Theological / Devotional

Jehoiachin. Except in one case (Jer. 52:31), Jeremiah calls this king either Coniah (Jer. 22:24, 28; 37:1) or Jeconiah (Jer. 24:1; 27:20; 28:4; 29:2). In Chronicles he is called both Jeconiah (1 Chron. 3:16, 17) and Jehoiachin (2 Chron. 36:9). In Esther 2:6 he is Jeconiah. In Jeconiah and Jehoiachin the two elements of the name are transposed. Both names mean “Jehovah will establish”. Coniah means “Jehovah establishes,” the sign of the future tense being cut off.
