8 Yehoyakin was eighteen when he became king, but he reigned from Yerushalem for only three months. 9 He did what Yahweh had said was evil just like his father had done.
10 At that time, the Babylonian king Nevukadnetstsar sent his army to besiege Yerushalem, 11 and Nevukadnetstsar himself travelled there to observe the operation. 12 Yehudah’s King Yehoyakin went out to surrender to the Babylonian king, along with his mother, his servants, his captains, and his officials. So the Babylonian king took him captive in the eighth year of his reign. 13 
Then all the valuables were brought out of Yahweh’s temple and the palace. All the gold furnishings that had been made for the temple by King Shelomoh were cut into pieces. 14 Then all the army leaders and officials, and all the craftsmen and blacksmiths from Yerushalem (some ten thousand people) were taken into exile, leaving only the poorer people behind.
15 King Yehoyakin was exiled from Yerushalem to Babylon, along with his mother and wives, his officials, 16 seven thousand top soldiers, and a thousand skilled craftsmen and blacksmiths—leaving no one behind to fight or make weapons.
17 Then the Babylonian king appointed Yehoyakin’s uncle Mattanyah as king in his place and he changed his name to Tsidkiyah (Zedekiah).
9 Yehoyakin was eighteen[fn] when he became king, and he reigned from Yerushalem for just ten days. He did many things that Yahweh had said were evil. 10 At the beginning of the next year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent soldiers to bring him to Babylon, bringing valuable items from the temple, and he made his younger brother Tsidkiyah king over Yehudah and Yerushalem.[ref]
36:9 Using 2 Kings 24:8 to (hopefully) correct the Hebrew here which has ‘eight’.
Jer 22:24-30:
24 Yahweh declares by his life:
Even if you, Yehoyakin (Jehoiachin),[fn] son of Yehudah’s King Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim), were the signet ring on my right hand, I would tear you off[ref] 25 because I’m handing you over to the ones who are wanting to kill you and to those that you’re afraid of—to Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar and his men. (Heb. The Kasdi = Chaldeans) 26 I’ll hurl you and your mother who bore you, into another land—a country where you’re both foreigners and you’ll both die there. 27 Although they’ll long to return to this land, they’ll never return here.
28 Is this man Yehoyakin a despised, shattered pot—
≈ a jar that no one wants
Why will before hurled out along with his descendants,
and thrown into a country that they’re not familiar with?
29 Land, land, land, Listen to Yahweh’s message.
Record this man as being childless—
a man who won’t prosper in his lifetime.
None of his descendants will prosper
22:24 Called ‘Shallum’ here in the Hebrew and in verse 28.
24:1-10:
After the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar had carried away Yehoyakin (Jehoiakim, Heb. Yekonyah = Jeconiah), son of Yehudah’s King Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim), as well as Yehudah’s officials and Yerushalem’s craftsmen and metalsmiths, and had taken them to Babylon, Yahweh showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of his temple.[ref] 2 One basket of figs was very good like early, ripe figs, but the figs in the other basket were so bad that they weren’t edible. 3 Then Yahweh asked me, “Yirmeyah, what do you see?”
“Figs,” I replied. “Some figs that look very good, and others that are so bad they’re inedible.”
4 Then Yahweh gave me this message: 5 Yisrael’s god, Yahweh, says this: I’ll look favourably at the exiles from Yehudah just like those good figs, the exiles that I’ve sent out from this place to Babylonia. 6 I’ll give them my favour and restore them to this land. I’ll build them up, and not tear them down. I’ll plant them, and not uproot them. 7 Then I will give them a desire to know me, because I’m Yahweh. They’ll be my people and I will be their god, so they will turn to me wholeheartedly.
8 But Yahweh declares that just like those bad figs that are inedible will be discarded, I’ll act in that same way towards Yehudah’s King Zedekiah, along with his officials and the rest of Yerushalem who remain in this land or go to stay in the land of Egypt. 9 I’ll turn them into something horrifying—a disaster, right there in the sight of all the world’s kingdoms—a disgrace and a subject for proverbs, taunts, and curses in every place that I’ll drive them into. 10 I’ll send armies, famine, and disease against them until they’re destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their ancestors.
29:1-2:
The prophet Yirmeyah sent a letter from Yerushalem to the remainder of the elders of the exile, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people that Nebuchadnezzar had exiled from Yerushalem to Babylon[ref] 2 after the removal from Yerushalem of King Yekonyah (Jeconiah) and the queen mother, the court officials and the leaders of Yehudah and Yerushalem, plus the craftsmen and the metalsmiths.
Eze 17:12:
12 “Ask those rebellious people, ‘Don’t you know what those things mean? Listen, the king of Babylon came to Yerushalem and captured its king and its princes and took them with him to Babylon.[ref]
Jer 37:1:
By now Yoshiyah’s son Tsidkiyah (Zedekiah) reigned as king instead of Yehoyakim’s son Yehoyakin. The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar had made Tsidkiyah king over the Yehudah region.[ref]
Eze 17:13:
13 Then he took a member of the royal family, made an agreement with him—forcing him to make various commitments. Then he took away the country’s former powerful people,
