2 Chronicles 36:8

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead." — 2 Chronicles 36:8 (ASV)

The abominations he committed - See Jeremiah 7:9, Jeremiah 7:30–31, Jeremiah 19:3–13, and Jeremiah 25:1 and following. Jehoiakim appears to have restored all the idolatries that Josiah his father had swept away.
