding bands of the Ammonites.[a] He had sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Yahweh that he had spoken by the hand of his servants the prophets. Surely, it was on the command[b] of Yahweh against Judah to remove them from his sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done. Also, for the blood of the innocent that he had shed—and he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood—Yahweh was not willing to forgive. The remainder of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah? So Jehoiakim slept with his ancestors,[c] and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place. The king of Egypt did not again come out from his land, for the king of Babylon had taken territory from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

Jehoichin Succeeds Jehoiakim

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan from Jerusalem. He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his father had done.

Second Invasion of Nebuchadnezzar

10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and the city came under the siege. 11 Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city while his servants were besieging it. 12 Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his court officials. The king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. 13 Then he took from there all of the treasures of the temple of Yahweh and the treasures of the palace of the king. He cut up all of the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, as Yahweh had foretold. 14 He deported all of Jerusalem: all of the commanders, ten thousand of the skilled warriors, and the artisans; no one was left over except the poorest of the people of the land. 15 He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon; the mother of the king, the wives of the king, his court officials, and the citizenry of the land he caused to go into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 16 of all of the skilled men, seven thousand, and of the skilled craftsmen and the artisans, one thousand. All of the mighty warriors fit for war[d] the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. 17 Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.

Zedekiah Replaces Jehoiachin

18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah. 19 He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh just like all that Jehoiakim had done. 20 For it happened because of the anger of Yahweh, in Jerusalem and in Judah, until they were cast out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

24 In his yamim Nevuchadnetzar Melech Bavel came up, and Y’hoyakim became his eved (servant, vassal) shalosh shanim; then he turned and rebelled against him.

And Hashem sent against him gedudim (soldiers of the army) of the Kasdim, and gedudim of Aram (Syria) and gedudim of Mo’av and gedudim of Bnei Ammon, and sent them against Yehudah to destroy it, according to the Devar Hashem, which He spoke by His avadim the Nevi’im.

Surely at the command of Hashem came this upon Yehudah, to remove them out of His sight, for the chattot of Menasheh, according to all that he did;

And also for the dahm hanaki (innocent blood) that he shed; for he filled Yerushalayim with dahm naki; which Hashem would not pardon.

Now the rest of the acts of Y’hoyakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim of the Melachim of Yehudah?

So Y’hoyakim slept with his Avot; and Y’hoyakhin bno reigned in his place.

And Melech Mitzrayim came not again any more out of his land; for Melech Bavel had taken from the Wadi Mitzrayim unto Nahar Euphrates all that belonged to Melech Mitzrayim.

Y’hoyakhin was 18 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim 3 chodashim. And shem immo was Nechushta Bat Elnatan of Yerushalayim.

And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem, according to all that his Aviv had done.

10 At that time the avadim of Nevuchadnetzar Melech Bavel came up against Yerushalayim, and the Ir was besieged.

11 Nevuchadnetzar Melech Bavel came against the Ir, and his avadim did besiege it.

12 And Y’hoyakhin Melech Yehudah went out to Melech Bavel, he, and immo, and his avadim, and his sarim, and his sarisim; and Melech Bavel took him in the 8th year of his reign.

13 And he carried off there all the otzerot of the Beis Hashem, and the otzerot of the Bais HaMelech, and cut in pieces kol kelei hazahav which Sh’lomo Melech Yisroel had made in the Heikhal Hashem, as Hashem had said.

14 And he carried away into the Golus all Yerushalayim, and all the sarim, and all the gibborei hachayil, even ten thousand Golus captives, and all the charash and masger (smiths, artisans); none remained, except the dalat am ha’aretz (poor people of the land).

15 And he carried away Y’hoyakhin to Bavel, and the Em HaMelech, and the nashim of HaMelech, and his sarisim, and the leading men of HaAretz, those he carried into the Golus from Yerushalayim to Babylon.

16 And all the anshei hachayil, even shivat alafim, and a thousand charash and masger, all that were gibborim for making milchamah, even them Melech Bavel took into the Golus to Babylon.

17 And Melech Bavel made Matanyah dodo (his [Y’hoyakhin’s] uncle) Melech in his place, and changed shmo to Tzidkiyahu (Zedekiah).

18 Tzidkiyau (Zedekiah) was twenty and one shanah when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven shanah in Yerushalayim. And shem immo was Chamutal Bat Yirmeyahu of Livnah.

19 And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem, according to all that Y’hoyakim had done.

20 For through the anger of Hashem this came about in Yerushalayim and Yehudah, until He cast them out from His presence. And Tzidkiyahu (Zedekiah) rebelled against Melech Bavel.

24 约雅敬执政期间,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒进犯,约雅敬臣服于他,三年后又背叛了他。 耶和华差遣迦勒底人、亚兰人、摩押人和亚扪人来攻打约雅敬,毁灭犹大,正如祂借着祂的仆人——众先知所说的。 这些灾祸临到犹大是出自耶和华的命令。耶和华要把犹大人从自己面前赶走,是因为玛拿西所犯的一切罪。 玛拿西滥杀无辜,使耶路撒冷血流遍地,耶和华不会赦免这些罪行。 约雅敬其他的事及其一切所作所为都记在犹大的列王史上。 约雅敬与祖先同眠后,他儿子约雅斤继位。 埃及王不再迈出国境,因为巴比伦王夺取了从埃及小河至幼发拉底河之间的埃及领土。

约雅斤做犹大王

约雅斤十八岁登基,在耶路撒冷执政三个月。他母亲叫尼护施她,是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿。 他像他父亲一样做耶和华视为恶的事。 10 那时,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒派将领围攻耶路撒冷。 11 围城期间,尼布甲尼撒亲自来到耶路撒冷。 12 犹大王约雅斤及其母亲、臣仆和文官武将向尼布甲尼撒投降。巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在他执政第八年俘虏了约雅斤, 13 拿走了耶和华殿里和王宫里的宝物,以及所罗门王为耶和华的殿所造的金器,正如耶和华所言。 14 他又掳走住在耶路撒冷的所有将领、勇士、工匠和铁匠共一万人,只留下了境内最贫穷的人。 15 他把约雅斤及其母亲、妃嫔、臣仆和国中政要从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦。 16 此外被掳的还有能征善战的勇士七千人,工匠和铁匠一千人。

17 巴比伦王让约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅代替约雅斤做王,给玛探雅改名叫西底迦。

西底迦做犹大王

18 西底迦二十一岁登基,在耶路撒冷执政十一年。他母亲叫哈慕她,是立拿人耶利米的女儿。 19 西底迦像约雅敬一样做耶和华视为恶的事。 20 因此,耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大的人发怒,把他们从祂面前赶走。

耶路撒冷陷落

后来,西底迦背叛了巴比伦王。
