2 Kings 24:6, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This brief notice closes the account of Jehoiakim, a king of Judah who ruled under Egyptian then Babylonian pressure and finally rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar (verses 1 and 20). The narrator reports his death with the standard formula "rested with his fathers," meaning he died and was buried with his ancestors, though the fuller record is said to be in the chronicles of Judah's kings.
