8Jehoiachin was eighteen years old at the beginning of his reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.9He did what was bad in the sight of the LORD, exactly as his father had done.10At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon went up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.11Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants laid siege to it.12Then Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his officials, and his eunuchs—and the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.13He carried away 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 gold vessels that Solomon king of Israel had made for the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had declared.14He deported all Jerusalem, all its officials, and all the mighty men of valor—ten thousand captives—together with all the craftsmen and the smiths; no one remained except the poorest people of the land.15He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, along with the king's mother, the king's wives, his eunuchs, and the leading men of the land; he brought them as captives from Jerusalem to Babylon.16All the men of valor—seven thousand—and the craftsmen and the smiths—one thousand—all of them warriors fit for battle—the king of Babylon brought into captivity to Babylon.17The king of Babylon appointed Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, to reign in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
