00:00.000 --> 00:07.460
Chapter 24 In his days Nebuchadnezzar,
king of Babylon, came up, and Jehoiakim

00:07.460 --> 00:09.160
became his servant three years.

00:10.180 --> 00:12.280
Then he turned and rebelled against him.

00:13.080 --> 00:17.340
And the Lord sent against him bands of the
Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians,

00:17.740 --> 00:22.040
and bands of the Moabites, and bands of
the children of Ammon, and sent them

00:22.040 --> 00:26.680
against Judah to destroy it, according to
the word of the Lord, which he spake by

00:26.680 --> 00:27.840
his servants the prophets.

00:28.500 --> 00:33.620
Surely at the commandment of the Lord came
this upon Judah, to remove them out of his

00:33.620 --> 00:39.160
sight for the sins of Manasseh,
according to all that he did, and also for

00:39.160 --> 00:40.660
the innocent blood that he shed.

00:41.360 --> 00:46.520
For he filled Jerusalem with innocent
blood, which the Lord would not pardon.

00:47.420 --> 00:51.940
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and
all that he did, are they not written in

00:51.940 --> 00:53.960
the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Judah?

00:54.800 --> 00:56.620
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.

00:57.740 --> 01:00.560
And Jehoiakim, his son, reigned in his
stead.

01:01.880 --> 01:04.760
And the king of Egypt came not again any
more out of his land.

01:05.320 --> 01:09.920
For the king of Babylon had taken from the
river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates

01:09.920 --> 01:12.300
all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

01:14.000 --> 01:17.980
Jehoiakim was eighteen years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned in

01:17.980 --> 01:19.060
Jerusalem three months.

01:19.840 --> 01:24.300
And his mother's name was Nehushtah,
the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

01:24.880 --> 01:28.740
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, according to all that

01:28.740 --> 01:29.700
his father had done.

01:30.640 --> 01:33.560
At that time the servants of
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,

01:34.040 --> 01:37.100
came up against Jerusalem, and the city
was besieged.

01:37.780 --> 01:42.180
And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,
came against the city, and his servants

01:42.180 --> 01:43.100
did besiege it.

01:43.960 --> 01:47.400
And Jehoiakim, the king of Judah,
went out to the king of Babylon,

01:47.820 --> 01:50.740
he and his mother and his servants and his
princes and his officers.

01:51.540 --> 01:54.820
And the king of Babylon took him in the
eighth year of his reign.

01:55.540 --> 01:58.780
And he carried out thence all the
treasures of the house of the Lord,

01:59.060 --> 02:03.860
and the treasures of the king's house,
and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold,

02:04.220 --> 02:07.400
which Solomon, king of Israel,
had made in the temple of the Lord,

02:07.860 --> 02:08.980
as the Lord had said.

02:09.900 --> 02:14.200
And he carried away all Jerusalem,
and all the princes, and all the mighty

02:14.200 --> 02:19.760
men of valor, even ten thousand captives,
and all the craftsmen and smiths.

02:20.400 --> 02:23.920
None remained, save the poorest sort of
the people of the land.

02:25.140 --> 02:29.600
And he carried away Jehoiakim to Babylon,
and the king's mother, and the king's

02:29.600 --> 02:32.600
wives, and his officers, and the mighty of
the land.

02:32.900 --> 02:36.900
Those carried he into captivity from
Jerusalem to Babylon.

02:37.660 --> 02:42.440
And all the men of might, even seven
thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a

02:42.440 --> 02:48.120
thousand, all that was strong and apt for
war, even them the king of Babylon brought

02:48.120 --> 02:49.080
captive to Babylon.

02:50.140 --> 02:54.860
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah,
his father's brother, king in his stead,

02:55.820 --> 02:57.520
and changed his name to Zedekiah.

02:58.600 --> 03:03.260
Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when
he began to reign, and he reigned eleven

03:03.260 --> 03:04.240
years in Jerusalem.

03:05.380 --> 03:09.260
And his mother's name was Hamutil,
the daughter of Jeremiah of Libna.

03:10.220 --> 03:14.260
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord, according to all that

03:14.260 --> 03:15.500
Jehoiakim had done.

03:16.520 --> 03:20.540
For through the anger of the Lord it came
to pass in Jerusalem and Judah,

03:21.180 --> 03:25.500
until he had cast them out from his
presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against

03:25.500 --> 03:26.420
the king of Babylon.
