24:1 In his days 3117 Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 came up 5927 8804, and Jehoiakim 3079 became his servant 5650 three 7969 years 8141: then he turned 7725 8799 and rebelled 4775 8799 against him.

24:2 And the LORD 3068 sent 7971 8762 against him bands 1416 of the Chaldees 3778, and bands 1416 of the Syrians 758, and bands 1416 of the Moabites 4124, and bands 1416 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, and sent 7971 8762 them against Judah 3063 to destroy 6 8687 it, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he spake 1696 8765 by 3027 his servants 5650 the prophets 5030.(by: Heb. by the hand of)

24:3 Surely at the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068 came [this] upon Judah 3063, to remove 5493 8687 [them] out of his sight 6440, for the sins 2403 of Manasseh 4519, according to all that he did 6213 8804;

24:4 And also for the innocent 5355 blood 1818 that he shed 8210 8804: for he filled 4390 8762 Jerusalem 3389 with innocent 5355 blood 1818; which the LORD 3068 would 14 8804 not pardon 5545 8800.

24:5 Now the rest 3499 of the acts 1697 of Jehoiakim 3079, and all that he did 6213 8804, [are] they not written 3789 8803 in the book 5612 of the chronicles 1697 3117 of the kings 4428 of Judah 3063?

24:7 And the king 4428 of Egypt 4714 came 3318 8800 not again 3254 8689 any more out of his land 776: for the king 4428 of Babylon 894 had taken 3947 8804 from the river 5158 of Egypt 4714 unto the river 5104 Euphrates 6578 all that pertained to the king 4428 of Egypt 4714.

24:10 At that time 6256 the servants 5650 of Nebuchadnezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 came up 5927 8804 against Jerusalem 3389, and the city 5892 was besieged 935 8799 4692.(was…: Heb. came into siege)
