2 Tawarikh 36:6

36:6 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked him, ¹  bound him with bronze chains, and carried him away ²  to Babylon.

2 Tawarikh 36:10

36:10 At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought ³  to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative ⁴  Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

[36:6]  ¹ tn Heb “came up against him.”

[36:6]  ² tn Heb “to carry him away.”

[36:10]  ³ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

[36:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
