The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:18-19

Desecration and destruction. We look at— I. A SAD HISTORICAL FACT . Perhaps a Jew would say, the saddest of all the facts of history. This is the very climax of disasters—the, great temple of Jehovah in Jerusalem burnt down, and all its precious treasures and all its sacred vessels carried away into a heathen land, to be there profaned by irreverent and wanton hands! Could anything happen more painful to the feelings, more shocking to the imagination, of the devout than that? All... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 36:17

2 Chronicles 36:17. Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees The king of the Chaldeans marched against them out of some political view; but we are taught in the Holy Scriptures to ascribe all these events to the agency of the Divine Providence, and therefore it is said here, not that the king of the Chaldeans went against them, but that the Lord brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans.

2 Chronicles 36:18. And the treasures of the king, and of his princes The treasures of the temple, by a special providence of God, were preserved, and restored, in the reign of Cyrus, to the house of the Lord: but the other, it is likely, were looked upon as spoil, and spent by the king and his great men. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-23

Failure, defeat and captivity (36:1-23)The Chronicler spent much time describing the reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, impressing upon his readers that good kings tried to be faithful to the Mosaic and Davidic covenants. They had to follow the Levitical order if they were to enjoy the promises given to the dynasty of David. With the death of Josiah, Judah quickly returned to its former ungodly ways. Successive kings followed disastrous policies, both political and religious, which resulted in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 36:1-21

Q. The Last Four Kings 36:1-21The sovereignty of the Davidic kings over Judah had ended. With the death of Josiah, Judah fell under the control of foreign powers, first Egypt and then Babylonia. God used other more powerful kings and kingdoms to punish His people (cf. 2 Kings 23:31 to 2 Kings 25:17). The temple motif in Chronicles also climaxes in this section with its destruction. read more
