Contextual Overview
8 Y'hoyakhin was eighteen years old when he began his reign, and he ruled in Yerushalayim for three months. His mother's name was N'chushta the daughter of Elnatan, from Yerushalayim. 9 He did what was evil from Adonai 's perspective, following the example of everything his father had done. 10 It was then that the officers of N'vukhadnetzar king of Bavel marched on Yerushalayim and laid siege to the city. 11 N'vukhadnetzar king of Bavel himself went to the city while it was under siege; 12 and Y'hoyakhin king of Y'hudah went out to meet the king of Bavel — he, his mother, and his servants, princes and officers; and the king of Bavel took him captive in the eighth year of his reign. 13 He also carried away from there all the treasures in the house of Adonai and the treasures in the royal palace. He cut in pieces all the articles of gold which Shlomo king of Isra'el had made in the temple of Adonai , as Adonai had said would happen. 14 He carried all Yerushalayim away captive — all the princes, all the bravest soldiers — 10,000 captives; also all the craftsmen and metalworkers. No one was left but the poorest people of the land. 15 Y'hoyakhin he carried off to Bavel; likewise he carried off the king's mother, the king's wives, his officers and the main leaders of the land from Yerushalayim into captivity in Bavel. 16 All the strong men — 7,000 of them, as well as 1,000 craftsmen and metalsmiths, all of them strong and trained for war — the king of Bavel brought captive to Bavel. 17 The king of Bavel made Matanyah, Y'hoyakhin's father's brother, king in place of Y'hoyakhin and changed his name to Tzidkiyahu.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the king: 2 Chronicles 36:10, 2 Chronicles 36:11, Jeremiah 37:1, Jeremiah 52:1
his father's brother: He was son of Josiah, brother to Jehoiakim, and uncle of Jehoiachin. 1 Chronicles 3:15, 1 Chronicles 3:16, 2 Chronicles 36:10
changed: The change of name was to shew Nebuchadnezzar's supremacy, and that Zedekiah was only his vassal or viceroy. The custom of changing names, we are assured by travellers, still exists in the East. 2 Kings 23:34, 2 Chronicles 36:4
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 3:14 - Josiah Jeremiah 1:3 - unto the end Jeremiah 21:1 - when Ezekiel 17:5 - the seed Ezekiel 17:13 - hath taken Daniel 1:7 - gave names

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead,.... The third son of Josiah, 1 Chronicles 3:15
and changed his name to Zedekiah; for the same reason the king of Egypt changed the name of Eliakim, 2 Kings 23:34 to signify his subjection to him; though some think it was to put him in mind of the justice of God, as the name signifies, that would overtake him, should he be treacherous to him, and rebel against him; so the Jewish Midrash.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Mattaniah, son of Josiah and brother of Jehoahaz, but thirteen years his junior, adopted a name significant of the blessings promised by Jeremiah to the reign of a king whose name should be âYahweh, our righteousnessâ Jeremiah 23:5-8.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 24:17. Made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead — He was the son of Josiah, and brother to Jehoiakim.
Changed his name to Zedekiah. — 2 Kings 23:34.
