2 Kings 24:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And the Lord sent against him the rovers of the Chaldees, and the rovers of Syria, and the rovers of Moab, and the rovers of the children of Ammon: and he sent them against Juda, to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servants the prophets.

³ And this came by the word of the Lord against Juda, to remove them from before him for all the sins of Manasses which he did.

⁴ And for the innocent blood that he shed, filling Jerusalem with innocent blood: and therefore the Lord would not be appeased.
