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. 2 (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. 3 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, 4 (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.
5 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? 6 (G)So Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
7 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)
8 (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. 9 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.

2 Reyes 24
Traducción en lenguaje actual
24 El rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia fue a luchar contra Judá, y venció al rey Joacín. Judá permaneció bajo el dominio de Nabucodonosor durante tres años, pero después Joacín volvió a ponerse en su contra. 2 Luego Dios envió pequeños grupos de soldados caldeos, sirios, moabitas y amonitas, para que atacaran y destruyeran Judá. Así se cumplió lo que Dios había anunciado por medio de sus profetas. 3-4 Dios castigó a Judá por todos los pecados de Manasés. No quiso perdonarla porque Manasés había matado a mucha gente inocente en Jerusalén.
5 Todo lo que hizo Joacín está escrito en el libro de la historia de los reyes de Judá. 6 Cuando Joacín murió, su hijo Joaquín reinó en su lugar. 7 Para entonces el rey de Babilonia había conquistado todo el territorio que va desde el arroyo de Egipto hasta el río Éufrates, y por eso el rey de Egipto no volvió a salir de su país.
Joaquín, rey de Judá (2 Cr 36.9-10)
8 Joaquín comenzó a reinar a los dieciocho años. La capital de su reino fue Jerusalén, y su reinado duró tres meses. Su madre era de Jerusalén, y se llamaba Nehustá hija de Elnatán. 9 Joaquín desobedeció a Dios, al igual que su padre.
10 Durante el reinado de Joaquín, el ejército de Babilonia fue y rodeó la ciudad de Jerusalén para atacarla. 11 Cuando los soldados ya la tenían rodeada, llegó el rey Nabucodonosor. 12 Entonces Joaquín y su madre, junto con sus sirvientes, sus asistentes y los jefes de su ejército se rindieron, y el rey de Babilonia los tomó prisioneros. Esto ocurrió cuando Nabucodonosor tenía ya ocho años como rey de Babilonia.
13 Nabucodonosor tomó todos los tesoros del templo y del palacio de Jerusalén, y rompió todas las vasijas de oro que había hecho el rey Salomón. Así se cumplió lo que Dios había anunciado. 14-16 Nabucodonosor se llevó diez mil prisioneros en total, entre los que estaban los oficiales, siete mil soldados valientes, y mil artesanos y herreros. También se llevó prisioneros al rey Joaquín, a su madre, a sus esposas, a su guardia personal, y a los más importantes líderes del país. Sólo dejó en Jerusalén a los más pobres. 17 Después Nabucodonosor nombró como rey a Matanías, tío de Joaquín, pero antes le cambió el nombre, y lo llamó Sedequías.
Sedequías, rey de Judá (2 Cr 36.11-16; Jer 52.1-3)
18 Sedequías comenzó a reinar a los veintiún años. La capital de su reino fue Jerusalén, y su reinado duró once años. Su madre era de Libná, y se llamaba Hamutal hija de Jeremías. 19 Sedequías desobedeció a Dios, al igual que Joacín, 20 por eso Dios se enojó muchísimo con Jerusalén y Judá, y las rechazó.
Babilonia vence a Judá (Jer 39.1-7; 52.3-11)
Después de un tiempo, Sedequías también se puso en contra del rey de Babilonia.

2 Kings 24
New International Version
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) 2 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) 3 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, 4 including the shedding of innocent blood.(L) For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive.(M)
5 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? 6 Jehoiakim rested(O) with his ancestors. And Jehoiachin(P) his son succeeded him as king.
7 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)
8 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. 9 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.
