36:1 Then the people 5971 of the land 776 took 3947 8799 Jehoahaz 3059 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977, and made him king 4427 8686 in his father's 1 stead in Jerusalem 3389.

36:2 Jehoahaz 3099 [was] twenty 6242 and three 7969 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427 8800, and he reigned 4427 8804 three 7969 months 2320 in Jerusalem 3389.

36:3 And the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 put him down 5493 8686 at Jerusalem 3389, and condemned 6064 8799 the land 776 in an hundred 3967 talents 3603 of silver 3701 and a talent 3603 of gold 2091.(put…: Heb. removed him)

36:4 And the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 made Eliakim 471 his brother 251 king 4427 8686 over Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389, and turned 5437 8686 his name 8034 to Jehoiakim 3079. And Necho 5224 took 3947 8804 Jehoahaz 3099 his brother 251, and carried 935 8686 him to Egypt 4714.

36:5 Jehoiakim 3079 [was] twenty 6242 and five 2568 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427 8800, and he reigned 4427 8804 eleven 259 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389: and he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 his God 430.

36:6 Against him came up 5927 8804 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894, and bound 631 8799 him in fetters 5178, to carry 3212 8687 him to Babylon 894.(fetters: or, chains)

36:7 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 also carried 935 8689 of the vessels 3627 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 to Babylon 894, and put 5414 8799 them in his temple 1964 at Babylon 894.

36:8 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jehoiakim 3079, and his abominations 8441 which he did 6213 8804, and that which was found 4672 8737 in him, behold, they [are] written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the kings 4428 of Israel 3478 and Judah 3063: and Jehoiachin 3078 his son 1121 reigned 4427 8799 in his stead.(Jehoiachin: or, Jeconiah, I.Chro.3.16. or, Coniah ier.22.24.)

36:9 Jehoiachin 3078 [was] eight 8083 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427 8800, and he reigned 4427 8804 three 7969 months 2320 and ten 6235 days 3117 in Jerusalem 3389: and he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068.

36:10 And when the year 8141 was expired 8666, king 4428 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 sent 7971 8804, and brought 935 8686 him to Babylon 894, with the goodly 2532 vessels 3627 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and made Zedekiah 6667 his brother 251 king 4427 8686 over Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389.(when…: Heb. at the return of the year)(goodly…: Heb. vessels of desire)(Zedekiah…: or, Mattaniah, his father's brother)

36:11 Zedekiah 6667 [was] one 259 and twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign 4427 8800, and reigned 4427 8804 eleven 259 6240 years 8141 in Jerusalem 3389.

36:12 And he did 6213 8799 [that which was] evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 his God 430, [and] humbled 3665 8738 not himself before 6440 Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 [speaking] from the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068.

36:13 And he also rebelled 4775 8804 against king 4428 Nebuchadnezzar 5019, who had made him swear 7650 8689 by God 430: but he stiffened 7185 8686 his neck 6203, and hardened 553 8762 his heart 3824 from turning 7725 8800 unto the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478.

36:14 Moreover all the chief 8269 of the priests 3548, and the people 5971, transgressed 4603 8800 very 4604 much 7235 8689 after all the abominations 8441 of the heathen 1471; and polluted 2930 8762 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 which he had hallowed 6942 8689 in Jerusalem 3389.

36:15 And the LORD 3068 God 430 of their fathers 1 sent 7971 8799 to them by 3027 his messengers 4397, rising up betimes 7925 8687, and sending 7971 8800; because he had compassion 2550 8804 on his people 5971, and on his dwelling place 4583:(by: Heb. by the hand of)(betimes: that is, continually and carefully)

36:16 But they mocked 3931 8688 the messengers 4397 of God 430, and despised 959 8802 his words 1697, and misused 8591 8700 his prophets 5030, until the wrath 2534 of the LORD 3068 arose 5927 8800 against his people 5971, till [there was] no remedy 4832.(remedy: Heb. healing)

36:17 Therefore he brought 5927 8686 upon them the king 4428 of the Chaldees 3778, who slew 2026 8799 their young men 970 with the sword 2719 in the house 1004 of their sanctuary 4720, and had no compassion 2550 8804 upon young man 970 or maiden 1330, old man 2205, or him that stooped for age 3486: he gave 5414 8804 [them] all into his hand 3027.

36:18 And all the vessels 3627 of the house 1004 of God 430, great 1419 and small 6996, and the treasures 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and the treasures 214 of the king 4428, and of his princes 8269; all [these] he brought 935 8689 to Babylon 894.

36:19 And they burnt 8313 8799 the house 1004 of God 430, and brake down 5422 8762 the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389, and burnt 8313 8804 all the palaces 759 thereof with fire 784, and destroyed 7843 8687 all the goodly 4261 vessels 3627 thereof.

36:20 And them that had escaped 7611 from the sword 2719 carried he away 1540 8686 to Babylon 894; where they were servants 5650 to him and his sons 1121 until the reign 4427 8800 of the kingdom 4438 of Persia 6539:(them…: Heb. the remainder from the sword)

36:21 To fulfil 4390 8763 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by the mouth 6310 of Jeremiah 3414, until the land 776 had enjoyed 7521 8804 her sabbaths 7676: [for] as long as 3117 she lay desolate 8074 8715 she kept sabbath 7673 8804, to fulfil 4390 8763 threescore and ten 7657 years 8141.

36:22 Now in the first 259 year 8141 of Cyrus 3566 king 4428 of Persia 6539, that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 [spoken] by the mouth 6310 of Jeremiah 3414 might be accomplished 3615 8800, the LORD 3068 stirred up 5782 8689 the spirit 7307 of Cyrus 3566 king 4428 of Persia 6539, that he made a proclamation 5674 8686 6963 throughout all his kingdom 4438, and [put it] also in writing 4385, saying 559 8800,

36:23 Thus saith 559 8804 Cyrus 3566 king 4428 of Persia 6539, All the kingdoms 4467 of the earth 776 hath the LORD 3068 God 430 of heaven 8064 given 5414 8804 me; and he hath charged 6485 8804 me to build 1129 8800 him an house 1004 in Jerusalem 3389, which [is] in Judah 3063. Who [is there] among you of all his people 5971? The LORD 3068 his God 430 [be] with him, and let him go up 5927 8799.
