And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Kings. Nebuchadnezzar appoints Zedekiah as king, but he eventually rebels against Babylon. The narrator again states that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. The political rebellion is presented within a context of continuing unfaithfulness. Jerusalem’s fall no longer appears unexpected: it is the culmination of a chain of warnings and decisions. The chapter ends by preparing the final siege. Judah still retains a royal structure, but its independence is increasingly apparent only in name, and its judgment is about to be completed.

Und er tat, was dem HERRN übel gefiel, wie Jojakim getan hatte.
E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová, conforme a todo lo que había hecho Joacim.
Hizo lo malo a los ojos de Jehová, conforme a todo lo que había hecho Joacim.
Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, entièrement comme avait fait Jojakim.
Ed egli fece quello che dispiace al Signore, interamente come avea fatto Gioiachim;
E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme tudo quanto fizera Jeoiaquim.
西底家 行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,正如 約雅敬 一切所行的。
