Jehoiakim
Jehoiakim, also known as Eliakim, was a king of Judah who reigned for eleven years before being succeeded by his son Jehoiachin.
Jehoiakim was the eighteenth king of Judah, son of Josiah, reigning around 609–598 BC—a puppet king first installed by Pharaoh Necho II and later subject to Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He reversed Josiah's reforms, taxed the people to pay tribute to Egypt, and shed innocent blood (2 Kings 23:37; Jeremiah 22:13–19). When the prophet Uriah proclaimed judgment, Jehoiakim had him extradited from Egypt and executed (Jeremiah 26:20–23). Most notoriously, when Jeremiah's scroll was read aloud, Jehoiakim cut off each column as it was read and threw it into the fire (Jeremiah 36:21–23). He died before Babylon's full siege; Jeremiah declared he would receive 'the burial of a donkey' (Jeremiah 22:18–19).
