2Kings 24
Jehoiakim became the next king of Judah, 2 Kings 23.36-24.6; 2Chronicles 36.5-8. He too did evil in the eyes of the Lord. It was then that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah amd Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Jehoiakim then rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. The Lord send several nations including Babylon against Jehoiakim. This was because of the sins of Manasseh.

Jehoiakchin became the next king of Judah, 2 Kings 24.8-17; 2Chronicles 36.9-10, he too did eveil in the eyes of the Lord. Nebuchadnezzar laid a seige against Jerusalem. Jehoiachin surrendered to the Babylonians. Nebuchadnezzar carried off all the officials, fighting men, intellectuals and craftsmen and artisans to Babylon, leaving the poorest in Judah. Among these were Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego.

Nebuchadnezzar made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah. Zedekiah became the last king of Judah (2Kings 24.18-20; 2Chronicles 36.11-16; Jeremiah 52.1-3). He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim did.
