2 Chronicles 36:1-8 ▼

1 And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.

2 Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem,

3 and the king of Egypt turns him aside in Jerusalem, and fines the land one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;

4 and the king of Egypt causes his brother Eliakim to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turns his name to Jehoiakim; and Necho has taken his brother Jehoahaz and brings him to Egypt.

5 Jehoiakim [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH;

6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up against him, and binds him in bronze chains to take him away to Babylon.

7 And Nebuchadnezzar has brought from the vessels of the house of YHWH to Babylon, and puts them in his temple in Babylon.

8 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he has done, and that which is found against him, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah, and his son Jehoiachin reigns in his stead.
