36. Jehoiakim put the officials in prison. He seized his other brother Zarius and took him from Egypt.
37. Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he began to rule over Judea and Jerusalem; he did what was evil in the Lord’s presence.
38. Then Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar went up against him, bound him with bronze chains, and took him away to Babylon.
39. Nebuchadnezzar also seized some of the Lord’s holy equipment, carried it off to Babylon, and placed it in his temple.
40. But the things reported about Jehoiakim, his impurity and godlessness, have been written in the scroll about the times of the kings.
