Strong's Lexicon Yehoyakin: Jehoiachin Original Word: יְהוֹיָכִין Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Yhowyakiyn Pronunciation: yeh-ho-yaw-KEEN Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-ho-yaw-keen') Definition: Jehoiachin Meaning: Jehojakin Word Origin: Derived from יְהוֹ (Yehovah, "the LORD") and כּוּן (kun, "to establish" or "to appoint") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jehoiachin in the Septuagint, but his name appears in genealogies in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 1:11-12, where he is referred to as "Jeconiah" (Ἰεχονίας, Iechonias). Usage: The name Yehoyakin means "The LORD establishes" or "The LORD will establish." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a king of Judah who reigned during a tumultuous period in the nation's history. Cultural and Historical Background: Jehoiachin was the son of Jehoiakim and became king of Judah at the age of eighteen. His reign was short-lived, lasting only three months and ten days, as recorded in 2 Kings 24:8. During his reign, Jerusalem was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Jehoiachin surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar and was taken captive to Babylon along with his family and many of the elite of Judah. This event marked the beginning of the Babylonian exile, a significant period in Jewish history. Jehoiachin's captivity lasted for 37 years until he was released by Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon, as noted in 2 Kings 25:27-30.
