36 Je·hoiʹa·kim+ was 25 years old when he became king, and he reigned for 11 years in Jerusalem.+ His mother’s name was Ze·biʹdah the daughter of Pe·daiʹah from Ruʹmah. 37 He continued to do what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes,+ according to all that his forefathers had done.+

37 And King Zed·e·kiʹah+ the son of Jo·siʹah began to reign in place of Co·niʹah*+ the son of Je·hoiʹa·kim, for King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar* of Babylon made him king in the land of Judah.+ 2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Jehovah spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.
