Y'hoyakhin was eighteen years old when he began his reign, and he ruled in Yerushalayim for three months. His mother's name was N'chushta the daughter of Elnatan, from Yerushalayim.

It was then that the officers of N'vukhadnetzar king of Bavel marched on Yerushalayim and laid siege to the city.

N'vukhadnetzar king of Bavel himself went to the city while it was under siege;

and Y'hoyakhin king of Y'hudah went out to meet the king of Bavel - he, his mother, and his servants, princes and officers; and the king of Bavel took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.

He also carried away from there all the treasures in the house of ADONAI and the treasures in the royal palace. He cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Shlomo king of Isra'el had made in the temple of ADONAI, as ADONAI had said would happen.

He carried all Yerushalayim away captive - all the princes, all the bravest soldiers- 10,000 captives; also all the craftsmen and metalworkers. No one was left but the poorest people of the land.

Y'hoyakhin he carried off to Bavel; likewise he carried off the king's mother, the king's wives, his officers and the main leaders of the land from Yerushalayim into captivity in Bavel.

He treated him with kindness and gave him a throne higher than those of the other kings there with him in Bavel.

So Y'hoyakhin no longer had to wear prison clothes; moreover, he was provided with food as long as he lived;

and he was granted a daily allowance by the king to spend on his other needs for as long as he lived.

Y'hoyakhin was eight years old when he began his reign, and he ruled in Yerushalayim for three months and ten days. He did what was evil from ADONAI's perspective.

"As I live," says ADONAI, "even if Koniyahu the son of Y'hoyakim king of Y'hudah were the signet ring on my right hand, I would pull you off

and hand you over to those who seek your life, to those you fear, N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel and the Kasdim.

I will hurl you and the mother who gave birth to you into a country different from the one you were born in, and you will die there.

They will not return to the country to which they long to return."

Is this man Koniyahu a despised, broken pot, an instrument nobody wants? Why are they being thrown out? Why are he and his offspring thrown out into a country they do not know?

Oh, land, land, land! Hear the word of ADONAI!

This what ADONAI says: "List this man as childless; he is a lifetime failure - none of his offspring will succeed, none will sit on David's throne or rule again in Y'hudah."
