2 Kings 24:9-17

New International Version

⁹ He did evil^(A) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done.

¹⁰ At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar^(B) king of Babylon advanced on Jerusalem and laid siege to it, ¹¹ and Nebuchadnezzar himself came up to the city while his officers were besieging it. ¹² Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his attendants, his nobles and his officials all surrendered^(C) to him.

In the eighth year of the reign of the king of Babylon, he took Jehoiachin prisoner. ¹³ As the Lord had declared,^(D) Nebuchadnezzar removed the treasures^(E) from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace, and cut up the gold articles^(F) that Solomon^(G) king of Israel had made for the temple of the Lord. ¹⁴ He carried all Jerusalem into exile:^(H) all the officers and fighting men,^(I) and all the skilled workers and artisans—a total of ten thousand. Only the poorest^(J) people of the land were left.

¹⁵ Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin^(K) captive to Babylon. He also took from Jerusalem to Babylon the king’s mother,^(L) his wives, his officials and the prominent people^(M) of the land. ¹⁶ The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon the entire force of seven thousand fighting men, strong and fit for war, and a thousand skilled workers and artisans.^{(N) 17} He made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.^(O)
