3Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon.
5Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren`t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
7The king of Egypt didn`t come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
8Jehoiachin 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.
9He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his father had done.
