Chapter 24: Nevuchadnetzar conquers Jerusalem and exiles its inhabitants
- Yehoyakim becomes a servant of Nevuchadnetzar and rebels against him: In the days of Yehoyakim, Nevuchadnetzar went up against Yehoyakim and Yehoyakim became his servant for three years. At the end of the third year, Yehoyakim turned and rebelled against him.
- The nations come to battle Yehoyakim: Hashem incited against Yehoyakim soldiers from the nations of Casdim and Aram and Moav and Ammon. They were incited against Yehuda to destroy it, as Hashem had spoken through the prophets to avenge the sins of Menashe and the innocent blood that he had spilled in Jerusalem.
- His chronicles: The remaining events of Yehoyakim and all that he did are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Yehuda.
- His death: Yehoyakim passed away [as he was being carried to Bavel by Nevuchadnetzar in imprisonment[1]] and was buried with his ancestors.
- His successor: Yehoyachin his son reigned in his stead.
- The king of Egypt is defeated and retreats to his land: The king of Egypt no longer went out of his land [to help Yehoyakim[2]], as the king of Babylon captured all of his land [in the 4th year of reign of Yehoyakim[3]] from the river of Egypt until the Euphrates River.
