2 Chronicles 36:5-8
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Jehoiakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and did [a]evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel, and bound him with chains to carry him to Babel.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also (A)carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babel, and put them in his temple at Babel.
8 Concerning the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and [b]that which was found upon him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
