12:024:003 Surely at the commandment of the lord came this upon Judah, to
           remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh,
           according to all that he did;

12:024:004 And also for the innocent blood that he shed:  for he filled
           Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the lord would not
           pardon.

12:024:005 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?

12:024:006 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers:  and Jehoiachin his son
           reigned in his stead.

12:024:007 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: 
           for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto
           the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

12:024:008 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and
           he reigned in Jerusalem three months.  And his mother’s name
           was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

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.
