8 UYehoyakin+ wayeneminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo ubudala ekuqaliseni kwakhe ukulawula, yaye walawula iinyanga ezintathu eYerusalem.+ Igama likanina lalinguNehushta intombi kaElnatan waseYerusalem.

12 Ekuhambeni kwethuba uYehoyakin ukumkani wakwaYuda waphuma waya kukumkani waseBhabhiloni,+ yena nonina+ nabakhonzi bakhe neenkosana zakhe namagosa akhe enkundla; kwaye ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wamthabatha ngonyaka wesibhozo+ wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe.

24 UYehova wandibonisa, khangela! iingobozi ezimbini zamakhiwane zibekwe phambi kwetempile kaYehova, emva kokuba uNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wayemthabathele ekuthinjweni uYekoniya+ unyana kaYehoyakim,+ ukumkani wakwaYuda, neenkosana zakwaYuda neengcibi+ nabakhi beendonga zokukhusela, ebasusa eYerusalem ukuze abase eBhabhiloni.+

37 UKumkani uZedekiya+ unyana kaYosiya+ walawula esikhundleni sikaKoniya+ unyana kaYehoyakim,+ lowo uNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wamenza ukumkani kwilizwe lakwaYuda.+

11 uYosiya+ wazala uYekoniya+ nabantakwabo ngexesha lokugxothelwa eBhabhiloni.+
