☩Identity
Malchiram was the second son of King Jehoiachin, born during his captivity in Babylon after 598 BC. Jewish tradition records that his mother was Susannah. His name means 'king of height' or 'uplifted king,' though ironically he was born to a deposed monarch living in exile. He appears to have been without descendants, as no lineage is recorded for him in the genealogies of David's house.
