Jehoiakim’s Reign
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of[a] the Lord his God. 6 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked him,[b] bound him with bronze chains, and carried him away[c] to Babylon. 7 Nebuchadnezzar took some of the items in the Lord’s temple to Babylon and put them in his palace[d] there.[e]
8 The rest of the events of Jehoiakim’s reign, including the horrible sins he committed and his shortcomings, are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Israel and Judah.[f] His son Jehoiachin replaced him as king.
