24:10-17
The siege of Jerusalem now begins. Israel did not put up a fight, Jehoiachin, his mother and his attendants all surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar. Jehoiachin was taken prisoner, while Nebuchadnezzar removed the gold articles from the temple, he also carried all the officers, skilled men and fighting men off to Babylon. Only the poorest people were left behind.Jehoiachin’s uncle was made king, and had his name changed to Zedkiah.
24:18-20
Zedekiah reigned for eleven years, he also did evil in the eyes of the Lord. In the end he rebelled against the king of Babylon, but to no avail.
