12:024:009 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that his father had done.
12:024:010 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
12:024:011 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and
his servants did besiege it.
12:024:012 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of
Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his
princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in
the eighth year of his reign.
12:024:013 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of
the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in
pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel
had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
12:024:014 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and
all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and
all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest
sort of the people of the land.
12:024:015 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's
mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty
of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to
Babylon.
12:024:016 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
12:024:017 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
12:024:018 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
