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 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin became king in his place.
7 No longer did the king of Egypt march out of his country, for the king of Babylon had seized all the land that once belonged to the king of Egypt, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8 Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnatan of Jerusalem.
9 But he did what was evil in Adonai’s eyes, like all his father had done.
10 At that time, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon’s troops marched against Jerusalem and the city fell under siege.
11 Then King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon himself arrived at the city while his troops were besieging it.
