King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked him, bound him with bronze chains, and carried him away to Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar took some of the items in the Lord’s temple to Babylon and put them in his palace there.

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him vow allegiance in the name of God. He was stubborn and obstinate, and refused to return to the Lord God of Israel.

At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
