Liber Secundus Regum

II Regum, chapter 24, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 24 Vulgate

   1 In diebus eius ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et factus est ei Ioachim servus tribus annis et rursum rebellavit contra eum.
   2 Immisitque ei Dominus turmas Chaldaeorum et turmas Syriae, turmas Moab et turmas filiorum Ammon; et immisit eas in Iudam, ut disperderent eum iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus erat per servos suos prophetas.
   3 Factum est autem hoc propter iram Domini contra Iudam, ut auferret eum de conspectu suo propter peccata Manasse universa, quae fecit,
   4 et propter sanguinem innoxium, quem effudit et implevit Ierusalem cruore innocentium; et ob hanc rem noluit Dominus propitiari.
   5 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioachim et universa, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae? Et dormivit Ioachim cum patribus suis;
   6 regnavitque Ioachin filius eius pro eo.
   7 Et ultra non addidit rex Aegypti ut egrederetur de terra sua; tulerat enim rex Babylonis a rivo Aegypti usque ad fluvium Euphraten omnia, quae fuerant regis Aegypti.
   8 Decem et octo annorum erat Ioachin, cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Naestha filia Elnathan de Ierusalem.
   9 Et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia, quae fecerat pater eius.
   10 In tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Ierusalem, et venit urbs in obsidione.
   11 Venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem, cum servi eius oppugnarent eam;
   12 egressusque est Ioachin rex Iudae ad regem Babylonis ipse et mater eius et servi eius et principes eius et eunuchi eius; et cepit eum rex Babylonis anno octavo regni sui.
   13 Et protulit inde omnes thesauros domus Domini et thesauros domus regiae et concidit universa vasa aurea, quae fecerat Salomon rex Israel in templo Domini, iuxta verbum Domini.
   14 Et transtulit omnem Ierusalem et universos principes et omnes fortes exercitus decem milia in captivitatem et omnem artificem et clusorem; nihilque relictum est, exceptis pauperibus populi terrae.
   15 Transtulit quoque Ioachin in Babylonem; et matrem regis et uxores regis et eunuchos eius et cives validos terrae duxit in captivitatem de Ierusalem in Babylonem
   16 et omnes viros robustos septem milia et artifices et clusores mille, omnes viros fortes bellatores; duxitque eos rex Babylonis captivos in Babylonem.
   17 Et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo; imposuitque nomen ei Sedeciam.
   18 Vicesimum et primum annum aetatis habebat Sedecias, cum regnare coepisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius erat Amital filia Ieremiae de Lobna.
   19 Et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia, quae fecerat Ioachim;
   20 irascebatur enim Dominus contra Ierusalem et contra Iudam, donec proiceret eos a facie sua. Recessitque Sedecias a rege Babylonis.

King James Version

   1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
   2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
   3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
   4 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
   5 ¶ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
   7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
   8 ¶ Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
   9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
   10 ¶ At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
   11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
   12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
   13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
   14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
   15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
   16 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
   17 ¶ And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
   18 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
   19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
   20 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
