2 Chronicles 36
23;
23 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: “‘The Lord,
the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed
me to build a temple for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of His people among you
may go up, and may the Lord their God be with them.’” (5)
258
18 He
carried to Babylon all the articles from the temple of God, both large and
small, and the treasures of the Lord’s
temple and the treasures of the king and his officials. (9)
19 They set fire to
God’s temple and broke down the wall of Jerusalem; they burned all the palaces
and destroyed everything of value there.
20 He carried into exile to
Babylon the remnant, who escaped from the sword, and they became servants to
him and his successors until the kingdom of Persia came to power.

The Fall of
Jerusalem
15 The
Lord, the God of their
ancestors, sent word to them through his messengers again and again, because he
had pity on his people and on his dwelling place. (6)
16 But they mocked God’s
messengers, despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of
the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no
remedy.
138
6 Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to
Babylon.
(6)
7 Nebuchadnezzar also
took to Babylon articles from the temple of the Lord and put them in his temple there.
8 The other events of
Jehoiakim’s reign, the
detestable things he did and all that was found against him, are written in the book of the
kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as king.
138
21 The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation
it rested, until the seventy years were completed in fulfillment of the Word of the Lord
spoken by Jeremiah. (3)
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in
order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord
moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his
realm and also to put it in writing:
147
12 He
did evil in the eyes of the Lord
his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the
word of the Lord.
(3)
13 He also rebelled
against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take an oath in God’s name. He
became stiff-necked and hardened his heart and would not turn to the Lord,
the God of Israel.
14 Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people
became more and more unfaithful, following all the detestable practices of the
nations and defiling the temple of the Lord,
which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
258

carried him off to Egypt.
