Jeremiah37:1
1 AND king * Zedekiah the son of the Josiah , reigned in stead of Coniah the son of Jehojakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah .
The History of this Succession we have 2 Kings 24.1[illegible: 1 letter]. 2 Chron. 36.10. Zedekiah's name was Mattaniah, the King of Babylon changed his name to Zedekiah.
He reigned in stead of Iehojachin, the son of Iehojachim who reigned but 3 moneths, 2 Kings 24.8. his name was Ieconiah, 1 Chron. 3.16. and in a way of derision, or contempt is here called Coniah,
The King of Babylon made this Zedekiah King, who is here called the son of Iosiah, and 2 Kings 24.17. Iehojakim's Fathers Brother, to distinguish him from another Zedekiah son of Iehojachim, as appears from 1 Chron. 3.16.
