New King James Version

¹¹ And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, as his servants were besieging it. ^12 (A)Then Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon, ^(B)in the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner.

The Captivity of Jerusalem

^13 (C)And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house, and he ^(D)cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, ^(E)as the Lord had said. ¹⁴ Also ^(F)he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ^(G)ten thousand captives, and ^(H)all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except ^(I)the poorest people of the land. ¹⁵ And ^(J)he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the mighty of the land he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. ^16 (K)All the valiant men, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
