Jehoiakim did what the Lord said was wrong, just as his ancestors had done.
Amon did what the Lord said was wrong, as his father Manasseh had done.
Jehoahaz did what the Lord said was wrong, just as his ancestors had done.
Zedekiah did what the Lord said was wrong, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did what the Lord his God said was wrong.
I will punish Jehoiakim and his children and his servants, because they have done evil things. I will bring disasters upon them and upon all the people in Jerusalem and Judah—everything I promised but which they refused to hear.’ ”
