2 Kings 24:9
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.
from Jehoiachin Reigns in Judah, 2 Kings 24:6-9
What it says

Jehoiachin does evil in the sight of the LORD, following the pattern of his father.

What it is doing

This verse places his reign under the same moral judgment as the one before it.

In context

6And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place. 7Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River. 8Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem. 9And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.
