Explanation preview
This verse introduces Jehoiachin, who took the throne of Judah at eighteen after the death of his father Jehoiakim, and reigned only three months before Babylon besieged Jerusalem. The notice of his mother, Nehushta, is typical of the court records the narrator draws on, and it matters because she is later named among those taken into exile.
