Jeconiah

Jeconiah, the man who was king when he with the remnant of Jerusalem had all been taken to Babylon, he was cursed.

In Jeremiah 22:28 we read: “Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not? 29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. 30 Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.”

While the sons of Jeconiah obviously survived to return to Judaea, none of them ever ruled again. The Maccabees were Levites, a family of the high priests, who became the civil rulers of the nation until they were usurped by Herod and his Edomite kin.
