Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:13-23

Concerning Jehoiakim (22:13-23)Jehoiakim, another son of Josiah, was made king by Egypt in place of the unfortunate Jehoahaz. Jehoiakim was a cruel and oppressive ruler. In a time of extreme hardship, when the people were already burdened with heavy taxes to pay the overlord Egypt, Jehoiakim built luxurious palaces for himself. He demonstrated his contempt for his people by treating them almost as slaves and forcing them to work on his grand building projects without payment. He was the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 22:13-19

A prophecy about King Jehoiakim 22:13-19"Jehoiakim was condemned by Jeremiah more severely than any other king. He seems to have been a typical Oriental despot who rejected Josiah’s reforms." [Note: Thompson, p. 478.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 22:17

Jehoiakim had only been interested in acquiring things for himself, even dishonestly. He resorted to oppression, extortion, and even murder to get what he wanted (Jeremiah 26:20-23; 2 Kings 24:3-4)."Jehoiakim, who was only twenty-five years old when he began to reign and only thirty-six when he died (2 Kings 23:36), was evidently a thoroughly spoiled and self-indulgent young despot."

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:1-30

1-9. Call to amendment of life.1. Go down] The king’s house was on lower ground than the Temple: cp. Jeremiah 36:12. 3. The reference is to the special crimes of Jehoiakim more fully stated in Jeremiah 36:13: cp. 2 Kings 23:35. He oppressed his people in order that though paying tribute to Necho he might yet build himself sumptuous palaces. Neither shed innocent blood] For his sins in this respect cp. Jeremiah 26:20. 4. Cp. Jeremiah 17:25. 6. Gilead, with its balm (Jeremiah 8:22) and its flocks... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 22:17

(17) Thy covetousness.—More literally, thy gain, the word used implying (as in Jeremiah 6:13; Jeremiah 8:10) the idea of violence and oppression as the means by which it was obtained. The verb from which the noun is derived is so translated—“ violence” (literally, “crushing”)—in Deuteronomy 28:33. The marginal reading, “incursion,” has nothing to commend it. In “the blood of the innocent” here, as in Jeremiah 22:3, we have an allusive reference to many, for the most part unrelenting, acts of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Jeremiah 22:1-30

The Woes of the Unjust Jeremiah 22:13 The whole law is contained in these words, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbour as thyself'. These two parts cannot be separated. God places us among our own kind, and our character cannot be formed and our souls saved without doing justly and loving mercy, while we walk humbly with our God. If we are servants, we are to do honest work for our masters; and if we are masters, we are to give equitable wages to our servants.... read more
