UJehoyakini wayeneminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa izinyanga ezintathu eJerusalema ; igama likanina lalinguNehushita indodakazi ka-Elinathani waseJerusalema.

UJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda waphuma , waya enkosini yaseBabele, yena nonina, nezinceku zakhe , nezikhulu zakhe , nezinduna zakhe; inkosi yaseBabele yamthatha ngomnyaka wesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe.
