1. While Jehoiakim was king, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked the land of Judah. So Jehoiakim became Nebuchadnezzar's servant for three years. Then he turned against Nebuchadnezzar and broke away from his rule.
|
1. In his days H3117 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came up H5927 , and Jehoiakim H3079 became H1961 his servant H5650 three H7969 years H8141 : then he turned H7725 and rebelled H4775 against him.
|
|
2. The Lord sent raiding parties from Babylon, Aram, Moab, and Ammon against Jehoiakim to destroy Judah. This happened as the Lord had said it would through his servants the prophets.
|
2. And the LORD H3068 sent H7971 against him H853 bands H1416 of the Chaldees H3778 , and bands H1416 of the Syrians H758 , and bands H1416 of the Moabites H4124 , and bands H1416 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and sent H7971 them against Judah H3063 to destroy H6 it , according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he spoke H1696 by H3027 his servants H5650 the prophets H5030 .

|
3. The Lord commanded this to happen to the people of Judah, to remove them from his presence, because of all the sins of Manasseh.
|
3. Surely H389 at H5921 the commandment H6310 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 this upon Judah H3063 , to remove H5493 them out of H4480 H5921 his sight H6440 , for the sins H2403 of Manasseh H4519 , according to all H3605 that H834 he did H6213 ;
|
|
4. He had killed many innocent people and had filled Jerusalem with their blood. And the Lord would not forgive these sins.
|
4. And also H1571 for the innocent H5355 blood H1818 that H834 he shed H8210 : for he filled H4390 H853 Jerusalem H3389 with innocent H5355 blood H1818 ; which the LORD H3068 would H14 not H3808 pardon H5545 .
|
|
5. The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king and all he did are written in the book of the history of the kings of Judah.

|
7. And the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 came H3318 not H3808 again H3254 any more H5750 out of his land H4480 H776 : for H3588 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H3947 from the river H4480 H5104 of Egypt H4714 unto H5704 the river H4480 H5158 Euphrates H6578 all H3605 that H834 pertained H1961 to the king H4428 of Egypt H4714 .
