8Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.9And he did evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that his father did.10At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel went up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.11Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel came to the city, and his servants besieged it.12Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babel—he and his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his eunuchs—and the king of Babel took him in the eighth year of his kingdom.13He brought out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the house of the king, and he cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, just as the LORD had spoken.14And he exiled all of Jerusalem and all of the officials and all of the mighty ones of the power—ten thousand exiles—and all of the craftsmen and the smiths. Nothing remained except the poor of the people of the land.15And he exiled Jehoiachin to Babylon and his mother the queen and the wives of the king and his eunuchs and the rams of the earth. He caused them to go into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.16And all the men of the power—seven thousand—and the craftsmen and the smiths, a thousand; all mighty ones, doers of warfare. And the king of Babel brought them into exile to Babel.17He made Mattaniah his uncle king under him in place of the king of Babel, and he changed his name to Zedekiah.
