Judah Overrun by Enemies
1 In ahis days Nebuchadnezzar king of bBabylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 aAnd the Lord sent against him raiding1 bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon; He sent them against Judah to destroy it, baccording to the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servants the prophets.
3 Surely at the commandment of the Lord this came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight abecause of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,
4 aand also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had 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?
