  And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about. 2  And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 3  And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land. 4  And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain. 5  And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him. 6  So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him. 7  And they slew t...

  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 ki...

  And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 2  And the king went up into the house of the  Lord , and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the  Lord . 3  And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the  Lord , to walk after the  Lord , and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant. 4  And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the  Lord  all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and...

  Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath. 2  And he did that which was right in the sight of the  Lord , and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left. 3  And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the  Lord , saying, 4  Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the  Lord , which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people: 5  And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the  Lord : and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the  Lord , to repair the breaches of the house, 6  Unto carpenters, ...

  Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. 2  And he did that which was evil in the sight of the  Lord , after the abominations of the heathen, whom the  Lord  cast out before the children of Israel. 3  For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them. 4  And he built altars in the house of the  Lord , of which the  Lord  said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 5  And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the  Lord . 6  And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the  Lord , to provoke him to ang...
