Commentary for Keritot 10:42

אמר מר

- He [Zedekiah] is called 'the third', because he was the third among the sons, and he is called 'the fourth', because he was the fourth to reign, for Jeconiah reigned before him: Jehoahaz was the first successor, then followed Jehoiakim, then Jeconiah and then Zedekiah.
