Context of 2 Kings 24:5
3The Lord had said that these things must happen. He had decided to send Judah away from himself because of the sins that King Manasseh had done. 4Manasseh had murdered people who had not done anything wrong. Their blood was in the streets of Jerusalem. The Lord would not agree to forgive Manasseh for his sins. The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king are written in a book. The book is called ‘The history of Judah's kings’. It tells about the things that Jehoiakim did. 6Jehoiakim died and they buried him beside his ancestors. His son Jehoiachin became king after him. 7The king of Egypt did not take his army out of his own country again. That was because the king of Babylon had taken a lot of Egypt's land for himself. He had taken all the land between the Stream of Egypt and the River Euphrates. Before that, the king of Egypt had authority over that land.
