耶利米書 22:17-19 CUNPTS

Son and father: a sad contrast. A wicked son, Jeheiakim is not only reproached with his wickedness, but reminded of the very different conduct of his honored father. The contrast is very striking, varied, and instructive. It is seen— I. IN THE PARENTAGE OF THE TWO PRINCES . Jehoiakim had the great advantage of being the son of an eminently good father. All the impulse and help that could come from such a fact was his. Josiah, on the other hand, was the son of a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:13-19

A right aim pursued by a wrong and cruel method. I. A RIGHT AIM . What this aim was is indicated in Jeremiah 22:15 . Jehoiakim wanted to be a king. In one sense he was a king, without any effort of his own, for he had succeeded to the position and honors of his father. But very rightly he sought to be reckoned a king by virtue of something more than mere rank. He wished to do something which would mark off his reign as peculiar. He wished something more to be said of him than that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:17

But thou, O Jehoiakim, art the opposite of thy father. For (not, But ) thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness . "Covetousness" includes the ideas of injustice and violence (comp. Jeremiah 6:13 ; Jeremiah 8:10 ); hence the second half of the verse emphasizes the cruel tyranny which marked the internal policy of Jehoiakim. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:18

Josiah had been bitterly missed and universally lamented ( 2 Chronicles 35:25 ); and so, only perhaps with less heartiness in most cases, Jehoiakim's other predecessors ( Jeremiah 34:5 ). The Babylonian kings, too, received the honors of public mourning, e.g. even the last of his race, who surrendered to Cyrus, according to the British Museum inscription translated by Mr. Pinches. Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! The Septuagint omits the latter part of this phrase, apparently because it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:18

Exceptional facts in the law of transmission of character. "Concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah King of Judah." The law is that like begets like. It is so physically and mentally to large extent, and morally and spiritually as well. Generally, blessed be God, the children of his servants become his servants too. And, on the other hand, the habit of sin in the parent is reproduced in the child, so that we have criminal classes , hereditary drunkards, profligates, and much else of a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:19

Jehoiakim's miserable death, without even the honor of burial. The prediction is repeated in Jeremiah 36:30 , where the statement is made in plain language. At first sight it appears to conflict with 2 Kings 24:6 , "So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead;" but it is only appearance, and when we remember that the complete formula for describing the natural death of a king of Judah is, "slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:17

Covetousness - literally, gain. Besides exacting forced labor Jehoiakim, to procure the necessary means for the vast expenses he incurred, put innocent people to death on various pretexts, and escheated their property. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:18

Boldly by name is the judgment at length pronounced upon Jehoiakim. Dreaded by all around him, he shall soon lie an unheeded corpse, with no one to lament. No loving relative shall make such wailing as when a brother or sister is carried to the grave; nor shall he have the respect of his subjects, Ah Lord! or, Ah his glory! read more

The burial of an ass - i. e., he shall merely be dragged out of the way, and left to decay unheeded. Nothing is known of the fulfillment of this prophecy. read more
