The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

The reign of Jehoiachin
2 Chronicles 36:9-10
9Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the eyes of YHWH. 10At the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious utensils of the house of YHWH, and made king over Judah and Jerusalem Zedekiah his brother.
8Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9He did what was evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father had done. 10At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege. 11Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city while his servants were besieging it. 12Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother and his servants and his commanders and his officials; and the king of Babylon took him in year eight of his reign. 13He brought out from there all the treasures of the house of YHWH and the treasures of the house of the king, and he cut up all the utensils of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of YHWH, as YHWH had spoken. 14He carried into exile all Jerusalem, and all the officials, and all the mighty men of the force, ten thousand exiles, and every craftsman and smith; none remained except the poorest of the people of the land. 15He carried into exile Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his officials, and the mighty of the land; he led them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, 16and all the men of the force, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, a thousand, all of them mighty men who waged war; and the king of Babylon brought them into exile to Babylon. 17The king of Babylon made king Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
