列王纪下 24:15 CUVS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:1-20

Pharaoh was not able to maintain his dominance over Judah, however, not that Judah was able to break it, but because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon displaced Pharaoh and took his place in making Jehoiakim his servant (v.24). For three years Jehoiakim remained subject to Nebuchadnezzar, then rebelled (v.1), not because of faith in the living God, but because he would not bow to the governmental results of his sin. Since Jehoiakim decided that he would not bow to the governmental results of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 24:1-20

THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY THE LAST OF THE KINGS (2 Kings 24:0 ) In the previous lesson we left Judah tributary to Egypt, which had been victorious at Megiddo. This lasted five years, when Babylon, now master of her old-time enemy Assyria, and eager to cross swords with Egypt for world-supremacy, came up against her, and compelled allegiance. After three years Jehoiakim revolted (2 Kings 24:1 ), and for the remainder of his reign was harassed by bands of enemies (2 Kings 24:2 ) perhaps... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 24:1-20

2 Kings 24:0 1. In his days [605 b.c.] Nebuchadnezzar king [at this time Crown Prince] of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. [Nebuchadnezzar, son of Nabopolassar, and second monarch of the Babylonian Empire, ascended the throne 604 b.c., and reigned forty-three years, dying 561 b.c. He is acknowledged to be the most celebrated of all the Babylonian sovereigns. No other heathen king occupies so much space in Scripture. It would... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 24:8-16

This may be really considered the close of the kingdom of Israel and Judah. For though there was a nominal king after Jehoiachim, yet as the king of Babylon made him king, he might be considered more as the creature of the king of Babylon, than possessing any kingly power. Here therefore we have the conquest of Jerusalem and the captivity of the people. Besides the multitude which the conqueror carried away to Babylon, we find from other parts of scripture an account of several remarkable... read more

Judges. Hebrew, "the rams." Chaldean, "the grandees." These are not included in the 10,000, (ver. 14.) nor more than (Calmet) the 8,000 who were taken from the country (ver. 16.; Calmet) or 3,000 were taken from Jerusalem, and 7,000 from other places. (Du Hamel) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:8-20

8-20 Jehoiachin reigned but three months, yet long enough to show that he justly smarted for his fathers' sins, for he trod in their steps. His uncle was intrusted with the government. This Zedekiah was the last of the kings of Judah. Though the judgments of God upon the three kings before him might have warned him, he did that which was evil, like them. When those intrusted with the counsels of a nation act unwisely, and against their true interest, we ought to notice the displeasure of God in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Kings 24:8-16

The Reign of Jehoiachin v. 8. Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His name is also given as Jeconiah, 1 Chronicles 3:16; Jeremiah 24:1, and as Coniah, Jeremiah 22:24-Hosea :. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem, Elnathan having been one of the chief officers at court, Jeremiah 26:22; Jeremiah 36:12-Lamentations :. v. 9. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 24:10-20

the Captivity Begins 2 Kings 24:10-20 Jehoiachin followed the evil path of his predecessors. Again Jerusalem was besieged and Deuteronomy 28:48 began to be fulfilled. The ill-advised revolt of the young king ended in bitter disappointment, as Jeremiah had foretold, Jeremiah 22:24-25 ; and the final tragedy came on apace, in spite of the insistence of the false prophets that the sacred vessels of the Temple should be returned from Babylon, Jeremiah 27:16 . Finally, a sad procession issued... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 24:1-20

Jehoiakim became tributary to Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar. The continuity of evil made impossible any respite, and it is solemnly written, "The Lord would not pardon." In this connection the sins of Jehoiakim are attributed to Manasseh, that is to say that it was during the fifty-five years of Manasseh's reign that the fate of the nation was sealed. His successors continued in his evil way, and that with no trace of repentance or reformation. Finally, Jehoiachin, who had succeeded to... read more
