2 Kings 24:2-4

Names of God Bible

² Yahweh sent raiding parties of Babylonians, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites against Jehoiakim to destroy Judah as Yahweh had predicted through his servants the prophets. ³ Without a doubt, this happened to Judah because Yahweh had commanded it to happen. He wanted to remove the people of Judah from his sight because of Manasseh’s sins—everything he had done, ⁴ including the innocent blood he had shed. He had a lot of innocent people in Jerusalem killed, and Yahweh refused to forgive him.
