## 2 Kings 24:6-7 in Context (Verses 3–10 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/3) Surely at the commandment of the LORD came *this* upon Judah, to remove *them* out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/4) And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/5) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/6) So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/7) And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/8) ¶ Jehoiachin *was* eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name *was* Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/9) And he did *that which was* evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-kings/24/10) ¶ At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.*
