Contextual Overview

1Then the people of the land took Joahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.2Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned [only] three months in Jerusalem. 3Then the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on the land of a hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold. 4The king of Egypt made Eliakim, the brother of Joahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Joahaz his brother, and brought him to Egypt. 5Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God. 6Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him and bound him with bronze [chains] to take him to Babylon. 7Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house (temple) of the LORD to Babylon and put them in his temple there. 8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the repulsive acts which he committed, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin became king in his place. 9Jehoiachin was eight[teen] years old when he became king, and he reigned for three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the LORD. 10Now at the turn of the year [in the spring], King Nebuchadnezzar sent word and had him brought to Babylon with the valuable articles of the house of the LORD, and made his brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 1-13. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah,.... Of whose reign, and of the three following, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, and the account of them, from hence to the end of 2 Chronicles 36:13, what needs explanation or reconciliation,

2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- : 2 Chronicles 36:13- :

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The narrative runs parallel with 2 Kings (marginal reference) as far as 2 Chronicles 36:13. The writer then emits the events following, and substitutes a sketch in which the moral and didactic element preponderates over the historical.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXVI

Jehoahaz made king on the death of his father Josiah, and

reigns only three months, 1, 2.

He is dethroned by the king of Egypt, and Jehoiakim his brother

made king in his stead, who reigns wickedly eleven years, and

is dethroned and led captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, 3-8.

Jehoiachin is made king in his stead, and reigns wickedly three

months and ten days, and is also led captive to Babylon, 9, 10.

Zedekiah begins to reign, and reigns wickedly eleven years,

11, 12.

He rebels against Nebuchadnezzar, and he and his people cast all

the fear of God behind their backs; the wrath of God comes upon

them to the uttermost; their temple us destroyed; and the whole

nation is subjugated, and led into captivity, 13-21.

Cyrus, king of Persia, makes a proclamation to rebuild the

temple of the Lord, 22, 23.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXXVI

Verse 2 Chronicles 36:1. Took Jehoahaz — It seems that after Necho had discomfited Josiah, he proceeded immediately against Charchemish, and in the interim, Josiah dying of his wounds, the people made his son king.
