This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
13 The king[fn] who built his house by doing what’s not right
≈ and built his upper rooms by unjustly forcing people to work,
→ won’t end well.
He forced the citizens to work without getting paid—
≈ not giving them their wages.
14 He’d decided to build himself a large house with spacious upper rooms,
so he cut out large windows for it, and panelled it with cedar,
and painted it with red ochre.
15 Does having the best cedar make you a better king?
Didn’t (Yoshiyah/Josiah) your father eat and drink well?
However, he administered justice and did what was right
→ so things went well for him.
16 He took up the cause of the poor and needy,
→ so things went well for him.
Yahweh declares that that’s what it means to know me,
17 but your desires and motives are only focused on your dishonest gain,
and on oppression and practicing extortion.
18 Therefore this is what Yahweh says about Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim), son of Yehudah’s King Yoshiyah (Josiah):
They won’t mourn for him saying, ‘Oh no, my brother! Oh no, my sister!’
≈ They won’t mourn for him saying, ‘Oh no, my master! Oh no, his splendour!’[ref]
19 He’ll be buried just like a donkey would be—
dragged away and thrown somewhere outside Yerushalem’s gates.
22:13 Referring here to Yehudah’s King Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim)—see verse 24.
2Ki 23:36–24:6:
36 Yehoyakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for eleven years. (His mother was Pedayah’s daughter Zebudah from Rumah.) 37 He did what Yahweh had said was evil like many of his ancestors had done.
24 During his reign, the Babylonian King Nevukadnetstsar attacked, and Yehoyakim ruled under him for three years before rebelling against him. 2 Then Yahweh sent troops of Chaldeans, troops from Aram, troops from Moab, and Ammonite troops against Yehudah at different times to destroy them, just as Yahweh had said through his servants the prophets. 3 Those things troubled Yehudah at Yahweh’s command to remove them out of his sight because of all of King Menashsheh’s sins 4 and because he’d killed innocent people—Yahweh wouldn’t forgive him because he’d filled Yerushalem with innocent blood.
5 Everything else that Yehoyakim said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yehudah. 6 Then Yehoyakim died and his son Yehoyakin replaced him as king.
2Ch 36:5-7:
5 Yehoyakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for eleven years. He did many things that Yahweh had said were evil.[ref] 6 Babylonia’s King Nebuchadnezzar (Heb. Nevukadnetstsar) attacked and captured Yehoyakim and took him to Babylon in bronze chains,[ref] 7 along with some items from Yahweh’s temple that were taken to Babylon and placed in the king’s temple there.
