A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
JEHOIAKIM, REIGNING ILL, IS CARRIED INTO BABYLON. (Ch2 36:5-8)

Jehoiakim . . . did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord--He followed the course of his idolatrous predecessors; and the people, to a great extent, disinclined to the reforming policy of his father, eagerly availed themselves of the vicious license which his lax administration restored. His character is portrayed with a masterly hand in the prophecy of Jeremiah (Jer 22:13-19). As the deputy of the king of Egypt, he departed further than his predecessor from the principles of Josiah's government; and, in trying to meet the insatiable cupidity of his master by grinding exactions from his subjects, he recklessly plunged into all evil.

13 Woe [01945] unto him that buildeth [01129] his house [01004] by [03808] unrighteousness [06664], and his chambers [05944] by wrong [04941]; that useth his neighbour's [07453] service [05647] without wages [02600], and giveth [05414] him not for his work [06467];
14 That saith [0559], I will build [01129] me a wide [04060] house [01004] and large [07304] chambers [05944], and cutteth him out [07167] windows [02474]; and it is cieled [05603] with cedar [0730], and painted [04886] with vermilion [08350].
15 Shalt thou reign [04427], because thou closest [08474] thyself in cedar [0730]? did not thy father [01] eat [0398] and drink [08354], and do [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666], and then it was well [02896] with him?
16 He judged [01777] the cause [01779] of the poor [06041] and needy [034]; then it was well [02896] with him: was not this to know [01847] me? saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
17 But thine eyes [05869] and thine heart [03820] are not but for thy covetousness [01215], and for to shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818], and for oppression [06233], and for violence [04835], to do [06213] it.
18 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; They shall not lament [05594] for him, saying, Ah [01945] my brother [0251]! or, Ah [01945] sister [0269]! they shall not lament [05594] for him, saying, Ah [01945] lord [0113]! or, Ah [01945] his glory [01935]!
19 He shall be buried [06912] with the burial [06900] of an ass [02543], drawn [05498] and cast forth [07993] beyond [01973] the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389].
5 Jehoiakim [03079] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]: and he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430].
6 Against him came up [05927] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and bound [0631] him in fetters [05178], to carry [03212] him to Babylon [0894].
7 Nebuchadnezzar [05019] also carried [0935] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] to Babylon [0894], and put [05414] them in his temple [01964] at Babylon [0894].
8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and his abominations [08441] which he did [06213], and that which was found [04672] in him, behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him.
3 Nevertheless [061] there are good [02896] things [01697] found [04672] in thee, in that thou hast taken away [01197] the groves [0842] out of the land [0776], and hast prepared [03559] thine heart [03824] to seek [01875] God [0430].
4 And also for the innocent [05355] blood [01818] that he shed [08210]: for he filled [04390] Jerusalem [03389] with innocent [05355] blood [01818]; which the LORD [03068] would [014] not pardon [05545].
17 Then he said [0559] unto me, Hast thou seen [07200] this, O son [01121] of man [0120]? Is it a light thing [07043] to the house [01004] of Judah [03063] that they commit [06213] the abominations [08441] which they commit [06213] here? for they have filled [04390] the land [0776] with violence [02555], and have returned [07725] to provoke me to anger [03707]: and, lo, they put [07971] the branch [02156] to their nose [0639].
9 Will ye steal [01589], murder [07523], and commit adultery [05003], and swear [07650] falsely [08267], and burn incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], and walk [01980] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] whom ye know [03045] not;
1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him.
2 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] against him bands [01416] of the Chaldees [03778], and bands [01416] of the Syrians [0758], and bands [01416] of the Moabites [04124], and bands [01416] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and sent [07971] them against Judah [03063] to destroy [06] it, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servants [05650] the prophets [05030].
3 Surely at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] came this upon Judah [03063], to remove [05493] them out of his sight [06440], for the sins [02403] of Manasseh [04519], according to all that he did [06213];
4 And also for the innocent [05355] blood [01818] that he shed [08210]: for he filled [04390] Jerusalem [03389] with innocent [05355] blood [01818]; which the LORD [03068] would [014] not pardon [05545].
8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and his abominations [08441] which he did [06213], and that which was found [04672] in him, behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
2 And the Lord [0136] gave [05414] Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] into his hand [03027], with part [07117] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430]: which he carried [0935] into the land [0776] of Shinar [08152] to the house [01004] of his god [0430]; and he brought [0935] the vessels [03627] into the treasure [0214] house [01004] of his god [0430].
7 Nebuchadnezzar [05019] also carried [0935] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] to Babylon [0894], and put [05414] them in his temple [01964] at Babylon [0894].

1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him.
8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and his abominations [08441] which he did [06213], and that which was found [04672] in him, behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
7 It may be they will present [05307] their supplication [08467] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and will return [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]: for great [01419] is the anger [0639] and the fury [02534] that the LORD [03068] hath pronounced [01696] against this people [05971].
2 Against Egypt [04714], against the army [02428] of Pharaohnecho [06549] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], which was by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578] in Carchemish [03751], which Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] smote [05221] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063].
