Context of 2 Kings 24:5
3Without a doubt, this happened to Judah because the Lord 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, 4including the innocent blood he had shed. He had a lot of innocent people in Jerusalem killed, and the Lord refused to forgive him. Isn’t everything else about Jehoiakim—everything he did—written in the official records of the kings of Judah? 6Jehoiakim lay down in death with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiakin succeeded him as king. 7The king of Egypt didn’t leave his own country again because the king of Babylon had taken all the territory from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates River. This territory had belonged to the king of Egypt.
