2 Kings 24

Babylon Controls Jehoiakim

1

 aIn his daysh3117 Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894 cameh5927 up, and Jehoiakimh3079 becameh1961 his servanth5650 for threeh7969 yearsh8141; then he turnedh7725 and rebelledh4775 against him.

2

The LORDh3068 senth7971 against him  abandsh1416 of Chaldeansh3778,  bbandsh1416 of Arameansh758,  cbandsh1416 of Moabitesh4124, and bandsh1416 of Ammonitesh1121h5983. So He senth7971 them against Judahh3063 to destroyh6 it,  daccording to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He had spokenh1696 throughh3027 His servantsh5650 the prophetsh5030.

3

 aSurelyh389 at the  1commandh6310 of the LORDh3068 it cameh1961 upon Judahh3063, to removeh5493 them from His sighth6440  bbecause of the sinsh2403b of Manassehh4519, according to allh3605 that he had doneh6213a,

4

and  aalsoh1571 for the innocenth5355a bloodh1818 whichh834 he shedh8210, for he filledh4390 Jerusalemh3389 with innocenth5355a bloodh1818; and the LORDh3068 wouldh14 not forgiveh5545.

5

Now the resth3499a of the actsh1697 of Jehoiakimh3079 and allh3605 that he didh6213a, are they not writtenh3789 in the Bookh5612 of the Chroniclesh1697h3117 of the Kingsh4428 of Judahh3063?

7

 aThe kingh4428 of Egypth4714 didh3254 not comeh3318 out of his landh776 againh5750h3254,  bfor the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 had takenh3947 allh3605 that belongedh1961 to the kingh4428 of Egypth4714 from  cthe brookh5158a of Egypth4714 to the riverh5104 Euphratesh6578.
