2 Chronicles 36
36
1Then the people of the land took Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] the son of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals], and made him king in his father’s stead in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
2Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] [was] twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
3And the king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] put him down at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent (weight of money; weight; gift) of gold.
4And the king of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] made Elyakim [God sets up] his brother king over Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and turned his name to Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up]. And N’kho [lame] took Y’ho’achaz [Yehovah has seized] his brother, and carried him to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place].
5Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up] [was] twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
6Against him came up N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
7N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and put them in his temple at Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
8Now the rest of the acts of Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up], and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]: and Y’hoyakhin [Yehovah establishes] his son reigned in his stead.
9Y’hoyakhin [Yehovah establishes] [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
10And when the year was expired, king N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown] sent, and brought him to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and made Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] his brother king over Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
11Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] [was] one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
12And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [and] humbled not himself before Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
13And he also rebelled against king N’vukhadnetzar [May Nebo protect the crown], who had made him swear by God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
14Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which he had consecrated in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
15And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16But they mocked the messengers of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy.
17Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Kasdim [clod-breakers] [clod-breakers], who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.
18And all the vessels of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he brought to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion].
19And they burnt the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and broke down the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
20And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion]; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid]:
21To fulfil the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by the mouth of Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed], until the land had enjoyed her Shabbat: [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept Shabbat [Rest], to fulfil threescore and ten years.
22Now in the first year of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid], that the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [spoken] by the mouth of Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] might be accomplished, the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stirred up the spirit of Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid], that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
23Thus says Koresh (Cyrus) [possess you the furnace] king of Paras (Persia) [pure or splendid], All the kingdoms of the earth has the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of heaven given me; and he has charged me to build him an house in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which [is] in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]. Who [is there] among you of all his people? The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [be] with him, and let him go up.
