John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:9

Then they shall answer ,.... Or, "it shall be answered" F5 ואמרו "respondebitur", Gataker; "dicetur", Piscator. ; by some in company, acquainted with the history of this people: because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God ; the Lord was the God of these people; he chose them for his peculiar people, and distinguished them by his favours from others; a covenant was made with them, in which many good things were promised them upon their obedience; this was kept by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10

Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him ,.... Not Jehoiakim, as Jarchi and Kimchi; but King Josiah, slain by Pharaohnecho; who, being a pious prince, a good king, and very useful, and much beloved by his people, great lamentation was made for him by them, and by the prophet also; but now he exhorts them to cease weeping, or at least not to weep so much for him, it being well with him, and he taken away from evil to come; and especially since they had other and worse things to lament;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:11

For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum ,.... Not Shallum the fourth son of Josiah, 1 Chronicles 3:15 ; for it is not likely that he should immediately succeed his father; nor Zedekiah, as Jarchi; nor Jeconiah, as Kimchi; but Jehoahaz, as Aben Ezra; who seems to have had several names, as Johanan, 1 Chronicles 3:15 ; and Shallum here: the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father ; the same is said of Jehoahaz, 2 Chronicles 36:1 ; which went forth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:12

But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive ,.... Even in Egypt, where Pharaohnecho and his army carried him captive, as before observed: and he shall see his land no more ; the land of Judah, where he was born, and over which he had been king: this is repeated to show the certainty of it, and what reason there was for the above lamentation; since the people might have been in hopes of the return of him, but now they are assured they had no ground for it; who, though... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:13

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by righteousness, and his chambers by wrong ,.... This respects Jehoiakim, the then reigning king; who, not content with the palace the kings of Judah before him had lived in, built another; or however enlarged that, and made great alterations in it; but this he did either with money ill gotten, or perverted to a wrong use, which ought to have been otherwise laid out; or by not paying for the materials of whom they were bought, or the workmen for their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:14

That saith, I will build me a wide house ,.... Or, "a house of measures", or, "dimensions" F9 בית מדות "domum mensurarum", Vatablus, Montanus, Calvin, Schmidt. ; a very large house, whose length and breadth measure much consisting of many spacious rooms, upper as well as lower; as follows: and large chambers ; or, "widened ones"; very spacious and roomy; or "aired", or "airy F11 מרוחים "perflabilia", Piscator; "vento exposita", Vatablus, Montanus. ones"; through which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:15

Shalt thou reign because thou closest thyself in cedar ?.... Dost thou think that thou shalt reign long, and thy throne be established firm and secure, because of thy cedar wainscot? as if that was a protection to thee, and were like the fortifications of a city or tower; when it may easily be broke to pieces, or burnt with fire; and must be a poor defence against a powerful enemy. The Targum is, "dost thou think to be as the first king?' as David; to be as great a prince, to keep as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:16

He judged the cause of the poor and needy ,.... Who could not defend themselves against the rich and the mighty; he took their cause in hand, and, having heard it, determined it in their favour, and did them justice, as princes and civil magistrates ought to do: then it was well with him ; this is repeated, not only to show the certainty of it, but that it might be observed, and his example followed: was not this to know me? saith the Lord ; it is not by words only, but by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:17

But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness ,.... He was wholly intent upon gratifying that lust; his heart was meditating, contriving, and forming schemes for that purpose; and his eyes were looking out here and there for proper objects and opportunities to exercise it: and for to shed innocent blood ; in order to get their money, goods, and possessions into his hands; avarice often leads to murder: and for oppression, and for violence, to do it ; by making... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:18

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim ,.... This shows who is before spoken of and described; Jehoiakim, the then reigning king in Judah, whose name was Eliakim, but was changed by Pharaoh king of Egypt, when he deposed his brother Jehoahaz or Shallum, and set him on the throne, 2 Kings 23:34 ; the son of Josiah king of Judah ; and who seems to have been his eldest son, though his brother Jehoahaz reigned before him; for he was but twenty three years of age when he began... read more
