Jehoiachin 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.
from Jehoiachin Reigns in Judah, 2 Chronicles 36:9-10
What it says

Jehoiachin becomes king at eighteen, reigns three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and does evil in the sight of the Lord.

What it is doing

It repeats the pattern of brief reign and moral failure.

In context

9Jehoiachin 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.
