Jehoiakim did what the Lord considered evil, as his ancestors had done.
He did what the Lord considered evil, as his father Manasseh had done.
He did what the Lord considered evil, as his ancestors had done.
Zedekiah did what the Lord considered evil, as Jehoiakim had done.
Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for 11 years in Jerusalem. He did what the Lord his God considered evil.
I will punish him, his descendants, and his attendants for their wickedness. They refused to listen. So I will bring on them, on those who live in Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah all the disasters that I have threatened.’ ”
