2 Kings 24:1 says that in Jehoiakim’s days (WEB “In his days”) Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years and then turned and rebelled against him; 24:2, that the LORD sent bands against him (the Korean Revised Version: 여호야김에게로, to Jehoiakim); and 24:6, that Jehoiakim slept with his fathers. 2 Chronicles 36:6–7 says that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim (WEB “against him”) and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon (the Korean Revised Version: 바벨론으로 잡아가고, took him to Babylon), and put some of the vessels of the LORD’s house in his temple at Babylon. Daniel 1:1–2 says that in the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it, that the Lord gave Jehoiakim into his hand with some of the vessels of the house of God, and that he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god and brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. Only Daniel 1:1 gives a year for the coming, and the three years of 2 Kings 24:1 are the years Jehoiakim served; of these passages only Daniel 1:1 tells of a siege of Jerusalem. Daniel 1:2 does not say whether Jehoiakim went to the land of Shinar (the Korean Revised Version names what was carried with the singular 그것, it; WEB reads “them”). The text does not say whether the three books tell of one coming of Nebuchadnezzar or of more than one, and this collection records each as its book gives it and decides none of it.
