2 Chronicles 36:3 - Exposition

Put him down ; Hebrew, וַיְסִירֵהוּ ; i.e. deposed him (Revised Version). At Jerusalem . In something more than three months Pharaoh-Necho seems to have been returning, and in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The parallel ( 2 Kings 23:31 ) tells us that he put Jahoahaz "in bands" at "Riblath in the land of Hamath" ( Ezekiel 19:4 ). And condemned the land ; i.e. inflicted a fine on the land; Hebrew, וַיַּעֲנשׁ . From this time nothing further is heard of Jehoahaz or Shallum.
