ULB Jer 37:1 currently reads:

\v 1 Now Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made Zedekiah king over the land of Judah.

ULB Jer 37:1 suggested changes:

\v 1 Zedekiah son of Josiah was made king by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; He reigned in place of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim.

Following the NIV was much easier to understand.

"Now" vs Ø
Some versions have it. (NASB, NKJV, Douay-Rheims)
ULB is adequate**

"reigned as king instead of" of "reigned in place of"
"Reigned as king" is adequate.
Change "instead of" to "in place of" since Jehoiachin reigned before him.

"Zedekiah reigned ... Nebuchadnezzar" vs "Zedekiah son of Josiah was made king by Nebuchadnezzar ... He reigned"
ULB is adequate

My Suggestion:

\v 1 Now Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned as king in place of of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made Zedekiah king over the land of Judah.
