בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה יְהוֹיָקִים בְּמׇלְכוֹ וְאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
Yehoyaqim was twenty five years old when began to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Yerushalayim: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.

עָלָיו עָלָה נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיַּאַסְרֵהוּ בַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם לְהֹלִיכוֹ בָּבֶֽלָה׃
Against him came up Nevukhadneżżar king of Bavel, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Bavel.

Rashi
להוליכו בבלה. ולא הוליכו לאשור אלא בדרך מת והשליך נבלתו וכן ניבא (ירמיהו כ״ב:י״ט) קבורת חמור יקבר סחוב והשלך מהלאה לשערי ירושלים והיכן קבורת חמור במעי הכלב וכן מוכיח (במלכים ב כ״ד:ו׳) וישכב יהויקים עם אבותיו ולא כתב ויקברהו:
to bring him to Babylon He did not actually bring him, however, but he died on the way, and they cast away his corpse, and so did Jeremiah prophesy (22:19): “A donkey’s burial shall he be buried, dragged and tossed past the gates of Jerusalem.” Now where is a donkey’s burial? In a dog’s stomach, and so it is apparent in II Kings (24:6): “And Jehoiakim slept with his forefathers,” but it is not written: “and they buried him.”
וּמִכְּלֵי בֵּית יְהֹוָה הֵבִיא נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר לְבָבֶל וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּהֵיכָלוֹ בְּבָבֶֽל׃
And Nevukhadneżżar carried some of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Bavel, and put them in his temple at Bavel.

Rashi
ומכלי בית ה'. ומקצת כלי בית ה', ועל זה נתנבא ירמיה (כו) כי כה אמר ה' צבאות אלהי ישראל על הכלים הנותרים וגו' ומקשה בסדר עולם בשנת שלש למלכות יהויקים מלך יהודה ויתן ה' בידו וכאן מוכיח שהיה בי"א למלכות ומה ת"ל בשנת שלש למרדו שנאמר (במלכים ב כ״ד:א׳) ויהי לו יהויקים עבד שלשה שנים וישב וימרוד בו שלשה שנים ובשנת שלשה למרדו עלה עליו והוא שנת שמונה לנבוכדנאצר דאמ' מר שנה ראשונה כבש נינוה שניה כבש יהויקי' ושלש' שנים מרד בו והוא לא מלך כי אם בשנ' ארבע ליהויקים שנ' (ירמיהו כ״ה:א׳) בשנת הרביעית ליהויקים בן יאשיהו מלך יהודה היא השנה הראשונה לנבוכדנצר:
And some of the vessels of the House of the Lord And some of the vessels of the House of the Lord, and concerning this, Jeremiah prophesied (27:21): “For so said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels remaining, etc.” Seder Olam questions (Dan. 1:1): “In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, etc. and the Lord delivered...into his hand.” Here, however, it is apparent that it was in the eleventh year of his reign. Now what is the meaning of “in the third year”? Counting from his rebellion, for it is stated (II Kings 24:1): “and Jehoiakim was his vassal for three years, then he turned and rebelled against him” for three years, and in the third year of his rebellion, he advanced against him, and that is the eighth year of Nebuchadnezzar, for the master taught: In the first year [of his reign] he conquered Nineveh; in the second year he vanquished Jehoiakim, who served him for three years and rebelled against him for three years, and he did not reign until the fourth year of Jehoiakim, for it is stated (Jer. 25:1): “in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah - that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar.”
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יְהוֹיָקִים וְתֹעֲבֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה וְהַנִּמְצָא עָלָיו הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהוֹיָכִין בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ {פ}
Now the rest of the acts of Yehoyaqim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Yisra᾽el and Yehuda: and Yehoyakhin his son reigned in his stead.

Rashi
ותועבותיו. שבא על אמו:
and the abominations that he was intimate with his mother.
והנמצא עליו. כתובת קעקע:
and that which was found upon him This alludes to a tattoo, [something found on the body].
עליו עלה נבוכדנאצר. כי לא יכול פרעה לצאת מארצו כמו שכתוב (במלכים ב כ״ד:ז׳) ולא הוסיף עוד מלך מצרים לצאת מארצו כי לקח מלך בבל מנחל מצרים עד נהר פרת כל אשר למלך מצרים שנצח בשנה הרביעית בכרכמיש של נהר פרת כמפורש (בירמיהו מ״ה:א׳):
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon advanced upon him because Pharaoh could not go forth from his land, as it is written (II Kings 24:7): “And the king of Egypt no longer went out of his land, for the king of Babylonia had taken from the river of Egypt until the Euphrates River, all that belonged to the king of Egypt,” for he defeated him in the fourth year in Carchemish on the Euphrates River, as is delineated in Jeremiah (46:2).
