16 A todos los hombre de guerra, [que fueron] siete mil, y á los oficiales y herreros, [que fueron] mil, y á todos los valientes para hacer la guerra, llevó cautivos el rey de Babilonia.

17 Y el rey de Babilonia puso por rey en lugar de Joachîn á Mathanías su tío, y mudóle el nombre en el de Sedecías.

18 De veintiún años era Sedecías cuando comenzó á reinar, y reinó en Jerusalem once años. El nombre de su madre fué Amutal hija de Jeremías, de Libna.
