2 Chronicles 36:14-15. The people transgressed very much They were universally corrupt, and therefore God justly brought upon them a general destruction. Rising up betimes, and sending them Sending them early and diligently, as a careful householder, who rises betimes about his business. God sent them many prophets and messages, some at the very beginning of their apostacy, and others afterward, till the very day of their captivity. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Chronicles 36:16
2 Chronicles 36:16. But they mocked the messengers of God Of which see instances Ezekiel 11:3; Ezekiel 20:49. Misused his prophets Imprisoning and persecuting them as they did Jeremiah; or, seduced themselves by his prophets; that is, by the prophecies of his prophets, which they perverted, or misconstrued. An eminent instance of which we have in this, that because Jeremiah prophesied that Zedekiah should be led to Babylon, (Jeremiah 32:5,) and Ezekiel, that he should not see Babylon,... 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

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
