Question 47 - What was his age? How long did he reign?

2 Chronicles 36:9 NKJV - "Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD."
2 Kings 24:8 NKJV - "Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem."
Answer:
                Eight years is the fault of the scribe in the transmission.
                In this, the correct one is 18 years.

                It is determined from the Holy Bible (Jerusalem) by the scholars.
