- During Jehoiakim's reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the land, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he changed his mind and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
- The LORD sent Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him. He sent them to destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by his servants the prophets.
- Surely these things happened to Judah according to the LORD's command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done,
- including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was not willing to forgive.
- As for the other events of Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

- 約雅敬年間巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒上到猶大約雅敬服事他三年.然後背叛他。
- 耶和華使迦勒底軍、亞蘭軍、摩押軍、和亞捫人的軍來攻擊約雅敬毀滅猶大、正如耶和華藉他僕人眾先知所說的。
- 這禍臨到猶大人、誠然是耶和華所命的、要將他們從自己面前趕出、是因瑪拿西所犯的一切罪.
- 又因他流無辜人的血、充滿了耶路撒冷.耶和華決不肯赦免。
- 約雅敬其餘的事、凡他所行的、都寫在猶大列王記上。
