2 Kings 24:4

which[R.V. and] the Lord would not pardon The example, set for so long a time, had so penetrated the national character, that Jehovah, who multiplies His pardon (Isaiah 55:7), could bear with the transgressions no longer. We gather from Chronicles that Jehoiakim did evil like his predecessors. His abominations that he did, and that which was found in him (probably meaning, the evil found in his ways), were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
