Et erit flos decidens gloriæ exsultationis ejus, qui est super verticem vallis pinguium, quasi temporaneum ante maturitatem autumni, quod, cum aspexerit videns, statim ut manu tenuerit, devorabit illud.
Et Iechoniam filium Ioachim regem Iudae et omnem transmigrationem Iudae, qui ingressi sunt in Babylonem, ego convertam ad locum istum, ait Dominus; conteram enim iugum regis Babylonis".
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
I will bring: This was doubtless grateful news to the people, who looked upon Zedekiah only as Nebuchadnezzar's deputy. Hananiah seems to have been more desirous of popular than regal favour; for this prediction could not be altogether agreeable to Zedekiah. But he was evidently a weak as well as a wicked prince, and very generally despised.
Jeconiah: Jeremiah 22:24, Jeremiah 22:28, Coniah, Jeremiah 24:1, Jeremiah 52:31-34, 2 Kings 25:27-30, Jehoiachin
captives: Heb. captivity, Jeremiah 24:5, *marg.
I will break: Jeremiah 28:2, Jeremiah 28:10, Jeremiah 2:20, Jeremiah 30:8, Genesis 27:40, Isaiah 9:4, Nahum 1:13
Reciprocal: 2 Kings 24:13 - and cut Jeremiah 5:12 - neither Jeremiah 29:1 - the elders Jeremiah 29:2 - Jeconiah Zechariah 10:2 - they comfort
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah,.... This he knew would please the people, who looked upon Zedekiah only as a deputy of the king of Babylon, and not properly their king; but Jeconiah, as he is here called; and he knew that Zedekiah dared not resent this, but was obliged to feigned a desire of Jeconiah's return, though otherwise not agreeable to him:
with all the captives of Judah that went into Babylon, saith the Lord; the princes, officers, and others, that should be living at the time fixed:
for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon; weaken his power over other nations, and particularly deliver the king of Judah from his bondage, and from subjection to him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeconiah - Zedekiah not being popular, the people would have preferred the young king, who had not reigned long enough to make enemies. Probably also Zedekiah had started for Babylon Jeremiah 51:59.
