Legacy Standard Bible
2 And the (A)Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the (B)vessels of the house of God; and he brought them to the land of (C)Shinar, to the house of his [a]god, and he brought the vessels into the treasury of his [b](D)god.
3 Then the king said for Ashpenaz, the chief of his [c]officials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the royal (E)seed and of the nobles, 4 youths in whom was (F)no defect, who were good in appearance, showing (G)insight in every branch of wisdom, being thoroughly [d]knowledgeable and discerning knowledge, and who had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and he said for him to teach them the [e]literature and (H)tongue of the (I)Chaldeans.
