II Kings 24

beyamayw alah nevukhadnetsar melekh bavel vayehi-lo yehoyaqim eved shalosh shanim vayyashov vayyimrod-bo

In his days, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.

vayeshallakh Adonai bo et-gedude khasdim ve'et-gedude aram ve'et gedude mo'av ve'et gedude vene-ammon vayeshallekhem bihudah leha'avido kidvar Adonai asher dibber beyad avadayw hannevi'im

GOD let loose against him the raiding bands of the Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites—letting them loose against Judah to destroy it, in accordance with the word that GOD had spoken through the prophets—God’s servants.

akh al-pi Adonai hayetah bihudah lehasir me'al panayw bekhattot menasheh kekhol asher asah

All this befell Judah at the command of GOD, who banished [them] from the divine presence because of all the sins that Manasseh had committed,

vegam dam-hannaqi asher shafakh vayemalle et-yerushalai͏m dam naqi velo-avah Adonai lisloakh

and also because of the blood of the innocent that he shed. For he filled Jerusalem with the blood of the innocent, and GOD would not forgive.

veyeter divre yehoyaqim vekhol-asher asah halo-hem ketuvim al-sefer divre hayyamim lemalkhe yehudah

The other events of Jehoiakim’s reign, and all of his actions, are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Judah.

vayyishkav yehoyaqim im-avotayw vayyimlokh yehoyakhin beno takhtayw

Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.

velo-hosif od melekh mitsrayim latset me'artso ki-laqakh melekh bavel minnakhal mitsrayim ad-nehar-perat kol asher hayetah lemelekh mitsrayim

The king of Egypt did not venture out of his country again, for the king of Babylon had seized all the land that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the Wadi of Egypt to the River Euphrates.

ben-shemoneh esreh shanah yehoyakhin bemolkho usheloshah khodashim malakh birushalai͏m veshem immo nekhushta vat-elnatan mirushalai͏m

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; his mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

vayya'as hara be'ene Adonai kekhol asher-asah aviv

He did what was displeasing to GOD, just as his father had done.

ba'et hahi (lh) [alu] avde nevukhadnetsar melekh-bavel yerushalai͏m vattavo ha'ir bammatsor

At that time, the troops of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon marched against Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.

vayyavo nevukhadnetsar melekh-bavel al-ha'ir va'avadayw tsarim aleha

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon advanced against the city while his troops were besieging it.

vayyetse yehoyakhin melekh-yehudah al-melekh bavel hu ve'immo va'avadayw vesarayw vesarisayw vayyiqqakh oto melekh bavel bishnat shemoneh lemolkho

Thereupon King Jehoiachin of Judah, along with his mother, and his courtiers, commanders, and officers, surrendered to the king of Babylon. The king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.

vayyotse misham et-kol-otserot bet Adonai ve'otserot bet hammelekh vayeqatsets et-kol-kele hazzahav asher asah shelomoh melekh-yisra'el behekhal Adonai ka'asher dibber Adonai

He carried off from Jerusalem all the treasures of the House of GOD and the treasures of the royal palace; he stripped off all the golden decorations in the Temple of GOD—which King Solomon of Israel had made—as GOD had warned.

vehiglah et-kol-yerushalai͏m ve'et-kol-hassarim ve'et kol-gibbore hakhayil (shrh) [aseret] alafim goleh vekhol-hekharash vehammasger lo nishar zulat dallat am-ha'arets

He exiled all of Jerusalem: all the commanders and all the warriors—ten thousand exiles—as well as all the artisans and smiths; only the poorest people in the land were left.

vayyegel et-yehoyakhin bavelah ve'et-em hammelekh ve'et-neshe hammelekh ve'et-sarisayw ve'et (vly) [ele] ha'arets holikh golah mirushalai͏m bavelah

He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother and wives and officers and the notables of the land were brought as exiles from Jerusalem to Babylon.

ve'et kol-anshe hakhayil shivat alafim vehekharash vehammasger elef hakkol gibborim ose milkhamah vayevi'em melekh-bavel golah bavelah

All the able men, to the number of seven thousand—all of them warriors, trained for battle—and a thousand artisans and smiths were brought to Babylon as exiles by the king of Babylon.

vayyamlekh melekh-bavel et-mattanyah dodo takhtayw vayyassev et-shemo tsidqiyyahu

And the king of Babylon appointed Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, changing his name to Zedekiah.

ben-esrim ve'akhat shanah tsidqiyyahu vemolkho ve'akhat esreh shanah malakh birushalai͏m veshem immo (khmytl) [khamutal] bat-yirmeyahu millivnah

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; his mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

vayya'as hara be'ene Adonai kekhol asher-asah yehoyaqim

He did what was displeasing to GOD, just as Jehoiakim had done.

ki al-af Adonai hayetah virushalai͏m uvihudah ad-hishlikho otam me'al panayw vayyimrod tsidqiyyahu bemelekh bavel

Indeed, Jerusalem and Judah were a cause of anger for GOD, so that they were cast out from the divine presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
