Jehoiachin and his Oracle

A Jeremianic Scribal Framework for the End of the Deuteronomistic History

By Melvin L. Sensenig

Series: Perspectives on Hebrew Scriptures and its Contexts 31

ISBN: 978-1-4632-4043-1

King Jehoiachin, the last Judahite king exiled to Babylon, became the focus of conflicting hopes and fears about a revived Davidic kingship after the exile. As Sensenig demonstrates, this conflict stemmed from a drastic oracle from Jeremiah that seemed to categorically reject Jehoiachin, while the canon records that he not only survived but thrived in exile.
