Footnotes

9 Or “temple.”
10 Heb “in Babylon.” Repeating the proper name “Babylon” here would be redundant in contemporary English, so “there” has been used in the translation.
11 Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jehoiakim, and his horrible deeds which he did and that which was found against him, look, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah.”
12 The Hebrew text reads “eight,” but some ancient textual witnesses, as well as the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:8, have “eighteen.”
13 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
14 Heb “in the eyes of.”
15 Heb “sent and brought him.”
16 Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” ( “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
