Jeremiah 27:1 - Exposition

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim . The Syriao substitutes for, "Jehoiakim" "Zedekiah," to bring the passage into conformity with Jeremiah 28:1 , where the fourth year of the reign of Zedekiah is expressly mentioned. But is this emendation sufficient? Can the fourth year be called the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah," When that reign lasted altogether only eleven years? Is it not probable that the transcriber has inadvertently copied the heading of Jeremiah 26:1-24 , which corresponds verbally with Jeremiah 27:1 , except that "unto Jeremiah" is wanting?
