2 Kings 24 (WEBP)

[1] In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
[2] Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
[3] Surely at the commandment of Yahweh this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
[4] and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Yahweh would not pardon.
[5] Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[6] So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
[7] The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
[8] Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
[9] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
[10] At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
[11] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
[12] and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
[13] He carried out from there all the treasures of Yahweh’s house 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 Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh had said.
[14] He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
[15] He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
[16] All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
[17] The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
[18] Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
[19] He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
[20] For through the anger of Yahweh, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

[1] εν ταις ημεραις αυτου ανεβη ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος και εγενηθη αυτω ιωακιμ δουλος τρια ετη και επεστρεψεν και ηθετησεν εν αυτω
[2] και απεστειλεν αυτω τους μονοζωνους των χαλδαιων και τους μονοζωνους συριας και τους μονοζωνους μωαβ και τους μονοζωνους υιων αμμων και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους εν τη γη ιουδα του κατισχυσαι κατα τον λογον κυριου ον ελαλησεν εν χειρι των δουλων αυτου των προφητων
[3] πλην επι τον θυμον κυριου ην εν τω ιουδα αποστησαι αυτον απο προσωπου αυτου εν αμαρτιαις μανασση κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν
[4] και γε αιμα αθωον εξεχεεν και επλησεν την ιερουσαλημ αιματος αθωου και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος ιλασθηναι
[5] και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωακιμ και παντα οσα εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα
[6] και εκοιμηθη ιωακιμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εβασιλευσεν ιωακιμ υιος αυτου αντ αυτου
[7] και ου προσεθετο ετι βασιλευς αιγυπτου εξελθειν εκ της γης αυτου οτι ελαβεν βασιλευς βαβυλωνος απο του χειμαρρου αιγυπτου εως του ποταμου ευφρατου παντα οσα ην του βασιλεως αιγυπτου
[8] υιος οκτωκαιδεκα ετων ιωακιμ εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και τριμηνον εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου νεσθα θυγατηρ ελλαναθαν εξ ιερουσαλημ
[9] και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν ο πατηρ αυτου
[10] εν τω καιρω εκεινω ανεβη ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος εις ιερουσαλημ και ηλθεν η πολις εν περιοχη
[11] και εισηλθεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος εις την πολιν και οι παιδες αυτου επολιορκουν επ αυτην
[12] και εξηλθεν ιωακιμ βασιλευς ιουδα επι βασιλεα βαβυλωνος αυτος και οι παιδες αυτου και η μητηρ αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου και οι ευνουχοι αυτου και ελαβεν αυτον βασιλευς βαβυλωνος εν ετει ογδοω της βασιλειας αυτου
[13] και εξηνεγκεν εκειθεν παντας τους θησαυρους οικου κυριου και τους θησαυρους οικου του βασιλεως και συνεκοψεν παντα τα σκευη τα χρυσα α εποιησεν σαλωμων βασιλευς ισραηλ εν τω ναω κυριου κατα το ρημα κυριου
[14] και απωκισεν την ιερουσαλημ και παντας τους αρχοντας και τους δυνατους ισχυι αιχμαλωσιας δεκα χιλιαδας αιχμαλωτισας και παν τεκτονα και τον συγκλειοντα και ουχ υπελειφθη πλην οι πτωχοι της γης
[15] και απωκισεν τον ιωακιμ εις βαβυλωνα και την μητερα του βασιλεως και τας γυναικας του βασιλεως και τους ευνουχους αυτου και τους ισχυρους της γης απηγαγεν αποικεσιαν εξ ιερουσαλημ εις βαβυλωνα
[16] και παντας τους ανδρας της δυναμεως επτακισχιλιους και τον τεκτονα και τον συγκλειοντα χιλιους παντες δυνατοι ποιουντες πολεμον και ηγαγεν αυτους βασιλευς βαβυλωνος μετοικεσιαν εις βαβυλωνα
[17] και εβασιλευσεν βασιλευς βαβυλωνος τον μαθθανιαν υιον αυτου αντ αυτου και επεθηκεν το ονομα αυτου σεδεκια
[18] υιος εικοσι και ενος ενιαυτου σεδεκιας εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και ενδεκα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου αμιταλ θυγατηρ ιερεμιου
[19] και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν ιωακιμ
[20] οτι επι τον θυμον κυριου ην επι ιερουσαλημ και εν τω ιουδα εως απερριψεν αυτους απο προσωπου αυτου και ηθετησεν σεδεκιας εν τω βασιλει βαβυλωνος
