The final chapter contains shortened history of the four final kings of Judah (to less than half the length in the Books of Kings, although there is a small amount of additions). The omissions are on the details of Jerusalem's destruction (also the reference to Manasseh's sins, <a href="2_Kings_24%3A3" class="mw-redirect" title="2 Kings 24:3">2 Kings 24:3</a>), the names of the queen mothers, part of the evaluations on the kings, and some death announcements (such as the death of kings in foreign lands), but giving a more united story than the <a href="Books_of_Kings" title="Books of Kings">Books of Kings</a>. The additions refer to the temple, a strong theological argument of the people's responsibility for their downfall), the deportation of the survivors of Judah (<a href="#Verse_20">verse 20</a>) and the mention of the Persian successors to Babylon. In particular, <a href="#Verse_21">verse 21</a> contains an interpretation (instead of a "description") of the <a href="Babylonian_captivity" title="Babylonian captivity">exile</a> ('until the land had made up for its sabbaths') and part of <a href="Cyrus's_edict" class="mw-redirect" title="Cyrus's edict">Cyrus's edict</a>, which is more completely cited in the <a href="Ezra_1" title="Ezra 1">opening part</a> of the <a href="Book_of_Ezra" title="Book of Ezra">book of Ezra</a>, allowing the deported Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMathys2007307-14">[13]</a>

The climax of temple plundering: 'All the vessels of the house of God' in verse 18 is followed by the taking away of the king's and princes' private treasures (verse 19) with very little words about Jerusalem's actual destruction and nothing about vineyard and field workers who were left behind on the land. Instead, it directly relates the end of exile when the kingdom of Persia ruled over Babylon. The sentence in verse 21 combines Jeremiah's prophecy of 70 years of exile (Jeremiah 25:11–12) with the warning in <a href="Leviticus_26" class="mw-redirect" title="Leviticus 26">Leviticus 26</a> regarding the consequences of abusing the sabbath years.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMathys2007308-44">[43]</a>

Cyrus's edict is significant to the return of the Jews, because it shows that they did not slip away from Babylon but were given official permission by the Persian king in the first year of his rule, and it is a specific fulfillment of the seventy years prophecy of <a href="Jeremiah" title="Jeremiah">Jeremiah</a> (<a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Jeremiah#25:11" class="extiw external" title="s:Bible (King James)/Jeremiah">Jeremiah 25:11–14</a>; <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Jeremiah#29:10" class="extiw external" title="s:Bible (King James)/Jeremiah">Jeremiah 29:10–14</a>).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGrabbe2003314-59">[58]</a>
