Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 36:3. The king of Egypt put him down — He now considered Judah to be conquered, and tributary to him and because the people had set up Jehoahaz without his consent, he dethroned him, and put his brother in his place, perhaps for no other reason but to show his supremacy. For other particulars, see the notes on 2 Kings 23:31-35.
