SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:18
De veintiún años era Sedequías cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalén once años. El nombre de su madre fue Hamutal hija de Jeremías, de Libna.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18-20. Zedekiah was twenty years old when he began to reign , etc.] So that he was but between nine and ten years of age when his father Josiah died; for Jehoahaz reigned three months, Jehoiakim eleven years, and his son three months and ten days: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah ; by which it appears that he was the brother of Jehoahaz by father and mother’s side, ( 2 Kings 23:31). This and the two following verses are expressed in the same words as in ( Jeremiah 52:1-3), (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 52:1”), (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 52:2”), (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 52:3”), in ( 2 Chronicles 36:10,13), besides what is here said, is written, that he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet of the Lord, that spoke in his name, but opposed him; and rebelling against the king of Babylon, broke his oath, and hardened his neck and heart against the Lord, and was obstinate, stubborn, and self-willed.

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-20 - Jehoiachin reigned but three months, yet long enough to show that he justly smarted for his fathers' sins, for he trod in their steps. Hi uncle was intrusted with the government. This Zedekiah was the last of the kings of Judah. Though the judgments of God upon the three king before him might have warned him, he did that which was evil, lik them. When those intrusted with the counsels of a nation act unwisely and against their true interest, we ought to notice the displeasure of God in it. It is for the sins of a people that God hides from them the things that belong to the public peace. And in fulfilling the secre purposes of his justice, the Lord needs only leave men to the blindnes of their own minds, or to the lusts of their own hearts. The gradua approach of Divine judgments affords sinners space for repentance, an believers leisure to prepare for meeting the calamity, while it show the obstinacy of those who will not forsake their sins __________________________________________________________________
