JEHOIACHIN (Heb. " Yah[weh] establisheth ")

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 310 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

JEHOIACHIN (Heb. " Yah[weh] establisheth ") , in the Bible, son of
Jehoiakim
  and king of Judah (2 Kings xxiv. 8 sqq.; 2 Chron, xxxvi. 9 seq.). He came to the throne at the age of eighteen in the midst of the Chaldean invasion of Judah, and is said to have reigned three months. He was compelled to surrender to

xxvii
 . 20). Nearly

captive
