King James Version
31. Jehoahaz was twenty–three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 32. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. 33. Now Pharaoh Necho put him in prison at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 34. Then Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Pharaoh took Jehoahaz and went to Egypt, and he died there. 35. So Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give money according to the command of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, from every one according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necho. 36. Jehoiakim was twenty–five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 37. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
1. In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him. 2. And the LORD sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon; He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servants the prophets. 3. Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 4. and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon. 5. Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 6. So Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. 7. And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land anymore, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the River Euphrates. 8. Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. 10. At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 11. And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, as his servants were besieging it. 12. Then Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers went out to the king of Babylon; and the king of Babylon, in the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner. 13. And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house, and he cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said. 14. Also he carried into captivity all Jerusalem: all the captains and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except the poorest people of the land. 15. And he carried Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the mighty of the land he carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16. All the valiant men, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for war, these the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. 17. Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
1. "Now these are the names of the tribes: From the northern border along the road to Hethlon at the entrance of Hamath, to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus northward, in the direction of Hamath, there shall be one section for Dan from its east to its west side; 2. "by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west, one section for Asher; 3. "by the border of Asher, from the east side to the west, one section for Naphtali; 4. "by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west, one section for Manasseh; 5. "by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west, one section for Ephraim; 6. "by the border of Ephraim, from the east side to the west, one section for Reuben; 7. "by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west, one section for Judah; 8. "by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west, shall be the district which you shall set apart, twenty–five thousand cubits in width, and in length the same as one of the other portions, from the east side to the west, with the sanctuary in the center. 9. "The district that you shall set apart for the LORD shall be twenty–five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. 10. "To these––to the priests––the holy district shall belong: on the north twenty–five thousand cubits in length , on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty–five thousand in length. The sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the center. 11. " It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are sanctified, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 12. "And this district of land that is set apart shall be to them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. 13. "Opposite the border of the priests, the Levites shall have an area twenty–five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width; its entire length shall be twenty–five thousand and its width ten thousand. 14. "And they shall not sell or exchange any of it; they may not alienate this best part of the land, for it is holy to the LORD. 15. "The five thousand cubits in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty–five thousand, shall be for general use by the city, for dwellings and common–land; and the city shall be in the center. 16. "These shall be its measurements: the north side four thousand five hundred cubits , the south side four thousand five hundred, the east side four thousand five hundred, and the west side four thousand five hundred. 17. "The common–land of the city shall be: to the north two hundred and fifty cubits , to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty. 18. "The rest of the length, alongside the district of the holy section, shall be ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand to the west. It shall be adjacent to the district of the holy section , and its produce shall be food for the workers of the city. 19. "The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it. 20. "The entire district shall be twenty–five thousand cubits by twenty–five thousand cubits , foursquare. You shall set apart the holy district with the property of the city. 21. "The rest shall belong to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city’s property, next to the twenty–five thousand cubits of the holy district as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty–five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the tribal portions; it shall belong to the prince. It shall be the holy district, and the sanctuary of the temple shall be in the center. 22. "Moreover, apart from the possession of the Levites and the possession of the city which are in the midst of what belongs to the prince, the area between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin shall belong to the prince. 23. "As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side to the west, Benjamin shall have one section ; 24. "by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west, Simeon shall have one section ; 25. "by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west, Issachar shall have one section ; 26. "by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west, Zebulun shall have one section ; 27. "by the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west, Gad shall have one section ; 28. "by the border of Gad, on the south side, toward the South, the border shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. 29. "This is the land which you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions," says the Lord GOD. 30. "These are the exits of the city. On the north side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits 31. ‘(the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi; 32. "on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits , three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan; 33. "on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits , three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun; 34. "on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. 35. "All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be : THE LORD IS THERE."
41. The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." 42. And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?" 43. Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves. 44. "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. "It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46. "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. 48. "I am the bread of life. 49. "Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50. "This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51. "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." 52. The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?" 53. Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54. "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55. "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56. "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57. "As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58. "This is the bread which came down from heaven––not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever." 59. These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. 60. Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this , said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" 61. When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? 62. " What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63. "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64. "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65. And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." 66. From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67. Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" 68. But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69. "Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 70. Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" 71. He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.
