1In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.2 Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to Yahwehs word, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.3 Surely at the commandment of Yahweh this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Yahweh would not pardon.5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, arent they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.7 The king of Egypt didnt come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mothers name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
