‘As I live’ #– #this is the Lord’s declaration #– #‘though you, Coniah , son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would tear you from it.
King Jehoiachin of Judah, along with his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials, surrendered to the king of Babylon. So the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.
