Jehoiakim King of Judah
5Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king. He ruled as king in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up against him. He bound him in bronze shackles to take him to Babylon. 7Nebuchadnezar carried off some of the vessels from the House of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his palace in Babylon.
8The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations which he committed, and the charges that were established against him, you can find written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin ruled as king in his place.
