2 Chronicles 36:9-10·~1 min
Jehoiachin Reigns in Judah
Jehoiachin rules only a few months and does evil before the Lord. Babylon then summons him away, takes valuable temple articles, and installs Zedekiah instead.
J9ehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD. 10In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Section summaryJehoiachin's reign is even shorter than his father's, and it too is marked by evil before the Lord. Nebuchadnezzar soon brings him to Babylon, removes more valuable temple items, and sets Zedekiah on the throne.
Role in the chapterThis brief section accelerates the collapse. The Davidic throne turns over quickly while Babylon strips both king and temple with increasing ease.
