II Chronicles 36:1

The book concludes with the successive reigns and downfalls of Judah's last kings, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, culminating in Nebuchadnezzar's destruction of Jerusalem and the temple and the captivity of the people to Babylon. The chapter ends with Cyrus king of Persia proclaiming that the LORD had charged him to build a house for Him at Jerusalem, allowing the exiles to return.
