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.
24 During his reign, the Babylonian King Nevukadnetstsar attacked and Yehoyakim ruled under him for three years before rebelling against him. 2 Then 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. 3 Those things troubled Yehudah at Yahweh’s command to remove them out of his sight because of all of King Menashsheh’s sins 4 and because he’d killed innocent people—Yahweh wouldn’t forgive him because he’d filled Yerushalem with innocent blood.
5 Everything else that Yehoyakim said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 6 Then Yehoyakim died and his son Yehoyakin replaced him as king.
7 The 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
8 Yehoyakin was eighteen when he became king, but he reigned from Yerushalem for only three months. 9 He did what Yahweh had said was evil just like his father had done.
10 At that time, the Babylonian king Nevukadnetstsar sent his army to besiege Yerushalem, 11 and Nevukadnetstsar himself travelled there to observe the operation. 12 Yehudah’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. 13 Then 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. 14 Then 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.
15 King Yehoyakin was exiled from Yerushalem to Babylon, along with his mother and wives, his officials, 16 seven thousand top soldiers, and a thousand skilled craftsmen and blacksmiths—leaving no one behind to fight or make weapons.
17 Then 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
18 Tsedkiyyah (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.) 19 He did what Yahweh had said was evil, just like Yehoyakin had done. 20 Because Yahweh was still very angry, he had the people of Yerushalem and all Yehudah driven away out of his sight.
