Contextual Overview
10 The Lord said: King Josiah is dead, so don't cry for him. Instead, cry for his son King Jehoahaz, dragged off to another country, never to return. 11Jehoahaz became king of Judah after his father King Josiah died. But Jehoahaz was taken as a prisoner to a foreign country. Now I, the Lord , promise that he will die there without ever seeing his own land again. 13 The Lord told me to say: King Jehoiakim, you are doomed! You built a palace with large rooms upstairs. 14 You put in big windows and used cedar paneling and red paint. But you were unfair and forced the builders to work without pay. 15 More cedar in your palace doesn't make you a better king than your father Josiah. He always did right— he gave justice to the poor and was honest. 16 That's what it means to truly know me. So he lived a comfortable life and always had enough to eat and drink. 17 But all you think about is how to cheat or abuse or murder some innocent victim. 18 Jehoiakim, no one will cry at your funeral. They won't turn to each other and ask, "Why did our great king have to die?" 19 You will be given a burial fit for a donkey; your body will be dragged outside the city gates and tossed in the dirt. I, the Lord , have spoken.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum,.... Not Shallum the fourth son of Josiah, 1 Chronicles 3:15; for it is not likely that he should immediately succeed his father; nor Zedekiah, as Jarchi; nor Jeconiah, as Kimchi; but Jehoahaz, as Aben Ezra; who seems to have had several names, as Johanan, 1 Chronicles 3:15; and Shallum here:
the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father; the same is said of Jehoahaz, 2 Chronicles 36:1;
which went forth out of this place; out of Jerusalem, being put down there from his throne by Pharaohnecho, and carried by him into Egypt,
2 Chronicles 36:3;
he shall not return thither any more; he died in Egypt, or however out of his own land; but was alive when this prophecy was delivered out, which was in the reign of his brother Jehoiakim, as some following verses show.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In the two foregoing prophecies Jeremiah stated the general principle on which depend the rise and downfall of kings and nations. He now adds for Zedekiahâs warning the history of three thrones which were not established.
The first is that of Shallum the successor of Josiah, who probably took the name of Jehoahaz on his accession (see the marginal references notes).
Jeremiah 22:10
The dead - i. e., Josiah 2 Chronicles 35:25.
That goeth away - Rather, that is gone away.
