"Jehoiachin"

Jehoiachin “God will Establish” (597 BCE)
Came to throne just as Nebuchadnezzer arrived at Jerusalem, after a three-month siege was taken captive to Babylon. Judah kept hoping for his return. After 37 years in prison, he was freed, but never returned to Jerusalem (2 Kings 24:6-17; 25:27-30; 2 Chronicles 36:8-9; Est. 2:6; Jeremiah 24:1; 52:31-34).
