Notes

2 Chronicles 36:9–10

The Chronicler focuses on Jehoiachin’s brief reign by mentioning his exile and the tribute paid from the temple instruments. The Babylonian Chronicle describes Jehoiachin's capture: “In the seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar, during the month of Kislev, the king of Akkad gathered his troops, marched to the land west of the Jordan, and set up camp against the city of Judah. On the second day of the month of Adar, he seized the city and captured the king.” Jehoiachin was taken captive on March 16, 597 BC and brought to Babylon about a month later.
Jehoiachin remained a captive in Babylon for thirty-seven years (see 2 Kings 25:27; Jeremiah 52:31).
