7. Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and his abominations which he did and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his stead.
9. Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
10. And when the year was expired, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and caused him to be brought to Babylon with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord and made Zedekiah, his brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11. Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah, the prophet, who spoke unto him from the mouth of the Lord.
13. He rebelled, likewise, against King Nebuchadnezzar, unto whom he had sworn by God; but he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.
14. Moreover, all the princes of the priests and the people increased the rebellion, rebelling according to all the abominations of the Gentiles and polluting the house of the Lord which he had sanctified in Jerusalem.
15. And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by the hand of his messengers, rising up early, and sending because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.
16. But they mocked the messengers of God and despised his words and misused his prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.
