2 | Eight or Eighteen when Jehoiachin reign | 2 Chr 29:6 | Ray | 75837 | ||
Hi jlpangilinan, I hope that this discrepancy does not affect your faith in the truthfullness of the Scriptures. It isn't exactly a question that will have any bearing on one's salvation. :) When I compare the verses here I look for what I can learn about God and our relationship with Him. I found that Jehoiachin "did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord". I think that that fact is more important than how old he was when he started to reign. I thought that it was interesting in comparing the passages that the temple, the house of the Lord is important. 2 Chronicles 36:7, "Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of the Lord/ to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon....9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months AND TEN DAYS in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord." It goes on and talks about the defilement of the house of the Lord/ which He had sanctified in Jerusalem. Contrast/compare that with 2 Chron 29:3 where the doors of the house of the Lord/ were repaired and the Levites consecrated themselves and consecrated the house of the Lord... Contrast/compare 2 Kings 24:13 where the vessels of gold were cut in pieces "which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord,/ just as the Lord had said." The slashes are mine for comparison; but what I am trying to say is that we should gain from the study of God's word more than dates and times. I say that as stating a general rule rather than a finding fault with your question. From the heart, Ray |

Jamieson, Fausset, Brown says the following: "8. Jehoiachin--that is, "God-appointed," contracted into Jeconiah and Coniah (Jeremiah 22:24). eighteen years old when he began to reign--At the age of eight his father (Jehoiakim)took him into partnership in the government (2 Chronicles 36:9). He began to reign alone at eighteen." |
