Jeremiah 29:2

Ezekiel 17:12

Ezekiel 19:9

(whom Jehovah has appointed), son of Jehoiakim, and for three months and ten days king of Judah. At his accession Jerusalem was quite defenseless, and unable to offer any resistance to the army which Nebuchadnezzar sent to besiege it (2 Kings 24:10-11). 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 (Jeremiah 29:2; Ezekiel 17:12; 19:9). There he remained a prisoner, actually in prison and wearing prison garments, for thirty-six years, viz., until the death of Nebuchadnezzar, when Evil-merodach, succeeding to the throne of Babylon, brought him out of prison, and made him sit at this own table. The time of his death is uncertain.
