2 Chronicles 36:10

At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought ¹  to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative ²  Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

2Ki 24:10-17; 2Ki 24:17; 2Ki 25:27-30; 1Ch 3:15,16; 2Ch 36:7; Jer 27:18-22; Jer 29:2; Jer 37:1; Eze 1:2; Da 1:1,2; Da 5:2,23

¹ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

² tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
