STRONGS G2423:
Ἰεχονίας,
-ου,
ὁ, (
יְהויָכִין Jehoiakin,
i. e. whom Jehovah appointed;
Sept. Ἰωαχίν [(?) see
B. D. American edition uner the word, Jehoiachin]),
Jechoniah, king of Judah, carried off into exile by Nebuchadnezzar [circa]
B. C. 600 after a reign of three months,
2 Kings 24:8-17;
2 Chronicles 36:9;
Jeremiah 52:31. He is mentioned in
Matthew 1:11f. But he was not, as is there stated, the son of Josiah, but of Jehoiakim; nor did he have 'brethren,' but his father had them. Accordingly, in the Evangelist's geneaology the names
יְהויָקִים and
יְהויָכִין have been confounded; [cf.
B. D. as above, and references there].
