    The Noun · Proper form identifies the same royal figure across succession, reign, captivity, and release. In 2 Kings 24:6 the APB renders the clause that he reigned in his father's place; in 2 Kings 24:12 and 2 Kings 24:15 it renders his going out to the king of Babylon and his deportation to Babylon; in 2 Kings 25:27 and Jeremiah 52:31 it places his captivity and removal from the prison house in view.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term as the personal name “Jehoiachin” in royal, captivity, deportation, and prison-release clauses. These renderings confirm the named figure in each verse rather than supplying a separate lexical nuance.
