24 Ngemihla yakhe kwenyuka uNebhukadenetsare+ ukumkani waseBhabhiloni, yaye uYehoyakim waba ngumkhonzi wakhe+ iminyaka emithathu. Noko ke, wajika waza wamvukela.

25 Kwathi ngonyaka wesithoba+ wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngomhla weshumi+ wenyanga leyo, weza uNebhukadenetsare+ ukumkani waseBhabhiloni,+ ewe, yena nawo wonke umkhosi wakhe wamajoni, nxamnye neYerusalem baza bamisa iinkampu ecaleni kwayo bakha nodonga lokungqinga ecaleni kwayo macala onke.+

8 Ngenyanga yesihlanu ngosuku lwesixhenxe lwenyanga leyo, oko kukuthi, unyaka weshumi elinethoba+ kaKumkani uNebhukadenetsare+ ukumkani waseBhabhiloni, uNebhuzaradan intloko yamafanankosi, umkhonzi kakumkani waseBhabhiloni, weza eYerusalem.+

39 Ngonyaka wesithoba kaZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, ngenyanga yeshumi,+ uNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni nawo wonke umkhosi wakhe wamajoni beza eYerusalem baza bayingqinga.+
