Verse 15

15. Zedekiah—called the son of Josiah (compare Jeremiah 1:3; Jeremiah 37:1), but in 2 Chronicles 36:19 he is described as the brother of Jehoiachin, who was the son of Jehoiakim, and consequently the grandson of Josiah. Words expressive of affinity or relationship are used with great latitude in the Hebrew.

Shallum—No king of this name is mentioned in the history of Josiah's sons (2 Kings 14:1-29; 2 Kings 23:1-37), but there is a notice of Shallum the son of Josiah (2 Chronicles 36:19- :), who reigned in the stead of his father, and who is generally supposed to be Jehoahaz, a younger son, here called the fourth, of Josiah.
