You need to override getColumnClass() on the table model, and return ImageIcon.class for the column with the ImageIcon. If you don't, the renderer will show the toString(), as the default column class type will be Object. See How to use Tables: Editors and Renderers.

For example

ImageIcon icon=new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("exit.png"));
String[] columns={"Page No","Chapter","Image"};
Object[][] rows={{1,4,icon},{2,7,icon}};

DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(rows, columns) {
    @Override
    public Class<?> getColumnClass(int column) {
        switch(column) {
            case 0:
            case 1: return Integer.class;
            case 2: return ImageIcon.class;
            default: return Object.class;
        }
    }
};
JTable table = new JTable(model);
