In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah Jehoiakim was the son of Josiah, a king known for his reforms and return to the worship of Yahweh. Jehoiakim's reign, however, was marked by a return to idolatry and disobedience to God. The "third year" refers to approximately 605 BC, a time of significant political upheaval in the ancient Near East. This period is crucial as it marks the beginning of the Babylonian captivity, a pivotal event in Jewish history. The reign of Jehoiakim is documented in 2 Kings 23:36-24:7 and 2 Chronicles 36:5-8, where his actions and the consequences for Judah are detailed.

Siege of Jerusalem A significant event where Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem, leading to the eventual exile of many Jews to Babylon. This marked the beginning of a period of great trial and transformation for the Jewish people. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in HistoryThe events of Daniel 1:1 remind us that God is in control of history. Despite the apparent chaos and defeat, God's purposes are being fulfilled. Consequences of Disobedience Jehoiakim's reign and the subsequent siege of Jerusalem illustrate the serious consequences of turning away from God's commands. It serves as a warning to remain faithful and obedient. Faithfulness in Exile The beginning of the Babylonian exile sets the stage for Daniel's account of faithfulness. Even in difficult circumstances, we are called to remain true to our beliefs. Preparation for Trials Understanding the historical context of Daniel 1:1 encourages us to prepare spiritually for trials, knowing that God can use them for His purposes. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Daniel 1How could four young captives learn and excel in “all wisdom and knowledge” (Daniel 1:17) beyond experienced Babylonian scholars? How does Daniel 1:1 align with historical records that place Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem at a different time? What are the main themes in the Book of Daniel? Was Daniel considered a eunuch in the Bible?(1) In the third year.--Two questions are involved in this verse. (1) Is it historically true that Jerusalem was taken by Nebuchadnezzar in the third year of Jehoiakim's reign? (2) Does the language of the verse imply that he did so? The second question is rightly answered in the negative. The word came means went, as Genesis 45:17; 2Kings 5:5, and it is the natural word for a Hebrew to use who wrote from Babylon, and may be translated marched. It is therefore implied in this verse that Nebuchadnezzar started from Babylon in the third year of Jehoiakim. The rest of the history is easily supplied from other portions of Scripture. In the fourth year of Jehoiakim he conquered Pharaoh at Carchemish (Jeremiah 46:2), and then advanced upon Jerusalem. (See marginal reference.) The name Nebuchadnezzar is sometimes more correctly spelt Nebuchadrezzar, but no argument can be based upon the different modes of spelling the name, as the difficulties of transliteration of Babylonian names into Hebrew characters are considerable.Verse 1. - In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim King of Judah.
