Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

I will bring: This was doubtless grateful news to the people, who looked upon Zedekiah only as Nebuchadnezzar's deputy. Hananiah seems to have been more desirous of popular than regal favour; for this prediction could not be altogether agreeable to Zedekiah. But he was evidently a weak as well as a wicked prince, and very generally despised.

Jeconiah: Jeremiah 22:24, Jeremiah 22:28, Coniah, Jeremiah 24:1, Jeremiah 52:31-34, 2 Kings 25:27-30, Jehoiachin

captives: Heb. captivity, Jeremiah 24:5, *marg.

I will break: Jeremiah 28:2, Jeremiah 28:10, Jeremiah 2:20, Jeremiah 30:8, Genesis 27:40, Isaiah 9:4, Nahum 1:13

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 24:13 - and cut Jeremiah 5:12 - neither Jeremiah 29:1 - the elders Jeremiah 29:2 - Jeconiah Zechariah 10:2 - they comfort

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah,.... This he knew would please the people, who looked upon Zedekiah only as a deputy of the king of Babylon, and not properly their king; but Jeconiah, as he is here called; and he knew that Zedekiah dared not resent this, but was obliged to feigned a desire of Jeconiah's return, though otherwise not agreeable to him:

with all the captives of Judah that went into Babylon, saith the Lord; the princes, officers, and others, that should be living at the time fixed:

for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon; weaken his power over other nations, and particularly deliver the king of Judah from his bondage, and from subjection to him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeconiah - Zedekiah not being popular, the people would have preferred the young king, who had not reigned long enough to make enemies. Probably also Zedekiah had started for Babylon Jeremiah 51:59.
