The Nature of Jehoiakim's Sins

Commentators explain that the term "abominations" was not a vague accusation. They point to the book of Jeremiah, which details Jehoiakim's specific sins: he actively restored the idolatry his righteous father Josiah had abolished and was also known for tyranny, greed, and shedding innocent blood. The phrase "that which was found in him" refers to his overall corrupt character and conduct.
