2 Kings 24:1-7

2 Kings 24:1-7

[1] In his days  Nebuchadnezzar  king  of Babylon  came up,  and Jehoiakim  became his servant  three  years:  then he turned  and rebelled  against him. [2] 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.  [3] 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;  [4] And also for the innocent  blood  that he shed:  for he filled  Jerusalem  with innocent  blood;  which the LORD  would  not pardon.  [5] 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?  [6] So Jehoiakim  slept  with his fathers:  and Jehoiachin  his son  reigned  [7] 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.
