1 The people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Joahazand anointed him king in Jerusalem. 2 Joahazwas twenty-three years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor three months. 3 King Neco of Egypttook him prisoner and made Judah pay 7,500 poundsof silver and 75 poundsof gold as tribute. 4 Jr 22.11,12Neco made Joahaz' brother Eliakimking of Judah and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Joahazwas taken to Egyptby Neco.
5 Jr 22.18,19;26.1-6;35.1-19Jehoiakimwas twenty-five years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor eleven years. He sinned against the Lordhis God. 6 Jr 25.1-38;36.1-32;45.1-5;Dn 1.1,2King Nebuchadnezzarof Babyloniainvaded Judah, captured Jehoiakim, and took him to Babyloniain chains. 7 Nebuchadnezzarcarried off some of the treasures of the Temple and put them in his palace in Babylon. 8 Everything that Jehoiakimdid, including his disgusting practices and the evil he committed, is recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachinsucceeded him as king.
9 Jehoiachinwas eighteen36.9: Some ancient translations (and see 2 K 24.8) eighteen; Hebrew eight.years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor three months and ten days. He too sinned against the Lord. 10 Jr 22.24-30;24.1-10;29.1,2;Ez 17.12;Jr 37.1;Ez 17.13When spring came, King Nebuchadnezzartook Jehoiachin to Babyloniaas a prisoner and carried off the treasures of the Temple. Then Nebuchadnezzarmade Jehoiachin’s uncle36.10: Some ancient translations (and see 2 K 24.17) uncle; Hebrew brother.Zedekiahking of Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Jr 27.1-22;28.1-17Zedekiahwas twenty-one years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor eleven years. 12 He sinned against the Lordand did not listen humbly to the prophet Jeremiah, who spoke the word of the Lord.
13 Ez 17.15Zedekiah rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to swear in God’s name that he would be loyal. He stubbornly refused to repent and return to the Lord, the God of Israel. 14 In addition, the leaders of Judah, the priests, and the people followed the sinful example of the nations around them in worshiping idols, and so they defiled the Temple, which the Lordhimself had made holy. 15 The Lord, the God of their ancestors, had continued to send prophets to warn his people, because he wanted to spare them and the Temple. 16 But they made fun of God’s messengers, ignoring his words and laughing at his prophets, until at last the Lord's anger against his people was so great that there was no escape.
17 Jr 21.1-10;34.1-5So the Lordbrought the king of Babyloniato attack them. The king killed the young men of Judah even in the Temple. He had no mercy on anyone, young or old, man or woman, sick or healthy. God handed them all over to him. 18 The king of Babylonialooted the Temple, the Temple treasury, and the wealth of the king and his officials, and took everything back to Babylon. 19 1 K 9.8He burned down the Temple and the city, with all its palaces and its wealth, and broke down the city wall. 20 He took all the survivors to Babylonia, where they served him and his descendants as slaves until the rise of the PersianEmpire. 21 Jr 25.11;29.10And so what the Lordhad foretold through the prophet Jeremiahwas fulfilled: "The land will lie desolate for seventy years, to make up for the Sabbath rest36.21: Sabbath Rest: A reference to the requirement of the Law that every seventh year the land was not to be farmed (see Lv 25.1-7).that has not been observed."
22 In the first year that Cyrusof Persiawas emperor,36.22: emperor: King Cyrus of Persia occupied the city of Babylon in 539 b.c. and began to reign as the emperor of Babylonia.the Lordmade what he had said through the prophet Jeremiahcome true. He prompted Cyrusto issue the following command and send it out in writing to be read aloud everywhere in his empire:
23 Is 44.28"This is the command of Cyrus, Emperor of Persia. The Lord, the God of Heaven, has made me ruler over the whole world and has given me the responsibility of building a temple for him in Jerusalemin Judah. Now, all of you who are God’s people, go there, and may the Lordyour God be with you."
