Bryan Windle has joined us again to do another one of his archaeological biographies. Today we’ll be talking about Jehoiachin, King of Judah. Some of the Hebrew kings had very long reigns, such as King Uzziah who ruled for 54 years; others, such like Jehoiachin, ruled for a very short time. King Jehoiachin became king of Judah upon his father’s death, but only reigned for three months in 597 BC.
