1 Esdras 1:45

1 Esdras 1:45 Context

⁴²But those things that are recorded of him, and of his uncleaness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings. ⁴³And Joacim his son reigned in his stead: he was made king being eighteen years old; ⁴⁴And reigned but three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did evil before the Lord. ⁴⁵So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord; ⁴⁶And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years: ⁴⁷And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord. ⁴⁸And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel.
