2 Chronicles 36:1-11

1 tulit ergo populus terrae Ioachaz filium Iosiae et constituit regem pro patre suo in Hierusalem

2 viginti trium annorum erat Ioachaz cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus regnavit in Hierusalem

3 amovit autem eum rex Aegypti cum venisset Hierusalem et condemnavit terram centum talentis argenti et talento auri

4 constituitque regem pro eo Eliacim fratrem eius super Iudam et Hierusalem et vertit nomen eius Ioacim ipsum vero Ioachaz tulit secum et adduxit in Aegyptum

5 viginti quinque annorum erat Ioacim cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem fecitque malum coram Domino Deo suo

6 contra hunc ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Chaldeorum et vinctum catenis duxit in Babylonem

7 ad quam et vasa Domini transtulit et posuit ea in templo suo

8 reliqua autem verborum Ioacim et abominationum eius quas operatus est et quae inventa sunt in eo continentur in libro regum Israhel et Iuda regnavitque Ioachin filius eius pro eo

9 octo annorum erat Ioachin cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus ac decem diebus regnavit in Hierusalem fecitque malum in conspectu Domini

10 cumque anni circulus volveretur misit Nabuchodonosor rex qui et adduxerunt eum in Babylonem asportatis simul pretiosissimis vasis domus Domini regem vero constituit Sedeciam fratrem eius super Iudam et Hierusalem

11 viginti et unius anni erat Sedecias cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem
