Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD his God.

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon articles from the temple of the LORD and put them in his temple ^(F119) there.

The other events of Jehoiakim's reign, the detestable things he did and all that was found against him, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as king.
