8 Eighteen years old was Je·hoiʹa·chin+ when he began to reign, and for three months he reigned in Jerusalem.+ And his mother’s name was Ne·hushʹta the daughter of El·naʹthan of Jerusalem.

15 Thus he took Je·hoiʹa·chin+ into exile to Babylon;+ and the king’s mother+ and the king’s wives and his court officials+ and the foremost men of the land he led away as exiled people from Jerusalem to Babylon.

10 And at the return+ of the year King Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar sent+ and proceeded to bring him to Babylon+ with desirable articles of the house of Jehovah.+ Further, he made Zed·e·kiʹah+ his [father’s] brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.+

30 This is what Jehovah has said, ‘WRITE down this man as childless,+ as an able-bodied man who will not have any success in his days; for from his offspring not a single one will have any success,+ sitting upon the throne of David+ and ruling anymore in Judah.’”
