Spring was a time when kings typically went to war (<a href="/2_samuel/11.htm">2 Samuel 11:1</a>). This timing indicates a strategic move by Nebuchadnezzar, aligning with the season when military campaigns were most feasible.King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin Nebuchadnezzar II was the powerful king of Babylon, known for his military conquests and the expansion of the Babylonian Empire. Jehoiachin, also known as Jeconiah or Coniah, was the king of Judah who reigned for only three months before being deposed. This summoning signifies the subjugation of Judah under Babylonian control, fulfilling the warnings of prophets like Jeremiah (<a href="/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24-30</a>).and brought him to Babylon The deportation of Jehoiachin to Babylon marks the beginning of the Babylonian Exile, a pivotal event in Jewish history. This exile was a fulfillment of prophetic warnings about the consequences of Judah's disobedience to God (<a href="/2_kings/24-10.htm">2 Kings 24:10-16</a>). Babylon, located in modern-day Iraq, was the center of the Babylonian Empire and a place of significant cultural and political influence.along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD The removal of sacred articles from the temple in Jerusalem symbolizes the desecration and loss of Judah's spiritual and national identity. These items were likely used in Babylonian temples, representing the triumph of Babylonian gods over the God of Israel, a theme echoed in <a href="/daniel/1-2.htm">Daniel 1:2</a>.And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem Zedekiah, originally named Mattaniah, was Jehoiachin's uncle and was installed as a puppet king by Nebuchadnezzar. His reign was marked by political instability and eventual rebellion against Babylon, leading to the final destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC (<a href="/2_kings/24-17.htm">2 Kings 24:17-20</a>).

It appears, from <a href="/2_kings/25-27.htm">2 Kings 25:27-30</a>, that the captivity of Jehoia-chin, which thus began, lasted thirty-seven years, till B.C. 561, past the end of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, and that he was thenceforward kindly treated by Evil-Merodach. Compare particularly with this verse the parallel in its vers. 10-16. Zedekiah his brother; i.e. not adopting the very generic usage of the terms of relationship, so common in Old Testament language, his uncle. His mother (Hamutal, ver. 18 of parallel) was the same with the mother of Jehoahaz. Ten years old evidently when Jehoiakim began his reign, he must have been thirteen years younger than his whole brother Je-hoahaz. Zedekiah's name was before Mat-taniah.
