2 Kings 24:8-17

New American Standard Bible

^8 (A)Jehoiachin was ^(B)eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. ⁹ He did evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(C)in accordance with all that his father had done.

Deportation to Babylon

¹⁰ At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon went up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege. ¹¹ And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it. ¹² Then ^(D)Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials. And ^(E)the king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign. ^13 (F)He also brought out from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house, and he ^(G)smashed all the articles of gold ^(H)that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, just as the Lord had said. ¹⁴ Then ^(I)he led into exile all the people of Jerusalem and all the commanders and all the valiant warriors, ^(J)ten thousand exiles, and ^(K)all the craftsmen and the smiths. None were left ^(L)except the poorest people of the land.

¹⁵ So ^(M)he led Jehoiachin into exile to Babylon; also the king’s mother, the king’s wives, and his officials and the leading men of the land, he led into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. ¹⁶ And all the valiant men, ^(N)seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, a thousand, all strong and fit for war, these too the king of Babylon brought into exile to Babylon.
