The End of the Southern Kingdom.

His name before his accession to the throne was Shallum, and the people chose him in preference to his older brother Eliakim, probably because they believed he would show an aggressive spirit over against the encroachments of Egypt. v. 2.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-10

at the Mercy of the Foe 2 Chronicles 36:1-10 The narrative here runs parallel with II Kings, but the events are described with a certain gravity of warning which enforces the lesson of history. Here was the final Catastrophe. Long predicted, at last it fell. The Jewish kings named here were mere puppets, and instead of turning to Jehovah, followed each other in persistent idolatry.

In turn he was succeeded by Jehoiachin, who persisted in the same evil courses for three months and ten days, and in turn was carried away by Nebuchadnezzar. Zedekiah,... read more
