| Jehoiakim is meant here especially: he, by oppression, levied the tribute imposed on him by Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt (Ch2 36:3), and taxed his people, and took their labor without pay, to build gorgeous palaces for himself (Jer 22:13-17), and shed innocent blood, for example, that of Urijah the prophet (Jer 26:20-24; Kg2 23:35; Kg2 24:4). |
4 And also for the innocent [05355] blood [01818] that he shed [08210]: for he filled [04390] Jerusalem [03389] with innocent [05355] blood [01818]; which the LORD [03068] would [014] not pardon [05545].
35 And Jehoiakim [03079] gave [05414] the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] to Pharaoh [06547]; but he taxed [06186] the land [0776] to give [05414] the money [03701] according to the commandment [06310] of Pharaoh [06547]: he exacted [05065] the silver [03701] and the gold [02091] of the people [05971] of the land [0776], of every one [0376] according to his taxation [06187], to give [05414] it unto Pharaohnechoh [06549].
20 And there was also a man [0376] that prophesied [05012] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], Urijah [0223] the son [01121] of Shemaiah [08098] of Kirjathjearim [07157], who prophesied [05012] against this city [05892] and against this land [0776] according to all the words [01697] of Jeremiah [03414]:
21 And when Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428], with all his mighty men [01368], and all the princes [08269], heard [08085] his words [01697], the king [04428] sought [01245] to put him to death [04191]: but when Urijah [0223] heard [08085] it, he was afraid [03372], and fled [01272], and went [0935] into Egypt [04714];
22 And Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428] sent [07971] men [0582] into Egypt [04714], namely, Elnathan [0494] the son [01121] of Achbor [05907], and certain men [0582] with him into Egypt [04714].
23 And they fetched forth [03318] Urijah [0223] out of Egypt [04714], and brought [0935] him unto Jehoiakim [03079] the king [04428]; who slew [05221] him with the sword [02719], and cast [07993] his dead body [05038] into the graves [06913] of the common [01121] people [05971].
24 Nevertheless the hand [03027] of Ahikam [0296] the son [01121] of Shaphan [08227] was with Jeremiah [03414], that they should not give [05414] him into the hand [03027] of the people [05971] to put him to death [04191].
13 Woe [01945] unto him that buildeth [01129] his house [01004] by [03808] unrighteousness [06664], and his chambers [05944] by wrong [04941]; that useth his neighbour's [07453] service [05647] without wages [02600], and giveth [05414] him not for his work [06467];
14 That saith [0559], I will build [01129] me a wide [04060] house [01004] and large [07304] chambers [05944], and cutteth him out [07167] windows [02474]; and it is cieled [05603] with cedar [0730], and painted [04886] with vermilion [08350].
15 Shalt thou reign [04427], because thou closest [08474] thyself in cedar [0730]? did not thy father [01] eat [0398] and drink [08354], and do [06213] judgment [04941] and justice [06666], and then it was well [02896] with him?
16 He judged [01777] the cause [01779] of the poor [06041] and needy [034]; then it was well [02896] with him: was not this to know [01847] me? saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
17 But thine eyes [05869] and thine heart [03820] are not but for thy covetousness [01215], and for to shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818], and for oppression [06233], and for violence [04835], to do [06213] it.
3 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] put him down [05493] at Jerusalem [03389], and condemned [06064] the land [0776] in an hundred [03967] talents [03603] of silver [03701] and a talent [03603] of gold [02091].
