Jehoiachin (jul 1, 598 BC – nov 22, 597 BC)
Description:
Jehoiachin was evil in the sight of the Lord, just as his father had done. He was 18 years old when he started to reign, and he reigned for 3 months in Jerusalem (2 kings 24:9).Extra detail:
In the 8th year of his reign the king of Babylon came and took Jehoiachim prisoner, and he made Mattaniah his uncle to reign in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
If Jehoiachin's life had not been preserved then there would not be the line of David, and then Jesus would have not been born.
