New Testament
2 Kings 23:35-24:6
Jehoiakim Son of Josiah, King of Judah
35Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to provide the money, as demanded by Pharaoh. From each man according to his worth, he exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land to give it to Pharaoh Neco.
36Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he ruled for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah from Ramah. 37He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just like everything that his fathers had done.
Judgment for Judah
241In the days of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years, but he then rebelled against him again.
2Then the Lord sent bands of Chaldeans, bands of Arameans, bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonite raiders against him. He sent them into Judah to destroy them according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants the prophets. 3Surely this happened at the Lord's command to remove them from his presence because of all the sins Manasseh had committed, 4as well as the innocent blood he had shed. He filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive.
5As for the rest of Jehoiakim's deeds and everything he did, are they not written in the annals of the kings of Judah? 6Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then his son Jehoiachin became king in his place.
