Bible Question:
In 2Ch 36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. but in the book of King 24:8 Ki 24:8 ΒΆ Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. what is the true Jehoiachin was eight years old when began to reign, or eighteen years old. God bless, |
Bible Answer: I have seen the other answer posted and I believe it is basically correct. However, I would like to elaborate. Jehoiachin was probably anointed King at age eight, but under a regent of some sort. Then, at age eighteen, he was anointed King in his own right. You can see an example of multiple anointings by studying King David. He was anointed King three separate times. First time - 1 Samuel 16:13 Second time - 2 Samuel 2:4 Third time - 2 Samuel 5:3 I hope this sets your mind at rest regarding this particular "contradiction". -Chris |
