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?
6 aSo Jehoiakim rested with his fathers. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
