      (Rom. 16:21), and accompanied him from Thessalonica to Corinth.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jehoiachin
      succeeded his father Jehoiakin (B.C. 599) when only eight years
      of age, and reigned for one hundred days (2 Chr. 36:9). He is
      also called Jeconiah (Jer. 24:1; 27:20, etc.), and Coniah
      (22:24; 37:1). He was succeeded by his uncle, Mattaniah =
      Zedekiah (q.v.). He was the last direct heir to the Jewish
      crown. He was carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar,
      along with the flower of the nobility, all the leading men in
      Jerusalem, and a great body of the general population, some
      thirteen thousand in all (2 Kings 24:12-16; Jer. 52:28). After
      an imprisonment of thirty-seven years (Jer. 52:31, 33), he was
      liberated by Evil-merodach, and permitted to occupy a place in
      the king's household and sit at his table, receiving "every day
      a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life"
      (52:32-34).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jehoiakim
      he whom Jehovah has set up, the second son of Josiah, and
      eighteenth king of Judah, which he ruled over for eleven years
      (B.C. 610-599). His original name was Eliakim (q.v.).
     
         On the death of his father his younger brother Jehoahaz
      (=Shallum, Jer. 22:11), who favoured the Chaldeans against the
      Egyptians, was made king by the people; but the king of Egypt,
      Pharaoh-necho, invaded the land and deposed Jehoahaz (2 Kings
      23:33, 34; Jer. 22:10-12), setting Eliakim on the throne in his
      stead, and changing his name to Jehoiakim.
     
         After this the king of Egypt took no part in Jewish politics,
      having been defeated by the Chaldeans at Carchemish (2 Kings
      24:7; Jer. 46:2). Palestine was now invaded and conquered by
      Nebuchadnezzar. Jehoiakim was taken prisoner and carried captive
      to Babylon (2 Chr. 36:6, 7). It was at this time that Daniel
      also and his three companions were taken captive to Babylon
      (Dan. 1:1, 2).
     
         Nebuchadnezzar reinstated Jehoiakim on his throne, but treated
      him as a vassal king. In the year after this, Jeremiah caused
      his prophecies to be read by Baruch in the court of the temple.
      Jehoiakim, hearing of this, had them also read in the royal
      palace before himself. The words displeased him, and taking the
      roll from the hands of Baruch he cut it in pieces and threw it
      into the fire (Jer. 36:23). During his disastrous reign there
      was a return to the old idolatry and corruption of the days of
      Manasseh.
     
         After three years of subjection to Babylon, Jehoiakim withheld
      his tribute and threw off the yoke (2 Kings 24:1), hoping to
      make himself independent. Nebuchadnezzar sent bands of
      Chaldeans, Syrians, and Ammonites (2 Kings 24:2) to chastise his
      rebellious vassal. They cruelly harassed the whole country
      (comp. Jer. 49:1-6). The king came to a violent death, and his
      body having been thrown over the wall of Jerusalem, to convince
      the beseieging army that he was dead, after having been dragged
      away, was buried beyond the gates of Jerusalem "with the burial
      of an ass," B.C. 599 (Jer. 22:18, 19; 36:30). Nebuchadnezzar
      placed his son Jehoiachin on the throne, wishing still to retain
      the kingdom of Judah as tributary to him.
