Contradiction with Jeremiah 52:31
This verse notes the 37th year of Jehoiachin’s captivity, potentially confusing for context on timing without Ezekiel’s specification of the 5th year.
Jeremiah 52:31: And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
Contradiction with 2 Kings 24:12
Records Jehoiachin’s captivity but focuses on a different time event, which might confuse timeline understanding without clarifying Ezekiel's specific dating.
2 Kings 24:12: And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. [officers: or, eunuchs] [his reign: Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year]
Contradiction with Daniel 1:1
Provides a context of captivity during Jehoiakim’s reign, not Jehoiachin’s, potentially leading to confusion without proper cross-referencing.
Daniel 1:1: In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
