2 Kings 24:10Amplified Bible - Classic EditionAt that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. See the chapter |
AFTER NEBUCHADREZZAR king of Babylon had taken into exile Jeconiah [also called Coniah and Jehoiachin] son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me [in a vision] two baskets of figs set before the temple of the Lord.
