Jehoiachin King of Judah^(A)

⁸ Jehoiachin^(B) was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta^(C) daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.

¹² Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his attendants, his nobles and his officials all surrendered^(A) to him.

In the eighth year of the reign of the king of Babylon, he took Jehoiachin prisoner.

²⁴ “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin^[a](A) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring^(B) on my right hand, I would still pull you off.
