His reign was marked by political turmoil and spiritual decline. He was placed on the throne by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt, indicating Judah's subservience to foreign powers. Jehoiakim's acts included heavy taxation and forced labor to pay tribute to Egypt and later Babylon, reflecting the oppressive conditions of his rule. His reign is characterized by a rejection of prophetic warnings, notably from Jeremiah, who condemned his idolatry and injustice.<p><b>along with all his accomplishments</b><br>Jehoiakim's accomplishments are often viewed negatively in the biblical narrative. He is known for building projects, possibly including the expansion of Jerusalem's walls, but these were achieved through exploitation. His reign saw the beginning of the Babylonian exile, as he rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar, leading to the first deportation of Jews to Babylon. His accomplishments are overshadowed by his failure to lead Judah in faithfulness to God, contrasting with the biblical ideal of a king who upholds justice and righteousness.<p><b>are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?</b><br>This phrase suggests that a more detailed account of Jehoiakim's reign was recorded in a historical document now lost, known as the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. This book is distinct from the biblical Chronicles and served as a royal archive. The mention of this source indicates the historical practice of recording royal annals, similar to other ancient Near Eastern cultures. It underscores the biblical authors' reliance on historical records to compile the narrative, affirming the historical basis of the biblical account.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jehoiakim.htm">Jehoiakim</a></b><br>The king of Judah during this period, known for his disobedience to God and his alliance with Egypt.
