The verse mentions "Zedekiah his son," which can be confusing since the famous King Zedekiah was Jeconiah's uncle, not his son. Commentators clarify that this is likely a different, lesser-known Zedekiah. Scholars suggest Jeconiah may have had a son named after his famous great-uncle, but this son never reigned and is therefore not mentioned in the historical books like Kings. This resolves the apparent contradiction.
