  • EST 2:5–7, engwebp

    5There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

    6who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

    7He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.

  • JER 22:24–30, engwebp

    24“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.

    25I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

    26I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.

    27But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”

    28Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?

    29O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!

    30The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”

  • JER 24:1–10, engwebp

    1The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the LORD’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

    2One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

    3Then the LORD asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.”

    4The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

    5“The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, as good.

    6For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

    7I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart.

    8“‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely the LORD says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.

    9I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.

    10I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”

  • JER 27:16–22, engwebp

    16Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, the LORD says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of the LORD’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.

    17Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation?

    18But if they are prophets, and if the LORD’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of Armies, that the vessels which are left in the LORD’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon.

    19For the LORD of Armies says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,

    20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn’t take when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—

    21yes, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in the LORD’s house, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:

    22‘They will be carried to Babylon, and there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says the LORD; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”

  • JER 28:1–4, engwebp

    1That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

    2“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

    3Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.

    4I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD; ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

  • JER 29:1–3, engwebp

    1Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,

    2(after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem),

    3by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon). It said:

  • JER 37:1–2, engwebp

    1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

    2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.

      24“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.

      25I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

      26I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.

      27But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”

      28Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?

      29O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word!

      30The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”

      1The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the LORD’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

      2One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

      3Then the LORD asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.”

      4The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

      5“The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, as good.

      6For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

      7I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart.

      8“‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely the LORD says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.

      9I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.

      10I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”

    • JER 37:1–2, engwebp

      1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

      2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.

    • JER 52:31–34, engwebp

      31In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.

      32He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

      33and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.

      34For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Matthew 1:11 records that Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, and 1 Chronicles 3:16 names Jeconiah among the sons of Jehoiakim. 2 Kings 24:6 says that Jehoiachin, Jehoiakim’s son, reigned in his place. The Korean Revised Version reads 여고냐 in 1 Chronicles and Matthew and 여호야긴 in 2 Kings, and WEB reads Jeconiah, Jechoniah and Jehoiachin. Jeremiah 22:24 calls Coniah “the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah”, and 24:1 calls Jeconiah “the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah”; 37:1 says that Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim; and 52:31 names Jehoiachin king of Judah. In these verses of Jeremiah the Korean Revised Version reads 고니야 (22:24, 22:28, 37:1), 여고냐 (24:1) and 여호야긴 (52:31), and WEB Coniah, Jeconiah and Jehoiachin. This collection records the Jeconiah of 1 Chronicles 3:16 in the same entry as Matthew’s Jechoniah, records the relationship of Josiah and Jechoniah that Matthew 1:11 gives, and records the relationship to Jehoiakim that 1 Chronicles 3:16 gives only in a list of names. It records the Coniah and Jeconiah of these verses of Jeremiah in that entry too, with no relationship from Jehoiakim, and records Jehoiachin, whose name is written otherwise, apart, with Jeremiah 52:31. Matthew gives Josiah as the father of Jechoniah, and 1 Chronicles and Jeremiah call Jeconiah and Coniah the son of Jehoiakim; the text does not say whether Jehoiachin and Jechoniah are the same man. This collection decides neither.

1 Chronicles 3:17–19 names Shealtiel, Pedaiah and others among the sons of Jeconiah, the captive, names Zerubbabel among the sons of Pedaiah, and names the sons of Zerubbabel, and Shelomith their sister. Ezra 3:2, Matthew 1:12 and Luke 3:27 make Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel. Both editions write the same name in these places (the Korean Revised Version 스룹바벨, WEB Zerubbabel). This collection records the Zerubbabel of Ezra, Matthew and Luke as one entry, the son of Shealtiel; it records the Zerubbabel of 1 Chronicles 3:19 in a list of names as the son of Pedaiah, does not link him to that entry, and gives the entry Zerubbabel no relationship to Pedaiah. The text does not say whether the Zerubbabel of 1 Chronicles 3:19 is Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and this collection does not decide it.
