2 KINGS 24:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.”
He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; the king's mother, the king's wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land, he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon — the deportation includes the king himself, his family, officials, and aristocracy. The removal of the entire power structure ensures that Judea cannot organize resistance or maintain continuity of governance. Jehoiachin's captivity in Babylon marks the beginning of the exile period.
