STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 בְּיָמָיו עָלָה נְבֻכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיְהִי־לֹו יְהֹויָקִים עֶבֶד שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּמְרָד־בֹּו	1 During his reign Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, moved against him, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then Jehoiakim turned and rebelled against him.
2 וַיְשַׁלַּח יְהוָה ׀ בֹּו אֶת־גְּדוּדֵי כַשְׂדִּים וְאֶת־גְּדוּדֵי אֲרָם וְאֵת ׀ גְּדוּדֵי מֹואָב וְאֵת גְּדוּדֵי בְנֵי־עַמֹּון וַיְשַׁלְּחֵם בִּיהוּדָה לְהַאֲבִידֹו כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד עֲבָדָיו הַנְּבִיאִים	2 The LORD loosed against him bands of Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites; he loosed them against Judah to destroy it, as the LORD had threatened through his servants the prophets.
3 אַךְ ׀ עַל־פִּי יְהוָה הָיְתָה בִּיהוּדָה לְהָסִיר מֵעַל פָּנָיו בְּחַטֹּאת מְנַשֶּׁה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה	3 This befell Judah because the LORD had stated that he would inexorably put them out of his sight for the sins Manasseh had committed in all that he did;
4 וְגַם דַּם־הַנָּקִי אֲשֶׁר שָׁפָךְ וַיְמַלֵּא אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַם דָּם נָקִי וְלֹא־אָבָה יְהוָה לִסְלֹחַ	4 and especially because of the innocent blood he shed, with which he filled Jerusalem, the LORD would not forgive.
5 וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יְהֹויָקִים וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹא־הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה	5 The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, with all that he did, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 וַיִּשְׁכַּב יְהֹויָקִים עִם־אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהֹויָכִין בְּנֹו תַּחְתָּיו	6 Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
7 וְלֹא־הֹסִיף עֹוד מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם לָצֵאת מֵאַרְצֹו כִּי־לָקַח מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל מִנַּחַל מִצְרַיִם עַד־נְהַר־פְּרָת כֹּל אֲשֶׁר הָיְתָה לְמֶלֶךְ מִצְרָיִם׃ פ	7 The king of Egypt did not again leave his own land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8 בֶּן־שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה יְהֹויָכִין בְּמָלְכֹו וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו נְחֻשְׁתָּא בַת־אֶלְנָתָן מִירוּשָׁלִָם	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה אָבִיו	9 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his forebears had done.
10 בָּעֵת הַהִיא [עָלָה כ] (עָלוּ ק) עַבְדֵי נְבֻכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל יְרוּשָׁלִָם וַתָּבֹא הָעִיר בַּמָּצֹור	10 At that time the officials of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
11 וַיָּבֹא נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל עַל־הָעִיר וַעֲבָדָיו צָרִים עָלֶיהָ	11 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, himself arrived at the city while his servants were besieging it.
12 וַיֵּצֵא יְהֹויָכִין מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה עַל־מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל הוּא וְאִמֹּו וַעֲבָדָיו וְשָׂרָיו וְסָרִיסָיו וַיִּקַּח אֹתֹו מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת שְׁמֹנֶה לְמָלְכֹו	12 Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, together with his mother, his ministers, officers, and functionaries, surrendered to the king of Babylon, who, in the eighth year of his reign, took him captive.
13 וַיֹּוצֵא מִשָּׁם אֶת־כָּל־אֹוצְרֹות בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֹוצְרֹות בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹה מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה	13 He carried off all the treasures of the temple of the LORD and those of the palace, and broke up all the gold utensils that Solomon, king of Israel, had provided in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had foretold.
14 וְהִגְלָה אֶת־כָּל־יְרוּשָׁלִַם וְאֶת־כָּל־הַשָּׂרִים וְאֵת ׀ כָּל־גִּבֹּורֵי הַחַיִל [עֲשָׂרָה כ] (עֲשֶׂרֶת ק) אֲלָפִים גֹּולֶה וְכָל־הֶחָרָשׁ וְהַמַּסְגֵּר לֹא נִשְׁאַר זוּלַת דַּלַּת עַם־הָאָרֶץ	14 He deported all Jerusalem: all the officers and men of the army, ten thousand in number, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None were left among the people of the land except the poor.
15 וַיֶּגֶל אֶת־יְהֹויָכִין בָּבֶלָה וְאֶת־אֵם הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת־נְשֵׁי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת־סָרִיסָיו וְאֵת [אֱוִלֵי כ] (אֵילֵי ק) הָאָרֶץ הֹולִיךְ גֹּולָה מִירוּשָׁלִַם בָּבֶלָה	15 He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, and also led captive from Jerusalem to Babylon the king's mother and wives, his functionaries, and the chief men of the land.
16 וְאֵת כָּל־אַנְשֵׁי הַחַיִל שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וְהֶחָרָשׁ וְהַמַּסְגֵּר אֶלֶף הַכֹּל גִּבֹּורִים עֹשֵׂי מִלְחָמָה וַיְבִיאֵם מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל גֹּולָה בָּבֶלָה	16 The king of Babylon also led captive to Babylon all seven thousand men of the army, and a thousand craftsmen and smiths, all of them trained soldiers.
17 וַיַּמְלֵךְ מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל אֶת־מַתַּנְיָה דֹדֹו תַּחְתָּיו וַיַּסֵּב אֶת־שְׁמֹו צִדְקִיָּהוּ׃ פ	17 In place of Jehoiachin, the king of Babylon appointed his uncle Mattaniah king, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְאַחַת שָׁנָה צִדְקִיָּהוּ בְמָלְכֹו וְאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמֹּו [חֲמִיטַל כ] (חֲמוּטַל ק) בַּת־יִרְמְיָהוּ מִלִּבְנָה	18 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.
19 וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה יְהֹויָקִים	19 He also did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 כִּי ׀ עַל־אַף יְהוָה הָיְתָה בִירוּשָׁלִַם וּבִיהוּדָה עַד־הִשְׁלִכֹו אֹתָם מֵעַל פָּנָיו וַיִּמְרֹד צִדְקִיָּהוּ בְּמֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל׃ ס	20 The LORD'S anger befell Jerusalem and Judah till he cast them out from his presence. Thus Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
