Manasseh	reigned 55 yrs	2 Ki 21:1	2 Ch 33:1
[MANASSEH was] The only son and successor of Hezekiah on the throne of Judah. He was twelve years old when he began to reign (2 Kings 21:1), and he reigned fifty-five years (B.C. 698-643). Though he reigned so long, yet comparatively little is known of this king. His reign was a continuation of that of Ahaz, both in religion and national polity. He early fell under the influence of the heathen court circle, and his reign was characterized by a sad relapse into idolatry with all its vices, showing that the reformation under his father had been to a large extent only superficial (Isaiah 7:10; 2Kings 21:10-15). A systematic and persistent attempt was made, and all too successfully, to banish the worship of Jehovah out of the land. Amid this wide-spread idolatry there were not wanting, however, faithful prophets (Isaiah, Micah) who lifted up their voice in reproof and in warning. But their fidelity only aroused bitter hatred, and a period of cruel persecution against all the friends of the old religion began.... [Easton's Bible Dictionary]
Amon	reigned 2 yrs	2 Ki 21:19	2 Ch 33:21
[AMON] Son and successor of Manasseh in the throne of Judah ("skillful in his art", Hebrew). Possibly the name was given by Manasseh, when an idolater, from the Egyptian god. He reigned from 642 B.C. to 640 (2 Kings 21:19; 2 Chronicles 33:20). His own servants conspired and slew him in his own house, and in their turn were slain by the people, who raised his son Josiah to the throne. [Fausset's Bible Dictionary]
Josiah	reigned 31 yrs     - Passover in 18th yr Jeremiah | Habakkuk | Zephaniah	2 Ki 22:3	2 Ch 34:1 2 Ch 35:21-
[Josiah] "Healed by Jehovah", or "Jehovah will support". The son of Amon, and his successor on the throne of Judah (2 Kings 22:1; 2Chr. 34:1). His history is contained in 2 Kings 22 and 23. He stands foremost among all the kings of the line of David for unswerving loyalty to Jehovah (23:25). [Easton's Bible Dictionary]
Jehoahaz     ( Shallum)	(younger son of Josiah) reigned 3mos	2 Kings 23:30	2 Ch 36:2
[Jehoahaz] Son of Josiah; at his father's death the people took and made him king, 610 B.C., in preference to his two elder brothers, Johanan and Jehoiakim (1 Chronicles 3:15; Jeremiah 22:11; 2 Kings 23:30-31; 2 Kings 23:36; 2 Chronicles 36:2). [Fausset's Bible Dictionary]
Jehoiakim     (Eliakim)	(son of Josiah) reigned 11 yrs Jeremiah | Daniel	2 Kings 23:34	2 Ch 36:5
On the death of his father his younger brother Jehoahaz (=Shallum, Jeremiah 22:11), who favoured the Chaldeans against the Egyptians, was made king by the people; but the king of Egypt, Pharaoh-necho, invaded the land and deposed Jehoahaz (2 Kings 23:33,34; Jeremiah 22:10-12), setting ELIAKIM on the throne in his stead, and changing his name to JEHOIAKIM. [Easton's Bible Dictionary]
Jehoiachin     (Jeconiah)	(son of Jehoiakim) reigned 3mos Jeremiah | Ezekiel	2 Kings 24:6	2 Ch 36:9
JECONIAH or JEHOIACHIN. Son of Jehoiakim, last but one of Judah's kings. Shortened, by omitting JAH, into CONIAH (Jeremiah 27:20; Jeremiah 22:24). It was virtually Jehovah's declaration of ceasing all connection with him (Hosea 9:12). [Fausset's Bible Dictionary]
Zedekiah     (Mattaniah)	(son of Josiah and Hamutal) reigned 11 yrs Jeremiah	2 Kings 24:17	2 Ch 36:11
[Zedekiah was] Judah's last king, 599 to 588 B.C. Youngest son of Josiah and Hamutal (Jeremiah 1:3; Jeremiah 37:1), brother to Jehoahaz (2 Kings 24:17-18; 2 Kings 23:31). Ten years old when his father died, 21 when he mounted the throne. Originally named Mattaniah; Nebuchadnezzar changed his name to Zedekiah when he deposed Zedekiah's nephew Jehoiachin. This proves that Nebuchadnezzar treated his vassal kindly, allowing him to choose a new name (Zedekiah is Hebrew, "righteousness of Jehovah") and confirming it as a mark of his supremacy; this name was to be the pledge of his righteously keeping his covenant with Nebuchadnezzar who made him swear by God (Ezekiel 17:12-16; 2 Chronicles 36:13).
