2 Kings 24:5-7

The Voice

⁵ Is not the rest of Jehoiakim’s story—his actions and lasting legacy—documented in the book of the chronicles of Judah’s kings? ⁶ Jehoiakim left this world to sleep with his fathers. His son, Jehoiachin, then inherited the throne.

⁷ Egypt’s king never departed from his own country again because Babylon’s king, Nebuchadnezzar, ruled everything that had formerly been in the possession of Egypt’s king, all the way from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
