2 Chronicles 36
New International Version
36 1 And the people(A) of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
Jehoahaz King of Judah(B)
2 Jehoahaz[a] was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. 3 The king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents[b] of silver and a talent[c] of gold. 4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim, a brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Necho(C) took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.(D)
Jehoiakim King of Judah(E)
5 Jehoiakim(F) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. 6 Nebuchadnezzar(G) king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.(H) 7 Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon articles from the temple of the Lord and put them in his temple[d] there.(I)
8 The other events of Jehoiakim’s reign, 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 succeeded him as king.
Jehoiachin King of Judah(J)
9 Jehoiachin(K) was eighteen[e] years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 10 In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon,(L) together with articles of value from the temple of the Lord, and he made Jehoiachin’s uncle,[f] Zedekiah, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Zedekiah King of Judah(M)
11 Zedekiah(N) was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. 12 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord(O) his God and did not humble(P) himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the Lord. 13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take an oath(Q) in God’s name. He became stiff-necked(R) and hardened his heart and would not turn to the Lord, the God of Israel. 14 Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful,(S) following all the detestable practices of the nations and defiling the temple of the Lord, which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
The Fall of Jerusalem(T)(U)
15 The Lord, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them through his messengers(V) again and again,(W) because he had pity on his people and on his dwelling place. 16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words and scoffed(X) at his prophets until the wrath(Y) of the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.(Z) 17 He brought up against them the king of the Babylonians,[g](AA) who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and did not spare young men(AB) or young women, the elderly or the infirm.(AC) God gave them all into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.(AD) 18 He carried to Babylon all the articles(AE) from the temple of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the Lord’s temple and the treasures of the king and his officials. 19 They set fire(AF) to God’s temple(AG) and broke down the wall(AH) of Jerusalem; they burned all the palaces and destroyed(AI) everything of value there.(AJ)
20 He carried into exile(AK) to Babylon the remnant, who escaped from the sword, and they became servants(AL) to him and his successors until the kingdom of Persia came to power. 21 The land enjoyed its sabbath rests;(AM) all the time of its desolation it rested,(AN) until the seventy years(AO) were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah.
22 In the first year of Cyrus(AP) king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:
23 “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(AQ) me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up, and may the Lord their God be with them.’”

Ang Biblia, 2001
Si Haring Jehoahaz ng Juda(A)
36 Kinuha ng mga tao ng lupain si Jehoahaz na anak ni Josias at ginawa siyang hari na kapalit ng kanyang ama sa Jerusalem.
2 Si Jehoahaz ay dalawampu't tatlong taong gulang nang siya'y nagsimulang maghari; at siya'y naghari ng tatlong buwan sa Jerusalem.
3 Pagkatapos ay pinaalis siya sa Jerusalem ng hari ng Ehipto at pinagbuwis ang lupain ng isandaang talentong pilak at ng isang talentong ginto.
4 At(B) ginawa ng hari ng Ehipto bilang hari sa Juda si Eliakim na kanyang kapatid, at pinalitan ang kanyang pangalan ng Jehoiakim; ngunit kinuha ni Neco si Jehoahaz na kanyang kapatid, at kanyang dinala siya sa Ehipto.
Si Haring Jehoiakim ng Juda(C)
5 Si(D) Jehoiakim ay dalawampu't limang taong gulang nang siya'y nagsimulang maghari at siya'y naghari ng labing-isang taon sa Jerusalem. Kanyang ginawa ang masama sa paningin ng Panginoon niyang Diyos.
6 Laban(E) sa kanya ay umahon si Nebukadnezar na hari ng Babilonia, at ginapos siya ng tanikala, upang dalhin siya sa Babilonia.
7 Dinala rin ni Nebukadnezar ang ilan sa mga kagamitan sa bahay ng Panginoon sa Babilonia at inilagay ang mga iyon sa kanyang palasyo sa Babilonia.
8 Ang iba pa sa mga gawa ni Jehoiakim, at ang mga karumaldumal na kanyang ginawa, at ang natagpuan laban sa kanya ay nakasulat sa Aklat ng mga Hari ng Israel at Juda. At si Jehoiakin na kanyang anak ay naghari na kapalit niya.
Si Haring Jehoiakin ng Juda(F)
9 Si Jehoiakin ay walong taong gulang nang siya'y nagsimulang maghari, at siya'y naghari ng tatlong buwan at sampung araw sa Jerusalem. At kanyang ginawa ang masama sa paningin ng Panginoon.
10 Sa(G) tagsibol ng taon, si Nebukadnezar ay nagsugo at dinala siya sa Babilonia, pati ang mahahalagang kagamitan sa bahay ng Panginoon at si Zedekias na kanyang kapatid ay ginawang hari ng Juda at Jerusalem.
Si Haring Zedekias ng Juda(H)
11 Si(I) Zedekias ay dalawampu't isang taong gulang nang siya'y nagsimulang maghari; at siya'y naghari ng labing-isang taon sa Jerusalem.
12 Kanyang ginawa ang masama sa paningin ng Panginoon niyang Diyos; siya'y hindi nagpakababa sa harapan ni propeta Jeremias na nagsalita mula sa bibig ng Panginoon.
Ang Pagbagsak ng Jerusalem(J)
13 Naghimagsik(K) din siya laban kay Haring Nebukadnezar, na siyang nagpasumpa sa kanya sa pangalan ng Diyos, ngunit pinapagmatigas niya ang kanyang leeg at pinapagmatigas niya ang kanyang puso laban sa panunumbalik sa Panginoon, ang Diyos ng Israel.
14 Bukod dito'y lahat ng mga namumunong pari at ang taong-bayan ay gumawa ng maraming paglabag at sumusunod sa lahat ng karumaldumal ng mga bansa. Kanilang dinumihan ang bahay ng Panginoon na kanyang itinalaga sa Jerusalem.
15 At ang Panginoon, ang Diyos ng kanilang mga ninuno ay paulit-ulit na nagsugo sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga sugo, sapagkat siya'y may habag sa kanyang bayan, at sa kanyang tahanang dako.
16 Ngunit patuloy nilang tinuya ang mga sugo ng Diyos, hinahamak ang kanyang mga salita, at nililibak ang kanyang mga propeta, hanggang sa ang poot ng Panginoon ay tumindi laban sa kanyang bayan, hanggang sa wala nang lunas.
17 Kaya't(L) dinala niya sa kanila ang hari ng mga Caldeo, na siyang pumatay sa kanilang mga kabataang lalaki sa pamamagitan ng tabak sa bahay ng kanilang santuwaryo, at hindi naawa sa binata o sa dalaga, sa matanda o sa may uban. Kanyang ibinigay silang lahat sa kanyang kamay.
18 Lahat ng mga kagamitan sa bahay ng Diyos, malaki at maliit, ang mga kayamanan sa bahay ng Panginoon, at ang mga kayamanan ng hari at ng kanyang mga pinuno ay dinala niyang lahat sa Babilonia.
19 At(M) sinunog nila ang bahay ng Diyos, at giniba ang pader ng Jerusalem, at sinunog sa apoy ang lahat ng mga palasyo nito at sinira ang lahat ng mahahalagang sisidlan nito.
20 Kanyang dinalang-bihag sa Babilonia ang mga nakatakas sa tabak, at sila'y naging alipin niya at ng kanyang mga anak hanggang sa pagkatatag ng kaharian ng Persia,
21 upang(N) matupad ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni Jeremias, hanggang sa matamasa ng lupain ang mga Sabbath nito. Sa lahat ng mga araw na ito ay naiwang wasak, ito ay nangilin ng Sabbath, upang ganapin ang pitumpung taon.
Pinabalik ni Ciro ang mga Judio(O)
22 Sa unang taon ni Ciro na hari ng Persia, upang ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni Jeremias ay maganap, kinilos ng Panginoon ang espiritu ni Ciro na hari ng Persia, kaya't siya'y nagpahayag sa kanyang buong kaharian, at ito ay kanya ring isinulat.
23 “Ganito(P) ang sabi ni Ciro na hari ng Persia, ‘Lahat ng kaharian sa lupa ay ibinigay sa akin ng Panginoon, ang Diyos ng langit. Kanyang inatasan ako na ipagtayo siya ng isang bahay sa Jerusalem, na nasa Juda. Sinuman sa inyo ang kabilang sa kanyang buong bayan, sumakanya nawa ang Panginoon niyang Diyos! Hayaan siyang umahon.’”
2 Chronicles 36
New King James Version
The Reign and Captivity of Jehoahaz(A)
36 Then (B)the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem. 2 [a]Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3 Now the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 4 Then the king of Egypt made [b]Jehoahaz’s brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took [c]Jehoahaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt.
The Reign and Captivity of Jehoiakim(C)
5 (D)Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did (E)evil in the sight of the Lord his God. 6 (F)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in [d]bronze fetters to (G)carry him off to Babylon. 7 (H)Nebuchadnezzar also carried off some of the articles from the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. 8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. Then [e]Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
The Reign and Captivity of Jehoiachin(I)
9 (J)Jehoiachin was [f]eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 10 At the turn of the year (K)King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and took him to Babylon, (L)with the costly articles from the house of the Lord, and made (M)Zedekiah,[g] [h]Jehoiakim’s brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Zedekiah Reigns in Judah(N)
11 (O)Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 12 He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and (P)did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the Lord. 13 And he also (Q)rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath by God; but he (R)stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel. 14 Moreover all the leaders of the priests and the people transgressed more and more, according to all the abominations of the nations, and defiled the house of the Lord which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
The Fall of Jerusalem(S)
15 (T)And the Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. 16 But (U)they mocked the messengers of God, (V)despised His words, and (W)scoffed at His prophets, until the (X)wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy.
17 (Y)Therefore He brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who (Z)killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, on the aged or the weak; He gave them all into his hand. 18 (AA)And all the articles from the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his leaders, all these he took to Babylon. 19 (AB)Then they burned the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious possessions. 20 And (AC)those who escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon, (AD)where they became servants to him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia, 21 to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of (AE)Jeremiah, until the land (AF)had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay desolate (AG)she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
The Proclamation of Cyrus(AH)
22 (AI)Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of (AJ)Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of (AK)Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying,
23 (AL)Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a [i]house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. Who is among you of all His people? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up!
