Biblical and rabbinic[edit]
Exilarchs listed in the Second Book of Kings, the Books of Chronicles and in the Seder Olam Zutta, some possibly legendary, are:
Jeconiah or Jehoiachin, according to the chronology of the exilarchate, the last of the Davidic kings of Judah.[2] After a reign of only three months and ten days, Jeconiah's reign came to an end by Babylonian intervention, and Jeconiah and the elite of Judah were taken into Babylonian exile in 597 BCE as part of the first deportation,[3] Jeconiah continued to be regarded as the legitimate king of Judah by the Jews in Babylon. His family line was followed by subsequent exilarchs. Cuneiform records dated to 592 BCE mention Jeconiah ("Ia-'-ú-kinu") and his five sons as recipients of food rations in Babylon.[4] In any event, all the sons of Jehoiachin's successor on the throne of Judah, Zedekiah, were killed by Nebuchadrezzar II after the fall of Jerusalem and destruction of the Temple in 586 BCE. (2 Kings 25:7)
