Contextual Overview
8 Yehoiakim was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Yerushalayim three months: and his mother's name was Nechushta the daughter of Elnatan of Yerushalayim. 9 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. 10 At that time the servants of Nevukhadnetztzar king of Bavel came up to Yerushalayim, and the city was besieged. 11 Nevukhadnetztzar king of Bavel came to the city, while his servants were besieging it; 12 and Yehoiakim the king of Yehudah went out to the king of Bavel, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Bavel took him in the eighth year of his reign. 13 He carried out there all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Shlomo king of Yisra'el had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said. 14 He carried away all Yerushalayim, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land. 15 He carried away Yehoiakim to Bavel; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Yerushalayim to Bavel. 16 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Bavel brought captive to Bavel. 17 The king of Bavel made Mattanyah, [Yehoiakim's] father's brother, king is his place, 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.
