36:9

בֶּן־שְׁמוֹנֶה שָׁנִים יְהוֹיָכִין בְּמׇלְכוֹ וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַעֲשֶׂרֶת יָמִים מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃

Yehoyakhin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for three months and ten days in Yerushalayim: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.

36:10

וְלִתְשׁוּבַת הַשָּׁנָה שָׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּר וַיְבִאֵהוּ בָבֶלָה עִם־כְּלֵי חֶמְדַּת בֵּית־יְהֹוָה וַיַּמְלֵךְ אֶת־צִדְקִיָּהוּ אָחִיו עַל־יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ {פ}

And at the return of the year, king Nevukhadneżżar sent, and brought him to Bavel, with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Żidqiyyahu his brother king over Yehuda and Yerushalayim.

Rashi

ולתשובת השנה. שהגלה יהויקים:

And at the return of the year that Jehoiakim was exiled.

עם כלי חמדת בית ה'. דברים החמודים אותם לקח והשאר הניח עד גלות צדקיהו אז לקח הכל עמו במ"ב (כד) מפורש שיצא יהויכין מלך יהודה על מלך בבל וגו':

with the precious vessels of the House of the Lord the desirable things. Those he took, and the rest he left until the exile of Zedekiah. Then he took everything with him. And in II Kings (24:12), it is explained that “Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, came out to the king of Babylonia, etc.”

וימלך את צדקיהו אחיו. אחיו של יהויקים וכן (במלכים שם) וימלך מלך בבל את מתניה דודו תחתיו ויסב את שמו צדקיהו דודו של יהויכין:

and he made Zedekiah his brother king Jehoiakim’s brother, and so in II Kings (24:17), “And the king of Babylonia crowned Mattaniah his uncle in his stead and changed his name to Zedekiah,” Jehoiachin’s uncle.
