2 Kings 24:12-16

[12] And Jehoiachin  the king  of Judah  went out  to the king  of Babylon,  he, and his mother,  and his servants,  and his princes,  and his officers:  and the king  of Babylon  took  him in the eighth  year  of his reign.  [13] And he carried out  thence all the treasures  of the house  of the LORD,  and the treasures  of the king's  house,  and cut in pieces  all the vessels  of gold  which Solomon  king  of Israel  had made  in the temple  of the LORD,  had said.  [14] And he carried away  all Jerusalem,  and all the princes,  and all the mighty men  of valour,  even ten  thousand  captives,  and all the craftsmen  and smiths:  none remained,  save  the poorest sort  of the people  of the land.  [15] And he carried away  Jehoiachin  to Babylon,  and the king's  mother,  and the king's  wives,  and his officers,  of the land,  he into captivity  from Jerusalem  to Babylon.  [16] And all the men  of might,  even seven  thousand,  and craftsmen  and smiths  a thousand,  all that were strong  and apt  for war,  even them the king  of Babylon  brought  captive  to Babylon.
