Document Details : Title: Yoyaqim, «the bad king», et son fils Yoyachin dans le livre de Jérémie Author(s): EBACH, Ruth Journal: Semitica Volume: 65 Date: 2023 Pages: 411-432 DOI: 10.2143/SE.65.0.3293128 Abstract : King Jehoiakim is presented in the Book of Jeremiah in explicit and implicit comparison with other kings, always serving as the negative example. His behavior has intergenerational consequences, so the lack of descendants on the throne is announced to him in Jer 36 and differently than often interpreted also in the word of the signet ring in Jer 22,24-30. Even if there are sympathies for Jehoiachin, his father has squandered the future of this dynastic line. The Book of Jeremiah bypasses Jehoiachin in several respects in its historical narrative. A dynastic continuation is only possible through Zedekiah. |
