24 In his days Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar+ the king of Babylon* came up, and so Je·hoiʹa·kim became his servant+ for three years. However, he turned back and rebelled against him.

36 Now it came about in the fourth year of Je·hoiʹa·kim+ the son of Jo·siʹah, the king of Judah, that this word occurred to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:

2 For Egypt,+ concerning the military force of Pharʹaoh Neʹcho* the king of Egypt,+ who happened to be by the river Eu·phraʹtes at Carʹche·mish,+ whom Neb·u·chad·rezʹzar the king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Je·hoiʹa·kim+ the son of Jo·siʹah, the king of Judah:

1 In the third year of the kingship of Je·hoiʹa·kim+ the king of Judah, Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar the king of Babylon* came to Jerusalem and proceeded to lay siege to it.+
