2 Chronicles 36 (WEBP)

[1] Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
[2] Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
[3] The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent° of gold.
[4] The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
[5] Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight.
[6] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
[7] Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of Yahweh’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
[8] Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
[9] Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
[10] At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of Yahweh’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
[11] Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
[12] He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from Yahweh’s mouth.
[13] He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
[14] Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted Yahweh’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
[15] Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
[16] but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
[17] Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
[18] All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
[19] They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
[20] He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
[21] to fulfill Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
[22] Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
[23] “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’ ”

2 Chronicles 36 (KJVS)

[1] Then the people H5971 of the land H776 took H3947 (8799) Jehoahaz H3059 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, and made him king H4427 (8686) in his father’s H1 stead in Jerusalem H3389.
[2] Jehoahaz H3099 [was] twenty H6242 and three H7969 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and he reigned H4427 (8804) three H7969 months H2320 in Jerusalem H3389.
[3] And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 put him down H5493 (8686) at Jerusalem H3389, and condemned H6064 (8799) the land H776 in an hundred H3967 talents H3603 of silver H3701 and a talent H3603 of gold H2091.
[4] And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 made Eliakim H471 his brother H251 king H4427 (8686) over Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389, and turned H5437 (8686) his name H8034 to Jehoiakim H3079. And Necho H5224 took H3947 (8804) Jehoahaz H3099 his brother H251, and carried H935 (8686) him to Egypt H4714.
[5] Jehoiakim H3079 [was] twenty H6242 and five H2568 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and he reigned H4427 (8804) eleven H259 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389: and he did H6213 (8799) [that which was] evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 his God H430.
[6] Against him came up H5927 (8804) Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894, and bound H631 (8799) him in fetters H5178, to carry H3212 (8687) him to Babylon H894.
[7] Nebuchadnezzar H5019 also carried H935 (8689) of the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 to Babylon H894, and put H5414 (8799) them in his temple H1964 at Babylon H894.
[8] Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 of Jehoiakim H3079, and his abominations H8441 which he did H6213 (8804), and that which was found H4672 (8737) in him, behold, they [are] written H3789 (8803) in the book H5612 of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063: and Jehoiachin H3078 his son H1121 reigned H4427 (8799) in his stead.
[9] Jehoiachin H3078 [was] eight H8083 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and he reigned H4427 (8804) three H7969 months H2320 and ten H6235 days H3117 in Jerusalem H3389: and he did H6213 (8799) [that which was] evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068.
[10] And when the year H8141 was expired H8666, king H4428 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 sent H7971 (8804), and brought H935 (8686) him to Babylon H894, with the goodly H2532 vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and made Zedekiah H6667 his brother H251 king H4427 (8686) over Judah H3063 and Jerusalem H3389.
[11] Zedekiah H6667 [was] one H259 and twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and reigned H4427 (8804) eleven H259 H6240 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389.
[12] And he did H6213 (8799) [that which was] evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 his God H430, [and] humbled H3665 (8738) not himself before H6440 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 [speaking] from the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068.
[13] And he also rebelled H4775 (8804) against king H4428 Nebuchadnezzar H5019, who had made him swear H7650 (8689) by God H430: but he stiffened H7185 (8686) his neck H6203, and hardened H553 (8762) his heart H3824 from turning H7725 (8800) unto the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478.
[14] Moreover all the chief H8269 of the priests H3548, and the people H5971, transgressed H4603 (8800) very H4604 much H7235 (8689) after all the abominations H8441 of the heathen H1471; and polluted H2930 (8762) the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 which he had hallowed H6942 (8689) in Jerusalem H3389.
[15] And the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 sent H7971 (8799) to them by H3027 his messengers H4397, rising up betimes H7925 (8687), and sending H7971 (8800); because he had compassion H2550 (8804) on his people H5971, and on his dwelling place H4583:
[16] But they mocked H3931 (8688) the messengers H4397 of God H430, and despised H959 (8802) his words H1697, and misused H8591 (8700) his prophets H5030, until the wrath H2534 of the LORD H3068 arose H5927 (8800) against his people H5971, till [there was] no remedy H4832.
[17] Therefore he brought H5927 (8686) upon them the king H4428 of the Chaldees H3778, who slew H2026 (8799) their young men H970 with the sword H2719 in the house H1004 of their sanctuary H4720, and had no compassion H2550 (8804) upon young man H970 or maiden H1330, old man H2205, or him that stooped for age H3486: he gave H5414 (8804) [them] all into his hand H3027.
[18] And all the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of God H430, great H1419 and small H6996, and the treasures H214 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, and the treasures H214 of the king H4428, and of his princes H8269; all [these] he brought H935 (8689) to Babylon H894.
[19] And they burnt H8313 (8799) the house H1004 of God H430, and brake down H5422 (8762) the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389, and burnt H8313 (8804) all the palaces H759 thereof with fire H784, and destroyed H7843 (8687) all the goodly H4261 vessels H3627 thereof.
[20] And them that had escaped H7611 from the sword H2719 carried he away H1540 (8686) to Babylon H894; where they were servants H5650 to him and his sons H1121 until the reign H4427 (8800) of the kingdom H4438 of Persia H6539:
[21] To fulfil H4390 (8763) the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414, until the land H776 had enjoyed H7521 (8804) her sabbaths H7676: [for] as long as H3117 she lay desolate H8074 (8715) she kept sabbath H7673 (8804), to fulfil H4390 (8763) threescore and ten H7657 years H8141.
[22] Now in the first H259 year H8141 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 [spoken] by the mouth H6310 of Jeremiah H3414 might be accomplished H3615 (8800), the LORD H3068 stirred up H5782 (8689) the spirit H7307 of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, that he made a proclamation H5674 (8686) H6963 throughout all his kingdom H4438, and [put it] also in writing H4385, saying H559 (8800),
[23] Thus saith H559 (8804) Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia H6539, All the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 hath the LORD H3068 God H430 of heaven H8064 given H5414 (8804) me; and he hath charged H6485 (8804) me to build H1129 (8800) him an house H1004 in Jerusalem H3389, which [is] in Judah H3063. Who [is there] among you of all his people H5971? The LORD H3068 his God H430 [be] with him, and let him go up H5927 (8799).

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Chronicles 36 (YLT)

[1] And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
[2] A son of three and twenty years is Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem,
[3] and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and fineth the land a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;
[4] and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in to Egypt.
[5] A son of twenty and five years is Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God;
[6] against him hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon.
[7] And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in Babylon.
[8] And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead.
[9] A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
[10] and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.
[11] A son of twenty and one years is Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;
[12] and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Jehovah;
[13] and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, God of Israel.
[14] Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem.
[15] And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers-rising early and sending-for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,
[16] and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people-till there is no healing.
[17] And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged-the whole He hath given into his hand.
[18] And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes-the whole he hath brought in to Babylon.
[19] And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels-to destruction.
[20] And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,
[21] to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath-to the fulness of seventy years.
[22] And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
[23] ‘Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that is in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God is with him, and he doth go up.’
