  • Notes 
    • King of Judah 598 BC
      Jechonias and his brothern were born about the time the Jews were carried away into Babylon.
      1st Chapter of Matthew

      The Babylonians beseiged Jerusalem’s walls in 598/7BC. At some point King Jehoiakin decided to surrunder, and packed his bags, and gathered together the royal family, including the queen-mother, Nehushta, and in an entourage of ministers and servants rode out of met the Babylonian Emperor Nebuchadnezzar, who took him and his entourage captive to Babylon, where they lived in comfortable confinement, occupied Jerusalem, and sat his uncle Zedekiah on the throne, and Judah now became a Babylonian vassal-state.
      Jeconiah who was still regarded by the Jewish Exiles as their king, is numbered the first exilarch
