Jehoiakim Reigns in Judah

36 ^aJehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. 37 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, ^baccording to all that his fathers had done.

2 Kings 24:1-4

1 ^cIn 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 the Lord sent against him bands of the ^dChaldeans and ^ebands of the Syrians and bands of the Moabites and bands of the Ammonites, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, ^faccording to the word of the Lord that he spoke by his servants the prophets. 3 Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the Lord, to remove them out of his sight, ^gfor the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 4 and also ^hfor the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon.
