Theological / Devotional

Jehoiachin. See on 2 Kings 24:6.

Eight years old. This is obviously a scribal error. The Syriac, several versions of the LXX, and 2 Kings 24:8, read “eighteen” (see on Jer. 22:28). Jehoiachin was married and already had five children in 592, five years after going to Babylon, as we know from cuneiform records excavated in Babylon.
