King of Judah (also called Jehoiachin) deported to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in the first wave of exile; his deportation is the historical backdrop for Jeremiah's vision of the two baskets of figs
King of Judah who reigned briefly before Nebuchadnezzar deported him to Babylon in 597 BC, marking the first major wave of the exile. His removal from Jerusalem is the historical backdrop for Jeremiah's vision of the two baskets of figs (Jeremiah 24) and is recorded in 2 Kings 24 — also appears in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus, linking the royal Davidic line through the exile to the birth of Christ.
