Strange as such an arrangement at sight appears, it is one of the inevitable results of polygamy. An illustration of the queen-mother’s influence is given in (Kings:2:19) ff. The term is applied to Maachah, (Kings:15:13; kjv@2Chronicles:16:16) and to Jezetiel, ( kjv@2Kings:10:13) and to the mother of Jehoiachin or Jeconiah, kjv@Jeremiah:13:18) compare 2Kin 24:12; Jere 29:2
