2 Kings 24:15-20

[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.  [17] And the king  of Babylon  made Mattaniah  his father's brother  king  in his stead, and changed  his name  to Zedekiah.  [18] Zedekiah  was twenty  and one  years  old  when he began to reign,  eleven  years  in Jerusalem.  And his mother's  name  was Hamutal,  the daughter  of Jeremiah  of Libnah.  [19] And he did  that which was evil  in the sight  of the LORD,  according to all that Jehoiakim  had done.  [20] For through the anger  of the LORD  it came to pass in Jerusalem  and Judah,  until he had cast them out  from his presence,  that Zedekiah  rebelled  against the king  of Babylon.
