Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:023:034 And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the
room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim,
and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
12:023:035 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he
taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment
of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people
of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give
it unto Pharaohnechoh.
12:023:036 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to
reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
12:023:037 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that his fathers had done.
12:024:001 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and
Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and
rebelled against him.
12:024:002 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands
of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, 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.
12:024:003 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;
12:024:004 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled
Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not
pardon.
12:024:005 Now 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?
12:024:006 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son
reigned in his stead.
12:024:007 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land:
for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto
the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
12:024:008 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and
he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name
was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
12:024:009 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD,
according to all that his father had done.
12:024:010 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
12:024:011 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and
his servants did besiege it.
