His name means "Yahweh establishes" or "Yahweh will uphold."<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> Jehoiachin's account is primarily found in <a href="/2_kings/24-8.htm">2 Kings 24:8-17</a>, <a href="/2_chronicles/36-9.htm">2 Chronicles 36:9-10</a>, and <a href="/jeremiah/52-31.htm">Jeremiah 52:31-34</a>. He is also mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus in <a href="/matthew/1-11.htm">Matthew 1:11-12</a>.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> Jehoiachin reigned as king of Judah during a tumultuous period marked by the Babylonian conquest. He ascended to the throne at the age of eighteen, following the death of his father, Jehoiakim. His reign lasted for only three months before he was deposed by Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon.<br><br><b>Reign and Deposition:</b> Jehoiachin's brief reign is characterized by the continuation of the idolatrous practices that had plagued Judah. The Bible notes, "And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done" (<a href="/2_kings/24-9.htm">2 Kings 24:9</a>). His rule ended when Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem, leading to Jehoiachin's surrender. He, along with his family and many of the elite of Judah, was taken captive to Babylon. This event marked the beginning of the Babylonian Exile.<br><br><b>Captivity in Babylon:</b> Jehoiachin spent thirty-seven years in Babylonian captivity. During this time, he was imprisoned until the reign of Evil-merodach, Nebuchadnezzar's successor. In the thirty-seventh year of Jehoiachin's exile, Evil-merodach released him from prison and treated him with favor. The Bible records, "He spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon" (<a href="/jeremiah/52-32.htm">Jeremiah 52:32</a>). Jehoiachin was given a regular allowance and a seat at the king's table for the rest of his life.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> Jehoiachin's life and reign are significant in the context of God's judgment and mercy. His captivity fulfilled the prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets regarding the consequences of Judah's persistent idolatry and disobedience. Despite his initial downfall, Jehoiachin's eventual release and elevation in Babylon symbolize a glimmer of hope and the possibility of restoration for the exiled people of Judah.<br><br><b>Genealogical Importance:</b> Jehoiachin is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew, underscoring his role in the Davidic line. This inclusion highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises, despite the apparent setbacks experienced by the nation of Judah during the exile.<br><br><b>Legacy:</b> Jehoiachin's legacy is a complex one, marked by both failure and redemption. His life serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God, as well as the enduring nature of God's promises to His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jehoiachin</span><p>preparation, or strength, of the Lord<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jehoiachin</span><p>(<i>whom Jehovah has appointed</i>), son of Jehoiakim, and for three months and ten days king of Judah.

(<a href="/2_kings/24-10.htm">2 Kings 24:10,11</a>) In a very short time Jehoiachin surrendered at discretion; and he, and the queen-mother, and all his servants, captains and officers, came out and gave themselves up to Nebuchadnezzar, who carried them, with the harem and the eunuchs, to Babylon.

In this last passage he is said to have been eight years old at the commencement of his reign. If the text has not here been altered from eighteen years, as it stands in the first passage, we may conclude that he reigned ten years conjointly with his father. He is also called Coniah, and Jeconiah, <a href="/1_chronicles/3-16.htm">1 Chronicles 3:16</a> <a href="/jeremiah/27-20.htm">Jeremiah 27:20</a> 37:1.

He was succeeded by his uncle, Mattaniah = Zedekiah (q.v.). He was the last direct heir to the Jewish crown. He was carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, along with the flower of the nobility, all the leading men in Jerusalem, and a great body of the general population, some thirteen thousand in all (<a href="/2_kings/24-12.htm">2 Kings 24:12</a>-16; <a href="/jeremiah/52-28.htm">Jeremiah 52:28</a>). After an imprisonment of thirty-seven years (<a href="/jeremiah/52-31.htm">Jeremiah 52:31</a>, 33), he was liberated by Evil-merodach, and permitted to occupy a place in the king's household and sit at his table, receiving "every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life" (<a href="/jeremiah/52-32.htm">52:32</a>-34). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">JEHOIACHIN</span><p>je-hoi'-a-kin (yehoyakhin, "Yahweh will uphold"; called also "Jeconiah" in <a href="/1_chronicles/3-16.htm">1 Chronicles 3:16</a> <a href="/jeremiah/24-1.htm">Jeremiah 24:1</a>; yekhonyah, "Yahweh will be steadfast," and "Coniah" in <a href="/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24, 28</a>; konyahu, "Yahweh has upheld him"; 'Ioakeim): A king of Judah; son and successor of Jehoiakim; reigned three months and surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar; was carried to Babylon, where, after being there 37 years a prisoner, he died.<br><br>1. Sources:<br><br>The story of his reign is told in <a href="/2_kings/24-8.htm">2 Kings 24:8-16</a>, and more briefly in <a href="/2_chronicles/36-9.htm">2 Chronicles 36:9-10</a>. Then, after the reign of his successor Zedekiah and the final deportation are narrated, the account of his release from prison 37 years afterward and the honor done him is given as the final paragraph of 2 Kings (25:27-30). The same thing is told at the end of the Book of Jeremiah (52:31-34). Neither for this reign nor for the succeeding is there the usual reference to state annals; these seem to have been discontinued after Jehoiakim. In <a href="/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24-30</a> there is a final pronouncement on this king, not so much upon the man as upon his inevitable fate, and a prediction that no descendant of his shall ever have prosperous rule in Judah.<br><br>2. His Reign:<br><br>Of the brief reign of Jehoiachin there is little to tell. It was rather a historic landmark than a reign; but its year, 597 B.C., was important as the date of the first deportation of Jewish captives to Babylon (unless we except the company of hostages carried away in Jehoiakim's 3rd (4th) year, <a href="/daniel/1-1.htm">Daniel 1:1-7</a>). His coming to the throne was just at or near the time when Nebuchadnezzar's servants were besieging Jerusalem; and when the Chaldean king's arrival in person to superintend the siege made apparent the futility of resistance, Jehoiachin surrendered to him, with all the royal household and the court. He was carried prisoner to Babylon, and with him ten thousand captives, comprising all the better and sturdier element of the people from prince to craftsman, leaving only the poorer sort to constitute the body of the nation under his successor Zedekiah. With the prisoners were carried away also the most valuable treasures of the temple and the royal palace.<br><br>3. The Two Elements:<br><br>Ever since Isaiah fostered the birth and education of a spiritually-minded remnant, for him the vital hope of Israel, the growth and influence of this element in the nation has been discernible, as well in the persecution it has roused (see under MANASSEH), as in its fiber of sound progress. It is as if a sober sanity of reflection were curing the people of their empty idolatries. The feeling is well expressed in such a passage as <a href="/habakkuk/2-18.htm">Habakkuk 2:18-20</a>. Hitherto, however, the power of this spiritual Israel has been latent, or at best mingled and pervasive among the various occupations and interests of the people. The surrender of Jehoiachin brings about a segmentation of Israel on an unheard-of principle: not the high and low in wealth or social position, but the weight and worth of all classes on the one side, who are marked for deportation, and the refuse element of all classes on the other, who are left at home. With which element of this strange sifting Jeremiah's prophetic hopes are identified appears in his parable of the Good and Bad Figs (<a href="/nasb/jeremiah/24.htm">Jeremiah 24</a>), in which he predicts spiritual integrity and upbuilding to the captives, and to the home-staying remainder, shame and calamity. Later on, he writes to the exiles in Babylon, advising them to make themselves at home and be good citizens (<a href="/jeremiah/29-1.htm">Jeremiah 29:1-10</a>). As for the hapless king, "this man Coniah," who is to be their captive chief in a strange land, Jeremiah speaks of him in a strain in which the stern sense of Yahweh's inexorable purpose is mingled with tender sympathy as he predicts that this man shall never have a descendant on David's throne (<a href="/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24-30</a>). It is as if he said, All as Yahweh has ordained, but-the pity of it!<br><br>4. Thirty-seven Years Later:<br><br>In the first year of Nebuchadnezzar's successor, perhaps by testamentary edict of Nebuchadnezzar himself, a strange thing occurred. Jehoiachin, who seems to have been a kind of hostage prisoner for his people, was released from prison, honored above all the other kings in similar case, and thenceforth to the end of his life had his portion at the royal table (<a href="/2_kings/25-27.htm">2 Kings 25:27-30</a> <a href="/jeremiah/52-31.htm">Jeremiah 52:31-34</a>). This act of clemency may have been due to some such good influence at court as is described in the Book of Daniel; but also it was a tribute to the good conduct of that better element of the people of which he was hostage and representative. It was the last event of Judean royalty; and suggestive for the glimpse it seems to afford of a people whom the Second Isaiah could address as redeemed and forgiven, and of a king taken from durance and judgment (compare <a href="/isaiah/53-8.htm">Isaiah 53:8</a>), whose career makes strangely vivid the things that are said of the mysterious "Servant of Yahweh."<br><br>John Franklin Genung<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3112.htm"><span class="l">3112.
