His reign was short, lasting only three months, and he was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BC. The promise of restoration is significant because it speaks to the hope of returning from exile, a central theme in the prophetic literature. Historically, Jeconiah's captivity marked a pivotal moment for Judah, as it symbolized the beginning of the Babylonian Exile. Theologically, the mention of Jeconiah highlights the Davidic line, which is crucial for messianic prophecies, as Jesus is later identified as a descendant of David through this lineage (<a href="/matthew/1-11.htm">Matthew 1:11-12</a>).along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon This phrase emphasizes the collective nature of the exile and the hope for communal restoration. The Babylonian Exile was a period of profound loss and transformation for the people of Judah, as they were removed from their homeland and the temple, which was central to their worship and identity. The promise of return would have been a source of great hope and encouragement. Theologically, the exile and promised return can be seen as a type of spiritual exile and redemption, reflecting the broader biblical narrative of sin, judgment, and restoration. This theme is echoed in other scriptures, such as the return from exile in Ezra and Nehemiah, and ultimately in the New Testament with the spiritual restoration through Christ.declares the LORD This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of the prophecy. The declaration by the LORD signifies that the message is not merely human hope or wishful thinking but a divine promise. In the context of the prophetic books, such declarations are common and serve to remind the audience of God's sovereignty and faithfulness. The use of "declares the LORD" is a hallmark of prophetic literature, emphasizing that the words spoken are not the prophet's own but are delivered with divine authority.for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon The imagery of breaking the yoke is powerful, symbolizing liberation from oppression and bondage. In the historical context, the yoke represents the subjugation of Judah under Babylonian rule. The promise to break this yoke would have been a profound assurance of freedom and divine intervention. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages where God promises to deliver His people from oppression (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/9-4.htm">Isaiah 9:4</a>, where the yoke of burden is broken). Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate liberation from sin and death through Jesus Christ, who offers freedom to all who believe in Him (<a href="/john/8-36.htm">John 8:36</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeconiah.htm">Jeconiah (Jehoiachin)</a> The son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, who was taken into exile by the Babylonians.

Zedekiah was to be deposed as too submissive to Nebuchadnezzar, and the young Jeconiah was to be brought back from his prison at Babylon, and re-established in the kingdom as the representative of the policy of resistance, resting on the support of Pharaoh-Hophra.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 4. - And I will bring again... Jeconiah. Hananiah thus directly contradicts the assurance of Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/22-26.htm">Jeremiah 22:26, 27</a>) that Jehoiachin would not return, but would die in a foreign land. Has he a political object in his favorable prognostication for the deposed king? Does he, in short, belong to a Jehoiachin party opposed to the friends of Zedekiah? The view is possible, and may seem to be confirmed by the emphatic repetition of the fall of Nebuchadnezzar, the liege lord of Zedekiah. Still there is evidence enough in modern history that the return of an exile is not necessarily tantamount to his reinstatement in his office. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/28-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>And I אֲנִ֥י (’ă·nî) Pronoun - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_589.htm">Strong's 589: </a> I will restore מֵשִׁ֛יב (mê·šîḇ) Verb - Hifil - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7725.htm">Strong's 7725: </a> To turn back, in, to retreat, again to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to this הַזֶּ֖ה (haz·zeh) Article | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that place הַמָּק֥וֹם (ham·mā·qō·wm) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4725.htm">Strong's 4725: </a> A standing, a spot, a condition Jeconiah יְכָנְיָ֣ה (yə·ḵā·nə·yāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3204.htm">Strong's 3204: </a> Jeconiah son בֶן־ (ḇen-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Jehoiakim יְהוֹיָקִ֣ים (yə·hō·w·yā·qîm) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3079.htm">Strong's 3079: </a> Jehoiakim -- 'the LORD raises up', three Israelites king מֶֽלֶךְ־ (me·leḵ-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Judah, יְ֠הוּדָה (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3063.htm">Strong's 3063: </a> Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites along with וְאֶת־ (wə·’eṯ-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_854.htm">Strong's 854: </a> Nearness, near, with, by, at, among all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the exiles גָּל֨וּת (gā·lūṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1546.htm">Strong's 1546: </a> Captivity, exiles from Judah יְהוּדָ֜ה (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3063.htm">Strong's 3063: </a> Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites who went הַבָּאִ֣ים (hab·bā·’îm) Article | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go to Babylon,’ בָּבֶ֗לָה (bā·ḇe·lāh) Noun - proper - feminine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_894.htm">Strong's 894: </a> Babylon -- an eastern Mediterranean empire and its capital city declares נְאֻם־ (nə·’um-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5002.htm">Strong's 5002: </a> An oracle the LORD, יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel ‘for כִּ֣י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction I will break אֶשְׁבֹּ֔ר (’eš·bōr) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7665.htm">Strong's 7665: </a> To break, break in pieces the yoke עֹ֖ל (‘ōl) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5923.htm">Strong's 5923: </a> A yoke of the king מֶ֥לֶךְ (me·leḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of Babylon.’?
