Note on Husband: Jeconiah
King Jeconiah (Yehoakhin, Jechoniah) called "the captive" (b. 598 B.C.E., ruled Judah 3 months 597 B.C.E., d. 561 B.C.E.) married Tamar, his cousin, her second marriage, the daughter of the late crown-prince, Johanan, his uncle, and begot Zedekiah, the crown-prince. The early death of the crown-prince was the fulfillment of “Coniah’s Curse”, placed on King [Je]Coniah’s off-spring by Jeremiah “The Prophet”.
The king adopted his step-sons, the sons of his wife, Tamar, by a previous marriage since they too were of the “royal seed”, that is, her first husband was a Davidic prince. They are: Shealtiel (Salathiel), who became the new crown-prince, Malchiram, Pedaiah (Phadaia) [note: some have made him into Shealtiel’s son], Shenazzur (Sin-ab-Usur), Jekamiah (Yekamia), Hoshama (Hochama), Nedabiah, father of Shemphat (S[u]mbat), the ancestor of the Bagratids (Bagratuni) of The Caucasus.1
