John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:1-20

Jehoiachin and NebuchadnezzarThis chapter recounts the reigns of Jehoiakim and Jehoiachin, the invasion of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (who carried into captivity Jehoiachin and numbers of the people), and the reign of Zedekiah.1. Nebuchadnezzar] called more accurately in Jeremiah 25:9 and elsewhere ’Nebuchadrezzar.’ He was the son of the Nabopolassar who conquered Nineveh (see on 2 Kings 23:29), and, as his father’s general, defeated the Egyptians in 605 at Carchemish on the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Kings 24:13

(13) And he carried out thence . . .—It is apt said, but implied, that Nebuchadnezzar entered the city. He may have done so at the time of his invasion under Jehoiakim (2 Kings 24:1). On that occasion he had carried off some of the sacred vessels (2 Chronicles 36:7; Daniel 1:2; Daniel 5:2-3; comp. Ezra 1:7 seq.) It is certainly surprising to find that anything was left in the Temple treasury after the repeated spoliations which it had undergone. The fact not only indicates the probable... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:1-20

Pharaoh was not able to maintain his dominance over Judah, however, not that Judah was able to break it, but because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon displaced Pharaoh and took his place in making Jehoiakim his servant (v.24). For three years Jehoiakim remained subject to Nebuchadnezzar, then rebelled (v.1), not because of faith in the living God, but because he would not bow to the governmental results of his sin. Since Jehoiakim decided that he would not bow to the governmental results of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 24:1-20

THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY THE LAST OF THE KINGS (2 Kings 24:0 ) In the previous lesson we left Judah tributary to Egypt, which had been victorious at Megiddo. This lasted five years, when Babylon, now master of her old-time enemy Assyria, and eager to cross swords with Egypt for world-supremacy, came up against her, and compelled allegiance. After three years Jehoiakim revolted (2 Kings 24:1 ), and for the remainder of his reign was harassed by bands of enemies (2 Kings 24:2 ) perhaps... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Kings 24:1-20

2 Kings 24:0 1. In his days [605 b.c.] Nebuchadnezzar king [at this time Crown Prince] of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. [Nebuchadnezzar, son of Nabopolassar, and second monarch of the Babylonian Empire, ascended the throne 604 b.c., and reigned forty-three years, dying 561 b.c. He is acknowledged to be the most celebrated of all the Babylonian sovereigns. No other heathen king occupies so much space in Scripture. It would... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 24:8-16

This may be really considered the close of the kingdom of Israel and Judah. For though there was a nominal king after Jehoiachim, yet as the king of Babylon made him king, he might be considered more as the creature of the king of Babylon, than possessing any kingly power. Here therefore we have the conquest of Jerusalem and the captivity of the people. Besides the multitude which the conqueror carried away to Babylon, we find from other parts of scripture an account of several remarkable... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 24:13

All, or a great part; for some were still left, 1 Esdras i. --- Which: or like unto those which Solomon had made. The identical vessels had been perhaps (Du Hamel) plundered. (Menochius) --- Nabuchodonosor took away the sacred vessels at three different times: 1. under Joakim. These he placed in the temple of his god; and they were afterwards profaned by Baltassar, and restored by Cyrus, Daniel i. 2., and v. 5., and 1 Esdras i. 7. 2. Many he now broke in pieces. 3. Under Sedecias, he took... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:8-20

8-20 Jehoiachin reigned but three months, yet long enough to show that he justly smarted for his fathers' sins, for he trod in their steps. His uncle was intrusted with the government. This Zedekiah was the last of the kings of Judah. Though the judgments of God upon the three kings before him might have warned him, he did that which was evil, like them. When those intrusted with the counsels of a nation act unwisely, and against their true interest, we ought to notice the displeasure of God in... read more
