Gill's Notes on the Bible

And King Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned,.... The brother of Jehoiakim, whose untimely death, and want of burial, are prophesied of in the preceding chapter. The name of Zedekiah was Mattaniah before he was king; his name was changed by the king of Babylon, who made him king, 2 Kings 24:17;

instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim: the same with Jehoiakim, or jeconiah, called Coniah by way of contempt; he reigned but three months, and so was not reckoned as a king, not being confirmed by the king of Babylon, but was carried captive by him, and his uncle placed in his stead:

whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah; to whom he became tributary, and swore homage and fealty, 2 Chronicles 36:13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

It is evident that Zedekiah was well affected toward Jeremiah. In Jer. 37–38, dealing with events during the siege of Jerusalem, we have an account of his relations with Jeremiah and of the prophet’s personal history up to the capture of the city.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXVII

Zedekiah succeeds Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, in the Jewish

throne, and does that which is evil in the sight of the Lord,

1, 2.

The king sends a message to Jeremiah, 3-5.

God suggests an answer; and foretells the return of the

Chaldean army, who should most assuredly take and burn the

city, 6-10.

Jeremiah, in attempting to leave this devoted city, and retire

to his possession in the country, is seized as a deserter, and

cast into a dungeon, 11-15.

The king, after a conference with him, abates the rigour of his

confinement, 16-21.
