35. And he reigned in Judah and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.
36. And he set a tax upon the people of a hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
37. The king of Egypt also made King Joakim his brother king of Judaea and Jerusalem.
38. And Joakim bound the nobles: but Zarakes his brother he apprehended, and brought him up out of Egypt.
39. Five and twenty years old was Joakim when he began to reign in Judaea and Jerusalem; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
40. And against him Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
41. Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and set them up in his own temple at Babylon.
42. But those things that are reported of him, and of his uncleanness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings.
43. And Joakim his son reigned in his stead: for when he was made king he was eighteen years old;
44. and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did that which was evil before the Lord.
45. So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought to Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord;
46. and made Sedekias king of Judaea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years:
47. and he also did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken by Jeremy the prophet from the mouth of the Lord.
48. And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, and his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord, the God of Israel.
49. Moreover the governors of the people and of the priests did many things wickedly, and passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in Jerusalem.
50. And the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them back, because he had compassion on them and on his dwelling place.
