2 Chronicles 36:9-10 ASV

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

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

Eight years old . Our text, not the writer, is in error, and the parallel furnishes the correction, " eighteen years old." read more

Jehoiachin the worthless. I. HIS CORONATION . 1 . His title to the throne, He was Jehoiakim's son, his mother having been Nehushta, "The Brazen," the daughter of El-nathan of Jerusalem ( 2 Chronicles 36:8 ; 2 Kings 24:6 , 2 Kings 24:8 ), one of the princes attached to Jehoiakim's court ( Jeremiah 26:22 ; Jeremiah 36:12 , Jeremiah 36:25 ). 2 . His regal designation. Jehoiachin, "Jehovah has established," perhaps expressive of the hopes with which he assumed the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 36:10

When the year was expired ; i.e. at the beginning of the new year, in spring ( 2 Chronicles 24:23 ). It appears, from 2 Kings 25:27-30 , that the captivity of Jehoia-chin, which thus began, lasted thirty-seven years, till b.c. 561, past the end of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, and that he was thenceforward kindly treated by Evil-Merodach. Compare particularly with this verse the parallel in its 2 Kings 25:10-16 . Zedekiah his brother ; i.e. not adopting the very generic usage of the... read more
