2 Kings 24:8-9 English Standard Version Jehoiachin Reigns in Judah 8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9 And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. Short passage today, but that's because there isn't much to say about this king. Jehoiachin became king when he was 18 years old and only reigned for three months (before Jerusalem falls, but we'll read about that next time). It shouldn't surprise us as things have been going from bad to worse that Jehoichin followed in the footsteps of his father and did evil in the sight of the LORD. We'll see the ultimate consequences of that next time.
