Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-23

THE LAST KINGS OF JUDAH2 Chronicles 34:1-33; 2 Chronicles 35:1-27; 2 Chronicles 36:1-23WHATEVER influence Manasseh’s reformation exercised over his people generally, the taint of idolatry was not removed from his own family. His son Amon succeeded him at the age of two-and-twenty. Into his reign of two years he compressed all the varieties of wickedness once practiced by his father, and undid the good work of Manasseh’s later years. He recovered the graven images which Manasseh had discarded,... read more

9. The Final Decline and Apostasy CHAPTER 36:1-14 1. Jehoahaz’s reign (2 Chronicles 36:1-7 ) 2. Jehoiachin’s brief reign (2 Chronicles 36:8-10 ) 3. Zedekiah (2 Chronicles 36:11-14 ) As the complete record of these three final rulers is given in the second book of Kings, the annotations are made there. Nothing needs to be added. It was the final plunge before the awful judgment overtook Jerusalem and Judah. And there will be a final plunge into apostasy in connection with the professing... read more

36:2 Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three {a} months in Jerusalem.(a) Three months after the death of Josiah, Necho came to Jerusalem, and so the plagues began, which Huldah and the prophets forewarned would come on Jerusalem. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 36:1-23

JEHOIAKIM'S REIGN AND CAPTIVITY (vv.5-8) Jehoiakim was evidently older than Jehoahaz for he was 25 when he began to reign (cf.v.2). He reigned 11 years in Judah, but he also dishonoured the memory of his father, Josiah by his ungodly actions. It was not Necho who came against him, however, but Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. He took Jehoiakim captive to Babylon. At the same time he took some of the articles from the temple and put them in his own temple at Babylon. The Lord allowed this as... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-23

MANASSEH TO THE CAPTIVITY MANASSEH AND AMON (2 Chronicles 33:0 ) The history of the first-named is divided into three parts: (1) the outline of his character and reign down to the crisis of his punishment (2 Chronicles 33:1-10 ); (2) his affliction and repentance in Babylon (2 Chronicles 33:11-13 ); and (3) his later career and death (2 Chronicles 33:14-20 ). The first part was considered in Kings. For the reference to “groves” and “the host of heaven,” compare Deuteronomy 16:21 ;... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-4

The very short reign of Jehoahaz furnished but little subject of observation. The time was now hastening when Judah, like Israel, should cease to be a kingdom. Here is the Egyptian king triumphing over Judah, putting down one king and setting up another, and changing his name at his pleasure. Is this God's Judah? alas! what hath sin wrought! Here Jeremiah's account appears to have been marked with truth when he said, The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron. Jeremiah 17:1 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 36:1-21

1-21 The ruin of Judah and Jerusalem came on by degrees. The methods God takes to call back sinners by his word, by ministers, by conscience, by providences, are all instances of his compassion toward them, and his unwillingness that any should perish. See here what woful havoc sin makes, and, as we value the comfort and continuance of our earthly blessings, let us keep that worm from the root of them. They had many times ploughed and sowed their land in the seventh year, when it should have... read more
