2 Kings 24:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ Jehoiakim joined the members of his family who had already died. Jehoiakim’s son Jehoiachin became the next king after him.

⁷ The king of Egypt didn’t march out from his own country again. That’s because the king of Babylon had taken so much of his territory. It reached from the Wadi of Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River.

Jehoiachin King of Judah

⁸ Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta. She was the daughter of Elnathan. She was from Jerusalem.
