His reign was short-lived, lasting only three months and ten days, as recorded in 2 Kings 24:8. During his reign, Jerusalem was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Jehoiachin surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar and was taken captive to Babylon along with his family and many of the elite of Judah. This event marked the beginning of the Babylonian exile, a significant period in Jewish history. Jehoiachin's captivity lasted for 37 years until he was released by Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon, as noted in 2 Kings 25:27-30.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3068.htm">Yhvh</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3559.htm">kun</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"the LORD appoints," a king of Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Coniah (3), Jehoiachin (10), Jehoiachin's (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יְהוֺיָכִין</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יְהוֺיָכִן</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יוֺיָכִין</font> </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>apointeth</em>) last king but one of Judah, son of Jehoiakim (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἰωακειμ</font>; in Kings, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἰωακειν</font>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> in Jeremiah (usually) & Chronicles <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἰεχονίας</font>); <font class="hebrew2">יְהוֺיָכִין</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/24-6.htm">2 Kings 24:6</a>,8,12,15; <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/25-27.htm">2 Kings 25:27</a> (twice in verse); 2Chronicles 36:8,9; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/52-31.htm">Jeremiah 52:31</a> = <font class="hebrew2">יְהוֺיָכִן</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/52-31.htm">Jeremiah 52:31</a>; = <font class="hebrew2">יוֺיָכִין</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/1-2.htm">Ezekiel 1:2</a>; = <font class="hebrew2">יְכוֺנְיָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/27-20.htm">Jeremiah 27:20</a>; = <font class="hebrew2">יְכָנְיָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/28-4.htm">Jeremiah 28:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/29-2.htm">Jeremiah 29:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/3-16.htm">1 Chronicles 3:16,17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/esther/2-6.htm">Esther 2:6</a>; = <font class="hebrew2">יְכָנְיָהוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/24-1.htm">Jeremiah 24:1</a> = <font class="hebrew2">כָּנְיָהוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24,28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/37-1.htm">Jeremiah 37:1</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Jehoiachin <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3068.htm">Yhovah</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3559.htm">kuwn</a>; Jehovah will establish; Jehojakin, a Jewish king -- Jehoiachin.
