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 Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his stead.
7. And the king of Egypt never came out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all that pertained to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates.
8. Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
10. At that time the slaves of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, also came against the city when his slaves had besieged it.
12. So Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother and his slaves and his princes and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
