His abominations which he did - See Jer 7:9, Jer 7:30-31; Jer 19:3-13; Jer 25:1 etc.; Jehoiakim appears to have restored all the idolatries which Josiah his father had swept away.
This site's exposition
he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God
on 2 Chronicles 36:5-8
Jehoiakim does evil eleven years, and Chronicles adds one detail Kings omits: Nebuchadnezzar binds him in fetters to carry him to Babylon, though Clarke notes the record does not say the deportation was carried through and he was likely left tributary a while longer. The vessels of the house of the Lord go to Babylon and into Nebuchadnezzar's own temple, the first stage of a stripping this chapter finishes at verse eighteen. Matthew Henry reads the sequence as just: Judah brought the idols of the nations into God's house, and now God lets the nations carry that house's vessels away.
