2 Chronicles 36
Christian Standard Bible
Judah’s King Jehoahaz
36 Then(A) the common people[a] took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Jehoahaz[b] was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3 The king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and fined the land seventy-five hundred pounds[c] of silver and seventy-five pounds[d] of gold.
Judah’s King Jehoiakim
4 Then King Neco of Egypt made Jehoahaz’s brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took his brother Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt.(B)
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.(C) 6 Now King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked him(D) and bound him in bronze(E) shackles to take him to Babylon.(F) 7 Also Nebuchadnezzar took some of the articles of the Lord’s temple to Babylon and put them in his temple in Babylon.(G)
8 The rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim,(H) the detestable actions he committed, and what was found against him, are written in the Book of Israel’s Kings. His son Jehoiachin became king in his place.
Judah’s King Jehoiachin
9 Jehoiachin was eighteen[e] years old(I) when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight. 10 In the spring[f](J) Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon along with the valuable articles of the Lord’s temple. Then he made Jehoiachin’s brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.(K)
Judah’s King Zedekiah
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old(L) when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 12 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God and did not humble himself(M) before the prophet Jeremiah at the Lord’s command.(N) 13 He also rebelled against(O) King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. He became obstinate[g](P) and hardened his heart against returning to the Lord, the God of Israel. 14 All the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, imitating all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the Lord’s temple that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
The Destruction of Jerusalem
15 But the Lord, the God of their ancestors sent word against them by the hand of his messengers, sending them time and time again,(Q) for he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place. 16 But they kept ridiculing God’s messengers,(R) despising his words,(S) and scoffing at his prophets, until the Lord’s wrath was so stirred up against his people that there was no remedy.(T) 17 So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans,(U) who killed their fit young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary. He had no pity on young men or young women, elderly or aged; he handed them all over to him. 18 He took everything to Babylon—all the articles of God’s temple, large and small, the treasures of the Lord’s temple, and the treasures of the king and his officials. 19 Then the Chaldeans burned God’s temple.(V) They tore down Jerusalem’s wall, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all its valuable articles.
20 He deported those who escaped from the sword to Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the rise of the Persian[h] kingdom.(W) 21 This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Jeremiah,(X) and the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation(Y) until seventy years were fulfilled.
The Decree of Cyrus
22 In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia,(Z) in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken through[i] Jeremiah,(AA) the Lord roused the spirit of King Cyrus(AB) of Persia to issue a proclamation throughout his entire kingdom and also to put it in writing:
23 This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: The Lord, the God of the heavens, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build him a temple at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up, and may the Lord his God be with him.
2 Crónicas 36
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Joacaz, rey de Judá(A)
36 Entonces el pueblo tomó a Joacaz hijo de Josías y lo proclamó rey en Jerusalén, en lugar de su padre. 2 Joacaz tenía veintitrés años cuando ascendió al trono, y reinó en Jerusalén tres meses. 3 Sin embargo, el rey de Egipto lo quitó del trono para que no reinara en Jerusalén, y le impuso al país un tributo de cien barras de plata y una barra[a] de oro. 4 Luego hizo reinar sobre Judá y Jerusalén a Eliaquín, hermano de Joacaz, y le dio el nombre de Joacim. En cuanto a Joacaz, Necao se lo llevó a Egipto.
Joacim, rey de Judá(B)
5 Joacim tenía veinticinco años cuando ascendió al trono, y reinó en Jerusalén once años, pero hizo lo que ofende al Señor su Dios. 6 Por eso Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, marchó contra Joacim y lo llevó a Babilonia sujeto con cadenas de bronce. 7 Además, Nabucodonosor se llevó a Babilonia los utensilios del templo del Señor y los puso en su templo en Babilonia.
8 Los demás acontecimientos del reinado de Joacim, y sus pecados y todo cuanto le sucedió, están escritos en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá. Y su hijo Joaquín le sucedió en el trono.
Joaquín, rey de Judá(C)
9 Joaquín tenía dieciocho[b] años cuando ascendió al trono, y reinó en Jerusalén tres meses y diez días, pero hizo lo que ofende al Señor. 10 Por eso, a comienzos del año el rey Nabucodonosor mandó que lo llevaran a Babilonia, junto con los utensilios más valiosos del templo del Señor, e hizo reinar sobre Judá y Jerusalén a Sedequías, pariente de Joaquín.
Sedequías, rey de Judá(D)
11 Sedequías tenía veintiún años cuando ascendió al trono, y reinó en Jerusalén once años, 12 pero hizo lo que ofende al Señor su Dios. No se humilló ante el profeta Jeremías, que hablaba en nombre del Señor, 13 y además se rebeló contra el rey Nabucodonosor, a quien había jurado lealtad. Sedequías fue terco y, en su obstinación, no quiso volverse al Señor, Dios de Israel.
14 También los jefes de los sacerdotes y el pueblo aumentaron su maldad, pues siguieron las prácticas detestables de los países vecinos y contaminaron el templo que el Señor había consagrado para sí en Jerusalén. 15 Por amor a su pueblo y al lugar donde habita, el Señor, Dios de sus antepasados, con frecuencia les enviaba advertencias por medio de sus mensajeros. 16 Pero ellos se burlaban de los mensajeros de Dios, tenían en poco sus palabras, y se mofaban de sus profetas. Por fin, el Señor desató su ira contra el pueblo, y ya no hubo remedio.
La caída de Jerusalén(E)(F)
17 Entonces el Señor envió contra ellos al rey de los babilonios, quien dentro del mismo templo mató a espada a los jóvenes, y no tuvo compasión de jóvenes ni de doncellas, ni de adultos ni de ancianos. A todos se los entregó Dios en sus manos. 18 Todos los utensilios del templo de Dios, grandes y pequeños, más los tesoros del templo y los del rey y de sus oficiales, fueron llevados a Babilonia. 19 Incendiaron el templo de Dios, derribaron la muralla de Jerusalén, prendieron fuego a sus palacios y destruyeron todos los objetos de valor que allí había.
20 A los que se salvaron de la muerte, el rey se los llevó a Babilonia, y fueron esclavos suyos y de sus hijos hasta el establecimiento del reino persa. 21 De este modo se cumplió la palabra que el Señor había pronunciado por medio de Jeremías. La tierra disfrutó de su descanso sabático todo el tiempo que estuvo desolada, hasta que se cumplieron setenta años.
Decreto de Ciro
22 En cumplimiento de la palabra del Señor, dada por medio del profeta Jeremías, en el primer año del reinado de Ciro, rey de Persia, el Señor puso en el corazón del rey que promulgara un decreto por todo el reino; y así lo hizo. En forma oral y por escrito, el rey promulgó lo siguiente:
23 «Esto es lo que decreta Ciro, rey de Persia:
»El Señor, Dios del cielo, que me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, me ha encargado también que le construya un templo en la ciudad de Jerusalén, en Judá. Por tanto, cualquiera que pertenezca a ese pueblo, que se vaya, y que el Señor su Dios lo acompañe».
2 Chronicles 36
King James Version
36 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord.
13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
