Joachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nohesta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
The Lord showed me: and, behold, two baskets full of figs, set before the temple of the Lord: after that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, and his chief men, and the craftsmen and engravers of Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon.
Is this man Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? Is he a vessel wherein there is no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
