2 Kings 24:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² The Lord sent against him ^(A)bands of Chaldeans, ^(B)bands of Arameans, ^(C)bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. So He sent them against Judah to destroy it, ^(D)according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken through His servants the prophets. ^3 (E)Surely at the ^[a]command of the Lord it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight ^(F)because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, ⁴ and ^(G)also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the Lord would not forgive.
