📚 Historical Context
Jeconiah (also called Jehoiachin) was the last king of Judah before the Babylonian exile around 597 BC. He was taken captive to Babylon after reigning only three months, and his sons were born in exile. This genealogy was crucial for the Jews to maintain their tribal identities and royal succession during and after their time in captivity.
