| 1 | Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father`s place in Jerusalem. | 2Ch 26:1 2Ch 33:25 2Ki 23:30-37 |
| 2 | Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. |
| 3 | The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. | 2Ki 23:33 |

| 6 | Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. | 2Ki 24:1 2Ki 24:2 2Ki 24:5 2Ki 24:6 2Ki 24:13-20 Ezk 19:5-9 Dn 1:1 Dn 1:2 Hab 1:5-10 |
| 7 | Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. | 2Ki 24:13 Ezr 1:7-11 Jer 27:16-18 Jer 28:3 Dn 5:2-4 |
| 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 place. | 2Ki 24:5 2Ki 24:6 |
| 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 Yahweh. | 2Ki 24:8 2Ki 24:9 |

| 13 | He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel. | 2Ki 24:20 Jer 52:2 Jer 52:3 Ezk 17:11-20 |

| 15 | Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place: | 2Ch 24:18-21 2Ch 33:10 2Ki 17:13 Jer 25:3 Jer 25:4 Jer 26:5 Jer 35:15 Jer 44:4 Jer 44:5 |
| 16 | but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy. | 2Ch 30:10 Ps 35:16 Isa 28:22 Jer 5:12 Jer 5:13 Jer 20:7 Lk 18:32 Lk 22:63 Lk 22:64 Lk 23:11 Lk 23:36 Ac 2:13 Ac 17:32 Heb 11:36 |

| 18 | All the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon. | 2Ch 36:7 2Ch 36:10 2Ki 25:13-17 Jer 27:18-22 Jer 52:17-23 Dn 5:3 |
| 19 | They burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces of it with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it. | 2Ki 25:9 Ps 74:4-8 Ps 79:1 Ps 79:7 Isa 64:10 Isa 64:11 Jer 7:4 Jer 7:14 Jer 52:13 Lam 4:1 Mic 3:12 Lk 21:6 |

| 22 | Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying, | Ezr 1:1-3 |
| 23 | Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Yahweh, the God of heaven, given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up. | Ps 75:5-7 Dn 2:21 Dn 2:37 Dn 4:35 Dn 5:18 Dn 5:23 |
