Jeremías 22:12 NVI

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 22:12

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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:5-14

Building in unrighteousness. The building of a house, be it small or great, is always an interesting and suggestive process. It is a lengthened operation, expensive, and representing a great part of a man's aims and efforts. Various purposes may be sought in it according to the character, circumstances, etc; of the builder—mere shelter, comfort, splendor, protection. As these come into view the object in which they are to be realized becomes representative of the living personality and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10-12

There is a fate worse than that of the dead Josiah. Weep not , in comparison, for him, but weep sore for him that goeth away (or rather, that is gone away ). The king referred to is probably Jehoahaz, who, though two years younger than Jehoiakim, was preferred to him by the people on the death of Josiah. The counsel to "weep sore" for this royal exile was carried out, as Mr. Samuel Cox observes (and we have, perhaps, a specimen of the popular elegies upon him in Ezekiel 19:1-4 ): "A... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10-12

Fates worse than death. Josiah's death was still fresh in the memory of the people. But their hopes were reviving at the accession of the young Jehoahaz, his son. For three months he reigned in Jerusalem, following the evil and not the good of his predecessor, and "Pharaoh-Nechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem." After appointing Eliakim, another son of Josiah, to reign in his stead, he took the captive prince to Egypt, where he died (... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10-12

The mistakes of the mourner. Two persons are presented here as furnishing occasions for lamentation. One is Josiah, King of Judah, lately dead; the other is Shallum, his son, just succeeding him, and taken into captivity by Pharaoh-Nechoh, King of Egypt. The prophet, therefore, looks upon his countrymen as sorrowing both for the dead and the living. Moreover, he sees that, in accordance with all the natural tendencies of the human heart, a deeper sorrow is professed for the dead than for... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 22:10-12

In the two foregoing prophecies Jeremiah stated the general principle on which depend the rise and downfall of kings and nations. He now adds for Zedekiah’s warning the history of three thrones which were not established.The first is that of Shallum the successor of Josiah, who probably took the name of Jehoahaz on his accession (see the marginal references notes).Jeremiah 22:10The dead - i. e., Josiah 2 Chronicles 35:25.That goeth away - Rather, that is gone away. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 22:10-12

Concerning Shallum (22:10-12)Jehoahaz, also known as Shallum, was made king by the people of Judah after his father Josiah was killed in battle. But after reigning three months, he was deposed and taken prisoner to Egypt (2 Kings 23:29-34). Jeremiah says that the people should mourn more for Shallum than for Josiah. At least Josiah died a hero on the battlefield, but Shallum will die a captive in a foreign land (10-12). read more
