Contextual Overview

1 And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father. 2 Joachaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Æmath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem. 3 And the king brought him over to Egypt; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 4 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name to Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but he had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao. 5 Joachim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zechora, daughter of Nerias of Rama. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did. In his days came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon into the land, and he served him three years, and then revolted from him. And the Lord sent against them the Chaldeans, and plundering parties of Syrians, and plundering parties of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of Samaria; but after this they departed, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of his servants the prophets. Nevertheless the wrath of the Lord was upon Juda, so that they should be removed from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses in all that he did, and for the innocent blood which Joakim shed, for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; yet the Lord would not utterly destroy them. 6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon. 7 And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon. 8 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead. 9 Jechonias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. 10 And at the turn of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Sedekias his father’s brother king over Juda 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.
