43
His son Jehoiachin became king in his place; when he was made king he was eighteen years old,
44
and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
45
A year later Nebuchadnezzar sent and removed him to Babylon, with the holy vessels of the Lord,
46
and made Zedekiah king of Judea and Jerusalem. Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, and he reigned eleven years.
47
He also did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not heed the words that were spoken by the prophet Jeremiah from the mouth of the Lord.
