But is it not written,²⁹1Chr. 3:15. the third Sedekiah, the fourth Shallum? Sedekiah, the third in birth, the fourth in kingdom. Sedekiah, because he accepted the judgment on himself, Shallum, because in his days the dynasty of David was completed. ³⁰In B this is a statement by R. Simeon ben Laqish, disputing R. Joḥanan’s. His name was neither Shallum nor Sedekiah but Mattaniah. That is what is written³¹2K. 24:17.: The king of Babylon made his uncle Mattaniah³²B’s reading מתתיה probably is a scribal error, not a different reading in the verse. king in his stead and changed his name into Sedekiah.

Rebbi Joḥanan said, Joḥanan is Joaḥaz. But is it not written: The first born Joḥanan¹²²1Chr. 3:15., the first in kingdom. ¹²³There the introduction is missing, that R. Joḥanan identified Sedekiah and Shallum as one and the same person. In the Babli 11b this and the following are a tannaitic statement.The third Sedekiah, the fourth Shallum? Sedekiah, because he accepted the judgment on himself, Shallum, because in his days the dynasty of David was completed. ¹²⁴In the Šeqalim text of the Babli editio princeps the statement is attributed to R. Simeon ben Laqish. His name was neither Shallum nor Sedekiah but Mattaniah. That is what is written: The king of Babylon made his uncle Mattaniah king in his stead¹²⁵2K. 24:17. etc.

His name was neither Shallum nor Sedekiah but Mattaniah. That is what is written⁹²1K 24:17.: “The king of Babylon made his uncle Mattaniah king in his stead and changed the latter’s name to Sedekiah.”
