Verse 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 out of this place ; out of Jerusalem, being put down there from his throne by Pharaohnecho, and carried by him into Egypt, 2 Chronicles 36:3 ;
he shall not return thither any more ; he died in Egypt, or however out of his own land; but was alive when this prophecy was delivered out, which was in the reign of his brother Jehoiakim, as some following verses show.
