Nevertheless the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah{gr.Juda}, so that they should be removed from his presence, because of the sins of Manasseh{gr.Manasses} in all that he did, and for the innocent blood which Jehoiakim{gr.Joakim} shed, for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; yet the Lord would not utterly destroy them.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 36:5

_ _ 2 Chronicles 36:5-8. Jehoiakim, reigning ill, is carred into Babylon.

_ _ 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 (Jeremiah 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.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:1-10.
