This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

24During his reign, the Babylonian King Nevukadnetstsar attacked and Yehoyakim ruled under him for three years before rebelling against him. 2Then Yahweh sent troops of Chaldeans, troops from Aram, troops from Moab, and Ammonite troops against Yehudah at different times to destroy them, just as Yahweh had said through his servants the prophets. 3Those things troubled Yehudah at Yahweh’s command to remove them out of his sight because of all of King Menashsheh’s sins 4and because he’d killed innocent peopleYahweh wouldn’t forgive him because he’d filled Yerushalem with innocent blood.

5Everything else that Yehoyakim said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 6Then Yehoyakim died and his son Yehoyakin replaced him as king.

7The Egyptian king didn’t continue his attacks on other countries, because the Babylonian king captured land all the way from the Egyptian river as far as the Euphrates River—everything that had been controlled by Egypt.

24:8 Yehoyakin’s reign over Yehudah

(2 Chr. 36:9-10)

8Yehoyakin was eighteen when he became king, but he reigned from Yerushalem for only three months. 9He did what Yahweh had said was evil just like his father had done.

10At that time, the Babylonian king Nevukadnetstsar sent his army to besiege Yerushalem, 11and Nevukadnetstsar himself travelled there to observe the operation. 12Yehudah’s King Yehoyakin went out to surrender to the Babylonian king, along with his mother, his servants, his captains, and his officials. So the Babylonian king took him captive in the eighth year of his reign. 13Then all the valuables were brought out of Yahweh’s temple and the palace. All the gold furnishings that had been made for the temple by King Shelomoh were cut into pieces. 14Then all the army leaders and officials, and all the craftsmen and blacksmith from Yerushalem (some ten thousand people) were taken into exile, leaving only the poorer people behind.

15King Yehoyakin was exiled from Yerushalem to Babylon, along with his mother and wives, his officials, 16seven thousand top soldiers, and a thousand skilled craftsmen and blacksmiths—leaving no one behind to fight or make weapons.

17Then the Babylonian king appointed Yehoyakin’s uncle Mattanyah as king in his place and he changed his name to Tsedkiyyah (Zedekiah).

24:18 Tsedkiyyah/Zedekiah’s reign over Yehudah

(2 Chr. 36:11-12, Jer. 52:1-3a)

18Tsedkiyyah (Zedekiah) was twenty-one when he became king and he reigned from Yerushalem for eleven years. (His mother was Yirmeyah’s daughter Hamutal from Livnah.) 19He did what Yahweh had said was evil, just like Yehoyakin had done. 20Because Yahweh was still very angry, he had the people of Yerushalem and all Yehudah driven away out of his sight.

Then Tsedkiyyah rebelled against the Babylonian king.
