1 IN his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. 2 And the LORD stirred up against him bands of the Chaldeans and bands of Edomites and bands of Moabites and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which he spoke by his servants the prophets from the mouth of the LORD. 3 And there came a fierce wrath against Judah, to remove them out of his sight on account of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done, 4 And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon. 2 Kings 24:1-4, Lamsa Bible.
