Nebuchadnezzar deported Jehoiachin to Babylon. He took the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he pardoned King Jehoiachin of Judah and released him from prison.
So Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes, and he dined regularly in the presence of the king of Babylon for the rest of his life.
As for his allowance, a regular allowance was given to him by the king, a portion for each day, for the rest of his life.
Look, you strong man! The Lord is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
For this is what the Lord says: Look, I am flinging away the land’s residents at this time and bringing them such distress that they will feel it.
Say to the king and the queen mother: Take a humble seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.
So I will hurl you from this land into a land that you and your ancestors have not known. There you will worship other gods both day and night, for I will not grant you grace.”
And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon” #– #this is the Lord’s declaration #– #“for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.” ’
This was after King Jeconiah, , the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had left Jerusalem.
Then the remnant of Judah #– #those going to live for a while there in the land of Egypt #– #will have no fugitive or survivor to return to the land of Judah where they are longing to return to stay, for they will not return except for a few fugitives.’
