| 17 | The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, [Jehoiachin`s] father`s brother, king is his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. | 2Ch 36:10 2Ch 36:11 Jer 37:1 Jer 52:1 |
| 18 | Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. | 2Ch 36:11 Jer 37:1 Jer 52:1-11 |
