Discovery Box2 Chronicles 36:7 
Context36:7 Nebuchadnezzar took some of the items in the Lord’s temple to Babylon and put them in his palace 1 there. 2
2 Chronicles 36:10
Context36:10 At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought 3 to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative 4 Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
1 tn Or “temple.”
2 tn Heb “in Babylon.” Repeating the proper name “Babylon” here would be redundant in contemporary English, so “there” has been used in the translation.
3 tn Heb “sent and brought him.”
4 tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
