*
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up ,
and Jehoiakim became his servant three years :
then he turned and rebelled against him .
*
And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees ,
and bands of the Syrians ,
and bands of the Moabites Mow #
ab #,
and bands of the children of Ammon ,
and sent them against Judah to destroy it ,
according to the word of the LORD ,
which he spake by his servants the prophets .
*
Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah ,
to remove them out of his sight ,
for the sins of Manasseh ,
according to all that he did ;
*
And also for the innocent blood that he shed :
for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood ;
which the LORD would not pardon .
*
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles dabar #
of the kings of Judah ?
*
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers :
and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead .
