エレミヤ書 22:10-12 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10-19

Kings, though they are gods to us, are men to God, and shall die like men; so it appears in these verses, where we have a sentence of death passed upon two kings who reigned successively in Jerusalem, two brothers, and both the ungracious sons of a very pious father. I. Here is the doom of Shallum, who doubtless is the same with Jehoahaz, for he is that son of Josiah king of Judah who reigned in the stead of Josiah his father (Jer. 22:11), which Jehoahaz did by the act of the people, who made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10

Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him ,.... Not Jehoiakim, as Jarchi and Kimchi; but King Josiah, slain by Pharaohnecho; who, being a pious prince, a good king, and very useful, and much beloved by his people, great lamentation was made for him by them, and by the prophet also; but now he exhorts them to cease weeping, or at least not to weep so much for him, it being well with him, and he taken away from evil to come; and especially since they had other and worse things to lament;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:11

For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum ,.... Not Shallum the fourth son of Josiah, 1 Chronicles 3:15 ; for it is not likely that he should immediately succeed his father; nor Zedekiah, as Jarchi; nor Jeconiah, as Kimchi; but Jehoahaz, as Aben Ezra; who seems to have had several names, as Johanan, 1 Chronicles 3:15 ; and Shallum here: the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father ; the same is said of Jehoahaz, 2 Chronicles 36:1 ; which went forth... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:12

But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive ,.... Even in Egypt, where Pharaohnecho and his army carried him captive, as before observed: and he shall see his land no more ; the land of Judah, where he was born, and over which he had been king: this is repeated to show the certainty of it, and what reason there was for the above lamentation; since the people might have been in hopes of the return of him, but now they are assured they had no ground for it; who, though... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:10

Weep ye not for the dead - Josiah, dead in consequence of the wound he had received at Megiddo, in a battle with Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt; but he died in peace with God. But weep sore for him that goeth away - Namely, Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, called below Shallum, whom Pharaoh-necho had carried captive into Egypt from which it was prophesied he should never return, 2 Kings 23:30-34 . He was called Shallum before he ascended the throne, and Jehoahaz afterwards; so his brother... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:10

Verse 10 They explain this verse of Jehoiakim and Jeconiah, but I consider it rather a general declaration, for the Prophet wished briefly to shew how miserable would be the condition of the people, as it would be better and more desirable at once to die than to protract life in continual languor. Of the kings he wilt afterwards speak, but reason compels us to extend these words to the whole people. When a people flee away, being not able to resist their enemies, they may look for a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 22:11

Verse 11 What he had before said generally he now applies distinctly and especially to the person of the king, that the people in general might know that they could not escape that punishment from which even the king would not be exempt. They, no doubt, when they heard that such a hard and bitter lot would happen to a king, regarded it as a thing incredible; but Jeremiah intended to shew in his person that what we have just seen was nigh them all, that is, that it would be better for them at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-10

The mighty pleadings of God, These verses contain record of what we may fitly term a Divine wrestling with his sinful people to induce them to abandon their wickedness and live, so intense and urgent are the motives which he brings to bear upon them. Note— I. FOR WHAT GOD PLEADS . "That they should execute righteousness and judgment ." It is the King Jehoiakim who is addressed specially, a monarch one of the worst who filled the throne of David. "He remained fixed in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:1-23

Truth-speaking under difficulties. The prophet is commanded to go down to the king's palace and deliver his prophecies in the royal audience. His mission did not admit of time-serving or evasive utterance. Like that prophet who said to David, "Thou art the man," he had to speak to the king face to face and with great plainness. I. GOD 'S CHILDREN ARE OFTEN CALLED UPON TO WITNESS TO HIM IN DIFFICULT PLACES . In king's courts; in society; in unbelieving homes;... read more
