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

But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive,.... Even in Egypt, where Pharaohnecho and his army carried him captive, as before observed:

and he shall see his land no more; the land of Judah, where he was born, and over which he had been king: this is repeated to show the certainty of it, and what reason there was for the above lamentation; since the people might have been in hopes of the return of him, but now they are assured they had no ground for it; who, though he was not a good prince, yet perhaps not so bad as his brother Jehoiakim, who succeeded him; who appears, by what follows, to have been a very unjust, tyrannical, and oppressive prince; and therefore there was great occasion for mourning on the account of Shallum, who very likely was more promising.

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 Zedekiah’s 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.
