Jehoiachin Reigns
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers [in death], and his son Jehoiachin became king in his place. 7 The king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, because the [a]king of Babylon had taken everything that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned [only] three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
