12 1Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother and his servants and his captains and his officials. So 2the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.
13 3He carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and 4cut in pieces all the vessels of gold 5which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, just as the LORD had said.
14 Then 6he led away into exile all Jerusalem and all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, 7ten thousand captives, and 8all the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained 9except the poorest people of the land.
15 So 10he led Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon; also the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading men of the land, he led away into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
