Jeconiah was the nineteenth king of Judah, son of Jehoiakim and grandson of Josiah. In the 6th century BCE, Nebuchadnezzar II dethroned him and hauled him to Babylon as a captive. He was the penultimate king - one ruler short of the end. Most of what survives comes from the Hebrew Bible, but his existence left a material trace: tablets excavated near Babylon's Ishtar Gate, dated around 592 BCE, list him and his five sons by name in Akkadian cuneiform as recipients of food rations. The archaeological record remembers him not as a monarch but as a man who had to eat.
