24 In his days Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar+ the king of Babylon* came up, and so Je·hoiʹa·kim became his servant+ for three years. However, he turned back and rebelled against him.

20 For on account of the anger+ of Jehovah it took place in Jerusalem and in Judah, until he had cast them out of his sight.+ And Zed·e·kiʹah began to rebel against the king of Babylon.+

15 But he finally rebelled+ against him in sending his messengers to Egypt, [for it] to give him horses+ and a multitudinous people. Will he have success? Will he escape, he who is doing these things, and who has broken a covenant? And will he actually escape?’+
