2 Chronicles 36

Judah’s final kings pass rapidly across the stage. Jehoahaz is removed by Egypt; Jehoiakim is subjected to Babylon; Jehoiachin is taken to Babylon; and Zedekiah rebels while refusing prophetic correction. Priests and people multiply corruption, pollute the temple, mock God’s messengers, and reject his words until judgment reaches the point of no remedy. Babylon burns the temple and Jerusalem, destroys the walls, and carries survivors into exile. After seventy years, Cyrus king of Persia issues a decree that the LORD has charged him to build the house at Jerusalem and invites God’s people to go up.
