24:1

In his days
<03117>

Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>

king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>

came up
<05927> (8804)_,

and Jehoiakim
<03079>

became his servant
<05650>

three
<07969>

years
<08141>_:

then he turned
<07725> (8799)

and rebelled
<04775> (8799)

against him.

24:2

And the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

against him bands
<01416>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the Moabites
<04124>_,

and bands
<01416>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

them against Judah
<03063>

to destroy
<06> (8687)

it, according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

his servants
<05650>

the prophets
<05030>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

24:3

Surely at the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

came [this] upon Judah
<03063>_,

to remove
<05493> (8687)

[them] out of his sight
<06440>_,

for the sins
<02403>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

according to all that he did
<06213> (8804)_;

24:4

And also for the innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>

that he shed
<08210> (8804)_:

for he filled
<04390> (8762)

Jerusalem
<03389>

with innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_;

which the LORD
<03068>

would
<014> (8804)

not pardon
<05545> (8800)_.

24:5

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

<04714>

came
<03318> (8800)

not again
<03254> (8689)

any more out of his land

<0894>
