The name of his mother was Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 23:37He did what was evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers had done. 24:1In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. 24:2YHWH sent against him bands of Chaldeans, bands of Aram, bands of Moab, and bands of the sons of Ammon; he sent them against Judah to make it perish, according to the word of YHWH that he had spoken through his servants the prophets. 24:3Surely by the command of YHWH this came upon Judah, to remove them from before his face, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 24:4and also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and YHWH was not willing to forgive. 24:5The 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? 24:6Jehoiakim lay down with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. 24:7The king of Egypt did not again come out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates all that had belonged to the king of Egypt.
