How does the latest translation of Kings 24:12 in the Common English Bible change our views on the date of Jerusalem's destruction?
by Bart Belteshassur inthe last clause of verse 12, kings 24 has always appeared to me to be somewhat ambiguous,.
"and the king of babylon got to take him (jehoiachin) in the eighth year of his being king.
" this has lead to the genneral connection of nebuchadnezzar's eighth year to the start of zedekiah's rule and thus to the equating of nebuchadnezzar's nineteenth year with zedekiah's eleventh.. the ceb reads, " the babylonian king took jehoiachin prisoner in the eighth year of jehoiachin's rule.".
