'Oved fathered Yehu, Yehu fathered 'Azaryah,

'Azaryah fathered Heletz, Heletz fathered El'asah,

and Yochanan fathered 'Azaryah. He functioned as cohen in the house that Shlomo built in Yerushalayim.

Shalum fathered Hilkiyah, Hilkiyah fathered 'Azaryah,

'Azaryah fathered S'rayah, S'rayah fathered Y'hotzadak,

The Spirit of God covered Z'kharyah the son of Y'hoyada the cohen; he stood above the people and addressed them: "Thus says God: 'Why are you transgressing the mitzvot of ADONAI and courting disaster? Because you have abandoned ADONAI, he has abandoned you."

But they conspired against him and stoned him to death at the order of the king in the courtyard of the house of ADONAI.

Thus Yo'ash the king did not remember the kindness which Y'hoyada, [Z'kharyah's] father, had done for him, but put his son to death. As he was dying he said, "May ADONAI see this and take vengeance!"

then 'Azaryah the son of Hosha'yah, Yochanan the son of Kareach and all the men with him had the effrontery to say to Yirmeyahu, "You are lying! ADONAI our God did not send you to say, 'Don't go to Egypt and live there'!

Rather, Barukh the son of Neriyah is inciting you against us, so that we can be handed over to the Kasdim to be put to death or carried off as captives to Bavel."

So Yochanan the son of Kareach, all the military commanders and all the people did not heed what ADONAI said, to live in the land of Y'hudah.

Instead, Yochanan the son of Kareach and all the military commanders took all the remnant of Y'hudah who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven to live in the land of Y'hudah -

the men, the women, the children, the king's daughters, everyone N'vuzar'adan the commander of the guard had committed to G'dalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan, and Yirmeyahu the prophet and Barukh the son of Neriyah -

and went to the land of Egypt; for they did not heed what ADONAI had said; and they arrived in Tachpanches.
