As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim
This phrase introduces a summary of Jehoiakim's reign, suggesting that his deeds were numerous and significant enough to be recorded elsewhere. The Hebrew word for "acts" (מַעֲשִׂים, ma'asim) often refers to deeds or works, indicating that Jehoiakim's reign was marked by actions that were noteworthy, albeit not necessarily positive. Historically, Jehoiakim was a king of Judah who reigned during a tumultuous period marked by political instability and foreign domination, particularly by Babylon. His reign is characterized by rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar, which ultimately led to his downfall.

the abominations he committed
The term "abominations" (תּוֹעֵבוֹת, to'evot) in Hebrew is often used in the Old Testament to describe actions that are detestable or repugnant to God, typically involving idolatry or moral corruption. Jehoiakim's reign was indeed marked by such practices, as he is known to have engaged in idolatry and other sinful behaviors that provoked the Lord's anger. This phrase underscores the spiritual decline of Judah under his leadership, reflecting a broader pattern of disobedience and apostasy that characterized the nation during this era.

and what was found against him
This phrase suggests that there were specific charges or accusations documented against Jehoiakim. The Hebrew word for "found" (נִמְצָא, nimtza) implies discovery or uncovering, indicating that Jehoiakim's misdeeds were not only known but also recorded as evidence of his unfaithfulness. This could refer to both his political failures and his spiritual transgressions, which were significant enough to be noted in historical records.

they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah
This reference to the "Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah" indicates that Jehoiakim's actions were documented in a historical record that chronicled the reigns of the kings of both the northern and southern kingdoms. This book, likely a source used by the author of Chronicles, served as an official account of the monarchs' reigns, providing a detailed record of their deeds, both good and bad. The mention of this book highlights the importance of historical documentation in preserving the lessons of the past for future generations.

And his son Jehoiachin became king in his place
The transition of power to Jehoiachin, Jehoiakim's son, marks a continuation of the Davidic line, albeit during a period of great instability. Jehoiachin's ascension to the throne was short-lived, as he reigned for only three months before being taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar. This phrase underscores the fleeting nature of earthly power and the consequences of a legacy marred by disobedience to God. It serves as a reminder of the importance of faithfulness and righteousness in leadership, as well as the enduring hope for redemption and restoration through God's promises.

(8) Now the rest of the acts.--(Comp. 2Kings 24:5.)

And his abominations which he did.--His crimes against God and man, i.e., probably acts of idolatry and tyranny. (Comp. Jeremiah 25:6; Jeremiah 7:5-11; Jeremiah 22:13-19; covetousness, shedding innocent blood, &c. charged against him.)

That which was found in him.--2Chronicles 19:3. His general character and conduct. . . .

Verse 8. - The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim. As our compiler has literally told us none at all, we need but note his expression here as a convenient formula, indicating his own intentional brevity, and the fact that he was privy to all in the original sources, which he nevertheless now omitted; yet see Jeremiah 7:9; Jeremiah 19:13, etc. The telling expression, what was found in him, is too readily to be filled up from the parallel, in its vers. 3, 4. Jehoiachin his son. In 1 Chronicles 3:16 he is called Jeconiah, and in Jeremiah 22:24 he is called Coniah.
