2 Kings 24:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ The Lord commanded this to happen to Judah. In this way he would remove them from his sight. He did this because of all the sins that Manasseh committed. ⁴ He did this because Manasseh killed many innocent people and filled Jerusalem with their blood. The Lord would not forgive these sins.

⁵ The other things that Jehoiakim did are written in the book, The History of the Kings of Judah.
