24 Sang panahon sang paghari ni Jehoyakim, ginsalakay ni Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia ang Juda kag nangin sakop niya si Jehoyakim sa sulod sang tatlo ka tuig. Pero sang ulihi nagrebelde si Jehoyakim kay Nebucadnezar. Nagpadala ang Ginoo sang mga taga-Babilonia,[a] taga-Aram, taga-Moab, kag taga-Ammon sa pagsalakay sa Juda, suno sa ginsiling sang Ginoo paagi sa iya mga alagad nga mga propeta. Natabo gid man ini sa Juda suno sa ginsugo sang Ginoo, agod mapahalin niya sila sa ila lugar palayo sa iya presensya, tungod sa mga sala nga ginhimo ni Manase, pati ang iya pagpamatay sang mga inosente nga mga tawo. Ginpaagay niya ang ila dugo sa Jerusalem, kag indi ini mapatawad sang Ginoo.

Ang iban pa nga estorya parte sa paghari ni Jehoyakim, kag ang tanan nga iya ginhimo, nasulat sa Libro sang Kasaysayan sang mga Hari sang Juda. Sang napatay si Jehoyakim, si Jehoyakin nga iya anak amo ang nagbulos sa iya bilang hari.

Wala na nagsalakay liwat ang hari sang Egipto, kay gin-agaw sang hari sang Babilonia ang tanan niya nga teritoryo, halin sa ililigan sang tubig sang Egipto hasta sa Suba sang Eufrates.

Ang Paghari ni Jehoyakin sa Juda(A)

Nagaedad si Jehoyakin sang 18 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Sa Jerusalem siya nag-estar, kag naghari siya sa sulod sang tatlo ka bulan. Ang iya iloy amo si Nehusta nga anak ni Elnatan nga taga-Jerusalem. Malain ang iya ginhimo sa panulok sang Ginoo, pareho sa ginhimo sang iya amay nga si Jehoyakim.

10 Sang panahon sang iya paghari, ang mga opisyal ni Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia nagsalakay sa Jerusalem, kag ginkibon nila ini. 11 Nagkadto mismo si Nebucadnezar sa Jerusalem samtang ginakibon ini sang iya mga tinawo. 12 Kag nagsurender sa iya si Haring Jehoyakin, upod ang iya iloy, ang iya mga alagad, ang iya dungganon nga mga tawo, kag ang iya mga opisyal.

Sang ikawalo nga tuig sang paghari ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia, ginbihag niya si Jehoyakin. 13 Suno sa ginsiling sadto sang Ginoo, ginpanguha ni Nebucadnezar ang tanan nga manggad sa templo sang Ginoo kag sa palasyo, kag ang tanan nga bulawan nga kagamitan nga ginpahimo ni Haring Solomon sang Israel para sa templo sang Ginoo. 14 Kag ginbihag niya ang 10,000 ka pumuluyo sang Jerusalem, lakip na ang tanan nga opisyal kag pinakamaayo nga mga soldado, kag ang tanan nga hanas nga mga trabahador kag mga platero. Ang mga pinakaimol lang ang nabilin.

15 Ginbihag ni Nebucadnezar si Jehoyakin sa Babilonia, pati ang iya iloy, mga asawa, mga opisyal kag ang mga dungganon nga mga tawo sa Juda. 16 Ginbihag man ni Nebucadnezar ang 7,000 ka maisog nga mga soldado kag 1,000 ka hanas nga mga trabahador kag mga platero nga mga soldado man. 17 Ang ginbulos niya nga hari amo si Matania nga tiyo ni Jehoyakin. Kag gin-islan niya ang ngalan ni Matania nga Zedekia.

Ang Paghari ni Zedekia sa Juda(B)

18 Nagaedad si Zedekia sang 21 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Sa Jerusalem siya nag-estar, kag naghari siya sa sulod sang 11 ka tuig. Ang iya iloy amo si Hamutal nga anak ni Jeremias nga taga-Libna. 19 Malain ang iya ginhimo sa panulok sang Ginoo, pareho sa ginhimo ni Jehoyakim. 20 Gani sang ulihi ginpahalin sang Ginoo ang mga taga-Jerusalem kag taga-Juda sa ila lugar palayo sa iya presensya. Natabo ini tungod sa kaakig sang Ginoo sa ila.

Ang Pagkalaglag sang Jerusalem(C)

Karon, nagrebelde si Zedekia sa hari sang Babilonia.

  1. 24:2 taga-Babilonia: sa literal, Kaldeanhon. Amo ini kon kaisa ang tawag sa mga taga-Babilonia.

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 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

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;

And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he 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?

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

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.

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.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.

10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

12 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.

13 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.

14 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.

15 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.

16 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.

17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 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.

19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

20 For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
