Reading for October 21st

Read 2 Kings 23.36-24.7 In 23.36-24.7: The reign of Jehoiakim. In 21.1 The new power at the end of the seventh century BCE was babylon (see v. 7). Judah came under Babylon control around 605 BCE and rebelled three years later. In verse 2: Chaldeans is another name for Babylonians. In verses 3-4: As in 23.6, the exile is blamed on Manasseh. In verse 7: Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had defeated the Egyptians in the battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, so Egypt no longer controlled Judah. Comments or Questions..
