Legacy Standard Bible
36 (A)Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 37 And he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, (B)according to all that his fathers had done.
Jehoiakim Rebels Against Nebuchadnezzar
24 (C)In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. 2 And Yahweh sent against him (D)marauding bands of Chaldeans, (E)marauding bands of Arameans, (F)marauding bands of Moabites, and marauding bands of Ammonites. So He sent them against Judah to destroy it, (G)according to the word of Yahweh which He had spoken by the hand of His slaves the prophets. 3 (H)Surely at the [a]command of Yahweh it came upon Judah, to remove them from His presence (I)because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 4 and (J)also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and Yahweh was not willing to pardon. 5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Jehoiachin Reigns over Judah
6 So (K)Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
