3. Only at the command of יהוה this came upon Yehuḏah, to remove them from His presence, because of the sins of Menashsheh, according to all that he did,
4. and also because of the innocent blood that he shed. For he filled Yerushalayim with innocent blood, which יהוה would not forgive.
5. And the rest of the acts of Yehoyaqim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yehuḏah?
6. So Yehoyaqim slept with his fathers. And Yehoyaḵin his son reigned in his place.
7. And the sovereign of Mitsrayim did not come out of his land again, for the sovereign of Baḇel had taken all that belonged to the sovereign of Mitsrayim from the wadi of Mitsrayim to the River Euphrates.
8. Yehoyaḵin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim three months. And his mother’s name was Neḥushta the daughter of Elnathan of Yerushalayim.
9. And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, according to all that his father did.
