Biography

About

Born Eliakim around 632 BC, the second son of King Josiah and Zebidah, daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah, he wasn't raised expecting the crown. He became the eighteenth king of Judah in 609 BC and ruled until 598 BC, occupying the throne during the kingdom's penultimate generation. His reign placed him third from the end of Judah's line of kings, a span that would close within a decade of his death. He died in 598 BC, leaving a kingdom already in the shadow of collapse.
