犹大王约哈斯
（王下23．30－35）
这地的百姓立约西亚的儿子约哈斯在耶路撒冷接续他父亲作王。
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2约哈斯登基的时候年二十三岁，在耶路撒冷作王三个月。Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3埃及王在耶路撒冷废了他，又罚这地一百他连得银子，一他连得金子。And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4埃及王尼哥立约哈斯的哥哥以利雅敬作犹大和耶路撒冷的王，给他改名叫约雅敬。尼哥却将他的弟弟约哈斯带到埃及去。犹大王约雅敬
（王下23．36－24．7）
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5约雅敬登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他行耶和华－他神眼中看为恶的事。Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上来攻击他，用铜链锁着他，要把他带到巴比伦去。Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7尼布甲尼撒又将耶和华殿里的一些器皿带到巴比伦，放在巴比伦自己的宫里☛“自己的宫里”或译“他的庙里”。。Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8约雅敬其余的事和他所行可憎的事，以及发生在他身上的事，看哪，都写在《以色列和犹大列王记》上，他儿子约雅斤接续他作王。犹大王约雅斤
（王下24．8－17）
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
9约雅斤登基的时候年八岁☛“八岁”：王下24．8是“十八岁”。，在耶路撒冷作王三个月十天，他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
10过了一年，尼布甲尼撒王差遣人将约雅斤和耶和华殿里宝贵的器皿带到巴比伦，然后立约雅斤的叔父☛“叔父”：原文是“兄弟”。西底家作犹大和耶路撒冷的王。犹大王西底家
（王下24．18－20；耶52．1－3）
And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11西底家登基的时候年二十一岁，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12他行耶和华－他神眼中看为恶的事，没有谦卑听从耶利米先知所传达耶和华的话。And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
13尼布甲尼撒王曾叫他指着神起誓，他却背叛，硬着颈项，内心顽固，不归向耶和华－以色列的神。And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
14众祭司长和百姓也多多犯罪，效法列国一切可憎的事，玷污耶和华在耶路撒冷分别为圣的殿。Moreover 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 which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15耶和华－他们列祖的神因为爱惜自己的百姓和居所，一再差遣使者去警戒他们。And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16他们却嘲笑神的使者，藐视他的话，讥诮他的先知，以致耶和华向他的百姓大发烈怒，甚至无法可救。But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
17所以，耶和华使迦勒底人的王来攻击他们，在他们圣殿里用刀杀了他们的壮丁，不怜悯他们的少男少女、老人长者。耶和华把所有的人都交在他手里。Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
18他把神殿里一切的大小器皿与耶和华殿里的财宝，以及王和众领袖的财宝，全都带到巴比伦去。And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
19迦勒底人焚烧了神的殿，拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙，用火烧了城里所有的宫殿，毁坏了城里一切宝贵的器皿。And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
20凡脱离刀剑的幸存者，迦勒底王都掳到巴比伦去，作他和他子孙的仆婢，直到波斯国兴起。And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
21这就应验耶和华藉耶利米的口所说的话：地得享安息；在荒凉的日子，地就守安息，直到满了七十年。犹大人返国
（拉1．1－3）
To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
22波斯王居鲁士元年，耶和华为要应验藉耶利米的口所说的话，就激发波斯王居鲁士的心，使他下诏书通告全国，说：Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23“波斯王居鲁士如此说：耶和华－天上的神已将地上万国赐给我，又委派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。你们中间凡作他子民的可以上去，愿耶和华－他的神与他同在。”Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
