00:00.000 --> 00:05.960
Chapter 36 Then the people of the land
took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and made

00:05.960 --> 00:07.720
him king in his father's stead in
Jerusalem.

00:08.880 --> 00:12.720
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned

00:12.720 --> 00:13.820
three months in Jerusalem.

00:14.560 --> 00:18.280
And the king of Egypt put him down at
Jerusalem and condemned the land in a

00:18.280 --> 00:20.720
hundred talents of silver and a talent of
gold.

00:21.540 --> 00:25.940
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his
brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem,

00:26.360 --> 00:27.980
and turned his name to Jehoiakim.

00:28.720 --> 00:32.100
And Nego took Jehoahaz his brother and
carried him to Egypt.

00:32.980 --> 00:36.500
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned

00:36.500 --> 00:37.560
eleven years in Jerusalem.

00:38.240 --> 00:41.000
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord his God.

00:41.800 --> 00:46.020
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar,
king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters

00:46.020 --> 00:47.280
to carry him to Babylon.

00:48.580 --> 00:51.580
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels
of the house of the Lord to Babylon,

00:52.200 --> 00:53.820
and put them in his temple at Babylon.

00:54.820 --> 00:58.340
Now the rest of the act of Jehoiakim and
his abominations which he did,

00:58.640 --> 01:02.360
and that which was found in him,
behold, they are written in the book of

01:02.360 --> 01:03.600
the kings of Israel and Judah.

01:04.480 --> 01:06.900
And Jehoiakim his son reigned in his
stead.

01:08.080 --> 01:11.460
Jehoiakim was eight years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned three

01:11.460 --> 01:12.960
months and ten days in Jerusalem.

01:13.860 --> 01:16.160
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord.

01:17.060 --> 01:21.200
And when the year was expired,
king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him

01:21.200 --> 01:25.540
to Babylon with the goodly vessels of the
house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his

01:25.540 --> 01:27.360
brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

01:28.320 --> 01:32.160
Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when
he began to reign, and reigned eleven

01:32.160 --> 01:33.020
years in Jerusalem.

01:33.960 --> 01:37.860
And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not

01:37.860 --> 01:41.720
himself before Jeremiah the prophet,
speaking from the mouth of the Lord.

01:42.380 --> 01:45.960
And he also rebelled against king
Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by

01:45.960 --> 01:50.020
God, but he stiffened his neck and
hardened his heart from turning unto the

01:50.020 --> 01:50.900
Lord God of Israel.

01:51.480 --> 01:56.240
Moreover, all the chief of the priests and
the people transgressed very much after

01:56.240 --> 01:59.700
all the abominations of the heathen,
and polluted the house of the Lord,

02:00.060 --> 02:01.540
which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

02:02.380 --> 02:06.860
And the Lord God of their fathers sent to
them by his messengers, rising up at times

02:06.860 --> 02:11.040
and sending, because he had compassion on
his people and on his dwelling place.

02:11.760 --> 02:16.200
But they mocked the messengers of God,
and despised his words, and misused his

02:16.200 --> 02:20.140
prophets, until the wrath of the Lord
arose against his people, till there was

02:20.140 --> 02:20.600
no remedy.

02:21.440 --> 02:25.180
Therefore he brought upon them the king of
the Chaldees, who slew their young men

02:25.180 --> 02:29.120
with the sword in the house of their
sanctuary, and had no compassion upon

02:29.120 --> 02:32.620
young man or maiden, old man or him that
stooped for age.

02:32.880 --> 02:34.700
He gave them all into his hand.

02:35.280 --> 02:39.260
And all the vessels of the house of God,
great and small, and the treasures of the

02:39.260 --> 02:43.360
house of the Lord, and the treasures of
the king and of his princes, all these he

02:43.360 --> 02:44.040
brought to Babylon.

02:44.540 --> 02:47.720
And they burnt the house of God,
and break down the wall of Jerusalem,

02:47.720 --> 02:52.200
and burnt all the palaces thereof with
fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels

02:52.200 --> 02:52.720
thereof.

02:53.260 --> 02:57.340
And them that had escaped from the sword
carried he away to Babylon, where they

02:57.340 --> 03:00.820
were servants to him and his sons,
until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,

03:01.660 --> 03:06.080
to fulfil the word of the Lord by the
mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had

03:06.080 --> 03:07.320
enjoyed her sabbaths.

03:07.500 --> 03:11.700
For as long as she lay desolate she kept
sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten

03:11.700 --> 03:12.040
years.

03:12.820 --> 03:16.740
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of
Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken

03:16.740 --> 03:20.420
by the mouth of Jeremiah might be
accomplished, the Lord stirred up the

03:20.420 --> 03:24.300
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia,
that he made a proclamation throughout all

03:24.300 --> 03:29.840
his kingdom, and put it also in writing,
saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia,

03:30.660 --> 03:36.020
All the kingdoms of the earth hath the
Lord God of heaven given me, and he hath

03:36.020 --> 03:40.740
charged me to build him an house in
Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

03:41.320 --> 03:44.260
Who is there among you of all his people?

03:44.260 --> 03:48.600
The Lord his God be with him, and let him
go up.
