Correction

By W. N. G.

Correction.—In last week's issue (article "The Most High Ruleth," No. 2) it is inadvertently inferred that Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a captive to Babylon. The record says, "Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon." 2 Chron. 36:6. But he did not take him. Jehoiakim reigned eleven years, and died in Jerusalem. See verse 5 and 2 Kings 23:36 to 24:6. Nebuchadnezzar came against him twice,—first in the third year of his reign (Dan. 1:1), and secondly three years later, when he had rebelled (2 Kings 24:1); so that Jehoiakim still reigned five years afterward in Jerusalem before his death. Why Nebuchadnezzar did not take him to Babylon after binding him in fetters to do so, we are not told. W. N. G.
