2 Chronicles 36:8, 2 Chronicles 36:9 NASB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-10

The destruction of Judah and Jerusalem is here coming on by degrees. God so ordered it to show that he has no pleasure in the ruin of sinners, but had rather they would turn and live, and therefore gives them both time and inducement to repent and waits to be gracious. The history of these reigns was more largely recorded in the last three chapters of the second of Kings. 1. Jehoahaz was set up by the people (2 Chron. 36:1), but in one quarter of a year was deposed by Pharaoh-necho, and... read more

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah ,.... Of whose reign, and of the three following, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, and the account of them, from hence to the end of 2 Chronicles 36:13 , what needs explanation or reconciliation; see Gill on 2 Kings 23:31 , 2 Kings 23:32 , 2 Kings 23:33 , 2 Kings 23:34 , 2 Kings 23:35 , 2 Kings 23:36 , 2 Kings 23:37 , 2 Kings 24:5 , 2 Kings 24:6 , 2 Kings 24:8 , 2 Kings 24:10 , 2 Kings 24:17 , 2 Kings... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-10

Three melancholy spectacles. As we read these verses we feel that we are drawing very near the end of the kingdom of Judah; there is an air of melancholy pervading this last chapter of the Hebrew chronicles. There are three things which it is sad to see. I. A NATION SINKING INTO SERVITUDE . When Egypt comes up and deposes one king and sets up another, calling that other by a name that it pleases to confer, at the same time imposing a heavy tribute on the people of the land;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-23

This chapter, then, contains, first, very brief accounts of the four reigns of Jehoahaz ( 2 Chronicles 36:1-4 ), Eliakim or Jehoiakim ( 2 Chronicles 36:4-8 ), Jehoiachin ( 2 Chronicles 36:9 , 2 Chronicles 36:10 ), and Zedekiah ( 2 Chronicles 36:10-13 ); next, general remarks on the iniquity that heralded the destruction of the nation and the punishment of it by the Chaldean captivity ( 2 Chronicles 36:14-17 ); thirdly, the methods of that destruction and captivity ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:1-23

The final indictment, sentence, and execution of it. It is in 2 Chronicles 36:11-21 of this chapter that we are given to read the final summary of, first, the folly and sin of Judah, her king, princes, and people; and second, the just displeasure and necessary punishment of Jehovah after an unparalleled forbearance. The historic incidents of the four reigns which occupy this chapter abound in pathetic, tragic interest. The account of them given in the parallel (2Ki 23:31-25:30) is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:5-8

The fortunes of Jehoiakim. I. A NEW KING UPON THE THRONE OF JUDAH . ( 2 Chronicles 36:5 .) 1 . His designation. Eliakim, "Whom God establishes," changed into Jehoiakim, "Jehovah has set up;" not by himself, though it would almost seem as if Uzziah had adopted that name instead of Azariah on acceding to the crown ( 2 Chronicles 26:1 ), and Pal had assumed the title Tiglath-Pileser, "Adar is my confidence," on succeeding Shalmaneser of Assyria; but by Necho II .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:8

The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim. As our compiler has literally told us none at all, we need but note his expression here as a convenient formula, indicating his own intentional brevity, and the fact that he was privy to all in the original sources, which he nevertheless now omitted; yet see Jeremiah 7:9 ; Jeremiah 19:13 , etc. The telling expression, what was found in him , is too readily to be filled up from the parallel, in its Jeremiah 19:3 , Jeremiah 19:4 . Jehoiachin his... read more

(with Jeremiah 22:18 ). An unlamented death. We learn more of this King of Judah in the prophetic writings of Jeremiah than in these brief annals. There we learn that his foreign policy was not less condemnable than his conduct of home affairs. When his treasury was low by reason of heavy payments to the foreign powers, he must needs build for himself a splendid and costly mansion ( Jeremiah 22:14 ), and in order to do this he had to impress the labour of his subjects ( Jeremiah... read more

His abominations which he did - See Jeremiah 7:9, Jeremiah 7:30-31; Jeremiah 19:3-13; Jeremiah 25:1 etc.; Jehoiakim appears to have restored all the idolatries which Josiah his father had swept away. read more
