2 Kings 24:1-6
1599 Geneva Bible
24 1 Jehoiakim made subject to Nebuchadnezzar, rebelleth. 3 The cause of his ruin and all Judah’s. 6 Jehoiachin reigneth. 15 He, and his people are carried unto Babylon. 17 Zedekiah is made king.
1 In his [a]days came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: afterward he turned, and rebelled against him.
2 And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Aramites, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the Ammonites, and he sent them against Judah to destroy it, (A)according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the Prophets.
3 Surely by the [b]commandment of the Lord came this upon Judah, that he might put them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 And for the innocent blood that he shed, (for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood) therefore the Lord would not pardon it.
5 Concerning the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 So Jehoiakim [c]slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
