24 During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar(A) king of Babylon invaded(B) the land, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he turned against Nebuchadnezzar and rebelled.(C) The Lord sent Babylonian,[a](D) Aramean,(E) Moabite and Ammonite raiders(F) against him to destroy(G) Judah, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by his servants the prophets.(H) Surely these things happened to Judah according to the Lord’s command,(I) in order to remove them from his presence(J) because of the sins of Manasseh(K) and all he had done, including the shedding of innocent blood.(L) For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive.(M)

As for the other events of Jehoiakim’s reign,(N) and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? Jehoiakim rested(O) with his ancestors. And Jehoiachin(P) his son succeeded him as king.

The king of Egypt(Q) did not march out from his own country again, because the king of Babylon(R) had taken all his territory, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

Jehoiachin King of Judah(S)

Jehoiachin(T) was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta(U) daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem. He did evil(V) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done.

10 At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar(W) king of Babylon advanced on Jerusalem and laid siege to it, 11 and Nebuchadnezzar himself came up to the city while his officers were besieging it. 12 Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his attendants, his nobles and his officials all surrendered(X) to him.

In the eighth year of the reign of the king of Babylon, he took Jehoiachin prisoner. 13 As the Lord had declared,(Y) Nebuchadnezzar removed the treasures(Z) from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace, and cut up the gold articles(AA) that Solomon(AB) king of Israel had made for the temple of the Lord. 14 He carried all Jerusalem into exile:(AC) all the officers and fighting men,(AD) and all the skilled workers and artisans—a total of ten thousand. Only the poorest(AE) people of the land were left.

15 Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin(AF) captive to Babylon. He also took from Jerusalem to Babylon the king’s mother,(AG) his wives, his officials and the prominent people(AH) of the land. 16 The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon the entire force of seven thousand fighting men, strong and fit for war, and a thousand skilled workers and artisans.(AI) 17 He made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.(AJ)

Zedekiah King of Judah(AK)

18 Zedekiah(AL) was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal(AM) daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. 19 He did evil(AN) in the eyes of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim had done. 20 It was because of the Lord’s anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust(AO) them from his presence.(AP)

The Fall of Jerusalem(AQ)(AR)(AS)

Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

  1. 2 Kings 24:2 Or Chaldean

24 Sa panahon sa paghari ni Jehoyakim, gisulong ni Nebucadnezar nga hari sa Babilonia ang Juda ug nasakop niya si Jehoyakim sulod sa tulo ka tuig. Apan wala madugay mirebelde si Jehoyakim kang Nebucadnezar. Nagpadala ang Ginoo ug mga taga-Babilonia,[a] taga-Aram, taga-Moab, ug taga-Ammon sa pagsulong sa Juda, sumala sa giingon sa Ginoo pinaagi sa iyang mga alagad nga mga propeta. Nahitabo kini sa Juda sumala sa mando sa Ginoo, aron mapahawa niya sila sa ilang lugar pahilayo sa iyang presensya, tungod sa mga sala nga gihimo ni Manase, apil ang iyang pagpamatay sa inosenteng mga tawo. Gipabanaw niya ang ilang dugo sa Jerusalem, ug dili kini mapasaylo sa Ginoo.

Ang uban pang sugilanon mahitungod sa paghari ni Jehoyakim, ug ang tanan niyang gihimo, nahisulat sa libro sa mga sugilanon bahin sa mga hari sa Juda. Sa dihang namatay si Jehoyakim, si Jehoyakin nga iyang anak mao ang mipuli kaniya ingon nga hari.

Wala na mosulong pag-usab ang hari sa Ehipto, kay nailog na sa hari sa Babilonia ang tanan niyang teritoryo, gikan sa Yuta sa Ehipto hangtod sa Suba sa Eufrates.

Ang Paghari ni Jehoyakin sa Juda

(2 Cro. 36:9-10)

Nagaedad si Jehoyakin ug 18 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa tulo ka bulan. Ang iyang inahan mao si Nehusta nga anak ni Elnatan nga taga-Jerusalem. Daotan ang iyang gihimo atubangan sa Ginoo, sama sa gihimo sa iyang amahan.

10 Sa panahon sa iyang paghari, ang mga opisyal ni Nebucadnezar nga hari sa Babilonia misulong sa Jerusalem, ug gilibotan nila kini. 11 Miadto si Nebucadnezar sa Jerusalem samtang gilibotan kini sa iyang mga sundalo. 12 Ug mitugyan kaniya sa ilang kaugalingon si Haring Jehoyakin, uban ang iyang inahan, ang iyang mga alagad, ang iyang dungganon nga mga tawo, ug ang iyang mga opisyal.

Sa ikawalo nga tuig sa paghari ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia, gibihag niya si Jehoyakin. 13 Sumala sa gipasidaan sa Ginoo, gipanguha ni Nebucadnezar ang tanang bahandi sa templo sa Ginoo ug sa palasyo, ug ang tanang bulawan nga kagamitan nga gipahimo ni Solomon nga hari sa Israel alang sa templo sa Ginoo. 14 Gibihag usab niya ang 10,000 ka mga lumulupyo sa Jerusalem, apil ang tanang opisyal ug maisog nga mga sundalo, ug ang tanang hanas nga mga trabahante ug mga platero. Ang mga labing kabos lang ang nabilin.

15 Gibihag usab ni Nebucadnezar si Jehoyakin ngadto sa Babilonia, apil ang inahan niini, mga asawa, mga opisyal, ug ang mga dungganon nga mga tawo sa Juda. 16 Gibihag usab niya ang 7,000 ka labing isog nga mga sundalo ug 1,000 ka hanas nga mga trabahante ug mga platero nga pulos may katakos sa pagpakiggira. 17 Ang gipuli niya nga hari mao si Matania nga uyoan ni Jehoyakin. Ug giilisan niya ang ngalan ni Matania ug Zedekia.

Ang Paghari ni Zedekia sa Juda

(2 Cro. 36:11-12; Jer. 52:1-3)

18 Nagaedad si Zedekia ug 21 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa 11 ka tuig. Ang iyang inahan mao si Hamutal nga anak ni Jeremias nga taga-Libna. 19 Daotan ang iyang gihimo atubangan sa Ginoo, sama sa gihimo ni Jehoyakim. 20 Busa gipapahawa sa Ginoo ang mga taga-Jerusalem ug ang mga taga-Juda sa ilang dapit pahilayo sa iyang presensya. Nahitabo kini tungod sa kasuko sa Ginoo kanila.

Ang Pagkalaglag sa Jerusalem

(2 Cro. 36:15-21; Jer. 52:3b-11)

Nagrebelde si Zedekia batok sa hari sa Babilonia.

Judah Overrun by Enemies

24 In (A)his days Nebuchadnezzar king of (B)Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him. (C)And the Lord sent against him raiding [a]bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon; He sent them against Judah to destroy it, (D)according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servants the prophets. Surely at the commandment of the Lord this came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight (E)because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, (F)and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the Lord would not pardon.

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? (G)So Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

And (H)the king of Egypt did not come out of his land anymore, for (I)the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the River Euphrates.

The Reign and Captivity of Jehoiachin(J)

(K)Jehoiachin[b] was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.

10 (L)At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city [c]was besieged. 11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, as his servants were besieging it. 12 (M)Then Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon, (N)in the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner.

The Captivity of Jerusalem

13 (O)And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house, and he (P)cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, (Q)as the Lord had said. 14 Also (R)he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, (S)ten thousand captives, and (T)all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except (U)the poorest people of the land. 15 And (V)he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the mighty of the land he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16 (W)All the valiant men, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

Zedekiah Reigns in Judah(X)

17 Then (Y)the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, (Z)Jehoiachin’s[d] uncle, king in his place, and (AA)changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 (AB)Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was (AC)Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 19 (AD)He also did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 20 For because of the anger of the Lord this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, that He finally cast them out from His presence. (AE)Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
