- "Jehoiachinª [was] eightª yearsª oldª when he began to reign,ª° and he reignedª° threeª monthsª and tenª daysª in Jerusalem:ª and he didª° [that which was] evilª in the sightª of the LORD.ª ... And when the yearª was expired,ª kingª Nebuchadnezzarª sent,ª° and broughtª° him to Babylon,ª with¹ the goodlyª vesselsª of the houseª of the LORD,ª and made¹¹ Zedekiahª his brotherª king²° over¹ Judahª and Jerusalem.ª" {2Ch 36:9-10} + "The LORDª shewedª° me, and, behold,¹ twoª basketsª of figsª [were] setª° beforeª the templeª of the LORD,ª after² that¹ Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª had carried away captiveª°¹ Jeconiahª the sonª of Jehoiakimª kingª of Judah,ª and the princesª of Judah,ª with¹ the carpentersª and smiths,ª from Jerusalem,ª¹ and had broughtª° them to Babylon.ª ... Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª the Godª of Israel;ª Like these¹ goodª figs,ª so¹ will I acknowledgeª°¹ them that are carried away captiveª of Judah,ª whom¹ I have sentª° out of¹ this¹ placeª into the landª of the Chaldeansª for [their] good.ª" {Jer 24:1-5} + "This¹ [is] the peopleª whom¹ Nebuchadrezzarª carried away captive:ª° in the seventhª yearª threeª thousandª Jewsª and threeª and twenty:ª" {Jer 52:28} + "Now it came to pass¹ in the thirtiethª year,ª in the fourthª [month], in the fifthª [day] of the month,ª as I¹ [was] amongª the captivesª by¹ the riverª of Chebar,ª [that] the heavensª were opened,ª° and I sawª° visionsª of God.ª ... In the fifthª [day] of the month,ª which¹ [was] the fifthª yearª of kingª Jehoiachin'sª captivity,ª" {Ezk 1:1-2}
