Jehoiachin (Hebrew יְהֹויָכִין, YHWH has established) or Jeconiah (Hebrew יְכָנְיָה‎, YHWH shall fortify, or Greek Ἰεχονίας) or Coniah (617 BC-vr. 609 BC?-r. 599-599 BC- d. 560 BC according to Ussher, or 615 BC-vr. 607 BC?-r. 597-597 BC-d. ca. 560 BC according to Thiele) was the eighteenth king of the Southern Kingdom of Israel. His reign was short and, by at least one account, ugly and tragic.
