Where Jehoiachin appears in Scripture

2 Kings 24

וַיִּשְׁכַּב יְהֽוֹיָקִים עִם-אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהֽוֹיָכִין בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃

So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

בֶּן-שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה יְהֽוֹיָכִין בְּמָלְכוֹ וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ נְחֻשְׁתָּא בַת-אֶלְנָתָן מִירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

וַיֵּצֵא יְהֽוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה עַל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל הוּא וְאִמּוֹ וַֽעֲבָדָיו וְשָׂרָיו וְסָֽרִיסָיו וַיִּקַּח אֹתוֹ מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת שְׁמֹנֶה לְמָלְכֽוֹ׃

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

וַיֶּגֶל אֶת-יְהֽוֹיָכִין בָּבֶלָה וְאֶת-אֵם הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-נְשֵׁי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-סָֽרִיסָיו וְאֵת ‫(אולי)‬ אֵילֵי הָאָרֶץ הוֹלִיךְ גּוֹלָה מִירֽוּשָׁלִַם בָּבֶֽלָה׃

And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

2 Kings 25

וַיְהִי בִשְׁלֹשִׁים וָשֶׁבַע שָׁנָה לְגָלוּת יְהֽוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה בִּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ בְּעֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁבְעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ נָשָׂא אֱוִיל מְרֹדַךְ מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת מָלְכוֹ אֶת-רֹאשׁ יְהֽוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה מִבֵּית כֶּֽלֶא׃

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

2 Chronicles 36

וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יְהֽוֹיָקִים וְתֹֽעֲבֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה וְהַנִּמְצָא עָלָיו הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְהֽוֹיָכִין בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

בֶּן-שְׁמוֹנֶה שָׁנִים יְהֽוֹיָכִין בְּמָלְכוֹ וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַֽעֲשֶׂרֶת יָמִים מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃

Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

Jeremiah 52

וַיְהִי בִשְׁלֹשִׁים וָשֶׁבַע שָׁנָה לְגָלוּת יְהוֹיָכִן מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה בִּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ בְּעֶשְׂרִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה לַחֹדֶשׁ נָשָׂא אֱוִיל מְרֹדַךְ מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת מַלְכֻתוֹ אֶת-רֹאשׁ יְהוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וַיֹּצֵא אֹתוֹ מִבֵּית ‫(הכליא)‬ הַכְּלֽוּא׃

And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
