2 Reis 24
O Livro
24 Durante o reinado do rei Joaquim, Nabucodonozor, rei da Babilónia, atacou Jerusalém. Joaquim rendeu-se e teve de pagar-lhe tributo durante três anos; depois rebelou-se. 2 O Senhor enviou bandos de caldeus, arameus, moabitas e amonitas contra Judá, a fim de destruir a nação, tal como o Senhor tinha avisado pela boca dos seus profetas que aconteceria. 3 Não havia dúvida de que estes ataques caíam sobre Judá mandados pelo Senhor que decidira castigar duramente Judá, varrê-lo para longe da sua vista, devido aos muitos pecados de Manassés. 4 Pois tinha enchido Jerusalém de sangue e, por isso, o Senhor não quis perdoá-lo.
5 O resto dos acontecimentos da vida de Joaquim está relatado no Livro das Crónicas dos Reis de Judá. 6 Quando morreu, o seu filho Jeconias subiu ao trono em seu lugar. 7 O Faraó egípcio nunca mais saiu da sua terra, porque o rei da Babilónia ocupou toda a região que tinha sido dominada pelo Egito, toda a terra de Judá, desde o ribeiro do Egito até ao rio Eufrates.
Jeconias rei de Judá
(2 Cr 36.9-10)
8 O novo rei de Judá foi Jeconias. Tinha 18 anos quando começou a reinar e reinou 3 meses em Jerusalém. A sua mãe chamava-se Neusta e era filha de Elnatã, de Jerusalém. 9 Foi um mau reinado aos olhos do Senhor, tal como o do seu pai.
10 Durante o seu reinado, os exércitos do rei da Babilónia cercaram a cidade de Jerusalém. 11 O próprio Nabucodonozor chegou a Jerusalém durante o cerco. 12 O rei Jeconias, com todo o seu estado maior e os responsáveis pela administração do reino e a rainha mãe tiveram de render-se.
Jeconias foi feito prisioneiro e enviado para a Babilónia, durante o oitavo ano do reinado de Nabucodonozor. 13 Os babilónios levaram todos os tesouros do templo e do palácio real. Quebraram os vasos de ouro que o rei Salomão de Israel tinha colocado no templo por indicação do Senhor. 14 O rei Nabucodonozor levou 10 000 cativos de Jerusalém, incluindo as altas individualidades, guerreiros de elite, comerciantes e artesãos. Apenas os mais pobres de entre o povo e os que não tinham profissão foram deixados na sua terra.
15 Nabucodonozor levou assim o rei Jeconias, as suas mulheres, os chefes da administração pública e a rainha mãe para a Babilónia. 16 Também transferiu 7000 dos melhores soldados do exército e 1000 carpinteiros e ferreiros, todos gente capaz e forte para a guerra. 17 O rei da Babilónia nomeou como rei o tio de Jeconias, chamado Matanias, mudando o seu nome para Zedequias.
Zedequias rei de Judá
(2 Cr 36.11-14; Jr 52.1-3)
18 Zedequias tinha 21 anos quando se tornou rei e reinou 11 anos em Jerusalém. O nome de sua mãe era Hamutal, filha de Jeremias de Libna. 19 Fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor, conforme os atos anteriormente praticados por Joaquim. 20 As coisas tornaram-se muito más em Jerusalém e em Judá, por causa da ira do Senhor, e ele os baniu da sua presença.
A queda de Jerusalém
(2 Cr 36.15-20; Jr 39.1-10; 52.4-27)
Zedequias revoltou-se contra o rei da Babilónia.

Judah Overrun by Enemies
24 In his days King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came up; Jehoiakim became his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. 2 The Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Arameans, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the Ammonites; he sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by his servants the prophets. 3 Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the Lord, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, for all that he had committed, 4 and also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to pardon. 5 Now the rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? 6 So Jehoiakim slept with his ancestors; then his son Jehoiachin succeeded him. 7 The king of Egypt did not come again out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken over all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Wadi of Egypt to the River Euphrates.
Reign and Captivity of Jehoiachin
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father had done.
10 At that time the servants of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 11 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it; 12 King Jehoiachin of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself, his mother, his servants, his officers, and his palace officials. The king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign.
Capture of Jerusalem
13 He carried off all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house; he cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the Lord, which King Solomon of Israel had made, all this as the Lord had foretold. 14 He carried away all Jerusalem, all the officials, all the warriors, ten thousand captives, all the artisans and the smiths; no one remained, except the poorest people of the land. 15 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the elite of the land, he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16 The king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valour, seven thousand, the artisans and the smiths, one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war. 17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Zedekiah Reigns over Judah
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 19 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim had done. 20 Indeed, Jerusalem and Judah so angered the Lord that he expelled them from his presence.
The Fall and Captivity of Judah
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
2 Kings 24
New International Version
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.
