*
In his days Nebuchadnez '
zar king of Babylon came up ,
and Jehoi '
akim became his servant three years ;
then he turned and rebelled against him .
*
And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chalde '
ans ,
and bands of the Syrians ,
and bands of the Moabites ,
and bands of the Ammonites ,
and sent them against Judah to destroy it ,
according to the word of the LORD which he spoke by his servants the prophets .
*
Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the LORD ,
to remove them out of his sight ,
for the sins of Manas '
seh ,
according to all that he had done ,
*
and also for the innocent blood that he had shed ;
for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood ,
and the LORD would not pardon .
*
Now the rest of the deeds of Jehoi '
akim ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah ?
*
So Jehoi '
akim slept with his fathers ,
and Jehoi '
achin his son reigned in his stead .
*
And the king of Egypt did not come again out of his land ,
for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the river Euphra '
tes .
*
Jehoi '
achin was eighteen years old when he became king ,
and he reigned three months in Jerusalem .
His mother '
s name was Nehush '
ta the daughter of Elna '
than of Jerusalem .
*
And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ,
according to all that his father had done .
