Jehoiachin — king of Judah exiled to Babylon in 597 BCE; also called Coniah and Jeconiah
The name יְהוֹיָכִין (Yehoyakhin), meaning 'YHWH establishes,' designates the penultimate king of Judah who reigned only three months before being deported to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BCE (2 Kgs 24:6-15). He is also known as Coniah (Jer 22:24, 28) and Jeconiah (Jer 24:1; 1 Chr 3:16-17). The final chapter of 2 Kings records his remarkable release from prison by Evil-merodach in the thirty-seventh year of his exile, when he was given a seat of honor at the Babylonian king's table (2 Kgs 25:27-30) — a conclusion that preserves a fragile thread of Davidic hope. The Babylonian Ration Tablets independently confirm his captivity and provisioning.

Yehoyakhin / Jehoiachin (proper name) — A proper name meaning 'YHWH establishes,' borne by the son and successor of Jehoiakim who reigned in Jerusalem for three months at age eighteen before surrendering to Nebuchadnezzar in 597 BCE (2 Kgs 24:6-12, 15).

Also called Coniah (כָּנְיָהוּ, Jer 22:24) and Jeconiah (יְכָנְיָהוּ, 1 Chr 3:16). Spanish 'Joaquín' and French 'Jojakin' reflect standard transliteration traditions. 10×
