Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king Jehoiachin's ascension to the throne occurred during a tumultuous period in Judah's history, marked by political instability and the looming threat of Babylonian conquest. His young age suggests a lack of experience, which may have contributed to his inability to effectively govern or resist external pressures. This period is characterized by the decline of the Davidic dynasty, fulfilling earlier prophecies of judgment against Judah due to persistent idolatry and disobedience (2 Kings 21:10-15). and he reigned in Jerusalem three months His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan she was from Jerusalem Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Consequences of LeadershipJehoiachin's brief reign serves as a reminder of the impact of leadership decisions. Leaders are accountable to God and their actions can have lasting consequences on their people. The Role of Family Influence The mention of Nehushta and Elnathan suggests the importance of family background and influence in shaping a leader's character and decisions. Reflect on the positive or negative influences in your own life. Divine Judgment and Mercy Despite the judgment on Jehoiachin, God's overarching plan for redemption continues. This encourages believers to trust in God's sovereignty even in times of discipline. The Importance of Obedience Jehoiachin's reign is a cautionary tale about the importance of obedience to God's commands. Reflect on areas in your life where obedience is lacking and seek God's guidance.THE REIGN OF JEHOIACHIN. BEGINNING OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY (8) Jehoiachin.--"Jah will confirm." Four or five different forms of this name occur in the documents. Ezekiel 1:2 gives the contraction Joiachin. In Jeremiah we find a popular transposition of the two elements, thus: Jechonjahu (once, viz., Jeremiah 24:1, Heb.), and usually the shorter form, Jechoniah (Jeremiah 27:20; Esther 2:6); which is further abridged into Coniah (Heb., Chonjahu) in Jeremiah 22:24; Jeremiah 22:28. Ewald thinks this last the original name; but Hengstenberg supposes that the prophet altered the name, so as to make of it a "Jah will confirm" without the "will," in order to foreshadow the fate which awaited this king. . . . Verses 8-16 - REIGN OF JEHOIACHIN. The short reign of Jehoisshin is now described. It lasted but three months. For some reason which is unrecorded, Nebuchadnezzar, who had placed him on the throne, took offence at his conduct, and sent an army against him to effect his deposition. Jehoiachin offered scarcely any resistance. He "went out" of the city (ver. 12), with the queen-mother, the officers of the court, and the princes, and submitted himself to the will of the great king. But he gained nothing by his pusillanimity. The Babylonians entered Jerusalem, plundered the temple and the royal palace, made prisoners of the king, his mother, the princes and nobles, the armed garrison, and all the more skilled artisans, to the number altogether of ten thousand souls (Josephus says 10,832, 'Ant. Jud.,' 10:7. § 1), and carried them captive to Babylon. Zedekiah, the king's uncle, was made monarch in his room. Verse 8. - Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign. In 2 Chronicles 36:9 he is said to have been only eight years old, but this is probably an accidental corruption, the yod, which is the Hebrew sign for ten, easily slipping out. As he had "wives" (ver. 15) and "seed" (Jeremiah 22:28), he could not well be less than eighteen. And he reigned in Jerusalem three months. "Three months and ten days," according to 2 Chronicles (l.s.c.) and Josephus ('Ant. Jud.,' l.s.c.). And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. Elnathan was one of the chief of the Jerusalem princes under Jehoiakim (Jeremiah 26:22; Jeremiah 36:12, 25). His daughter, Nehushta - the Noste of Josephus ('Ant. Jud.,' 10:6. § 3) - was probably the ruling spirit of the time during her son's short reign. We find mention of her in Jeremiah 26:26; 29:2; and in Josephus, 'Ant. Jud.,' 10:6. § 3, and Jeremiah 10:7. § 1. Ewald suggests that she "energetically supported" her son in the policy whereby he offended Nebuchadnezzar.Parallel Commentaries ...
