| Reign of Jehoiakim (cf. Ch2 36:5-8). - Jehoiakim reigned eleven years in the spirit of his ungodly forefathers (compare Kg2 23:37 with Kg2 23:32). Jeremiah represents him (Kg2 22:13.) as a bad prince, who enriched himself by the unjust oppression of his people, "whose eyes and heart were directed upon nothing but upon gain, and upon innocent blood to shed it, and upon oppression and violence to do them" (compare Kg2 24:4 and Jer 26:22-23). Josephus therefore describes him as τὴν φύσιν ἄδικος καὶ κακοῦργος, καὶ μήτε πρὸς Θεὸν ὅσιος, μήτε πρὸς ἀνθρώπους ἐπιεικής (Ant. x. 5, 2). The town of Rumah, from which his mother sprang, is not mentioned anywhere else, but it has been supposed to be identical with Aruma in the neighbourhood of Shechem (Jdg 9:41). |
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].
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.
5 Now when she saw [07200] that she had waited [03176], and her hope [08615] was lost [06], then she took [03947] another [0259] of her whelps [01482], and made [07760] him a young lion [03715].
6 And he went up and down [01980] among [08432] the lions [0738], he became a young lion [03715], and learned [03925] to catch [02963] the prey [02964], and devoured [0398] men [0120].
7 And he knew [03045] their desolate palaces [0490], and he laid waste [02717] their cities [05892]; and the land [0776] was desolate [03456], and the fulness [04393] thereof, by the noise [06963] of his roaring [07581].
8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and his abominations [08441] which he did [06213], and that which was found [04672] in him, behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
37 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his fathers [01] had done [06213].
31 Jehoahaz [03059] was twenty [06242] and three [07969] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427]; and he reigned [04427] three [07969] months [02320] in Jerusalem [03389]. And his mother's [0517] name [08034] was Hamutal [02537], the daughter [01323] of Jeremiah [03414] of Libnah [03841].
41 And Abimelech [040] dwelt [03427] at Arumah [0725]: and Zebul [02083] thrust out [01644] Gaal [01603] and his brethren [0251], that they should not dwell [03427] in Shechem [07927].
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].
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].
13 Go [03212] ye, enquire [01875] of the LORD [03068] for me, and for the people [05971], and for all Judah [03063], concerning the words [01697] of this book [05612] that is found [04672]: for great [01419] is the wrath [02534] of the LORD [03068] that is kindled [03341] against us, because our fathers [01] have not hearkened [08085] unto the words [01697] of this book [05612], to do [06213] according unto all that which is written [03789] concerning us.
32 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his fathers [01] had done [06213].
37 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], according to all that his fathers [01] had done [06213].
5 Jehoiakim [03079] was twenty [06242] and five [02568] years [08141] old [01121] when he began to reign [04427], and he reigned [04427] eleven [0259] [06240] years [08141] in Jerusalem [03389]: and he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068] his God [0430].
6 Against him came up [05927] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894], and bound [0631] him in fetters [05178], to carry [03212] him to Babylon [0894].
7 Nebuchadnezzar [05019] also carried [0935] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] to Babylon [0894], and put [05414] them in his temple [01964] at Babylon [0894].
8 Now the rest [03499] of the acts [01697] of Jehoiakim [03079], and his abominations [08441] which he did [06213], and that which was found [04672] in him, behold, they are written [03789] in the book [05612] of the kings [04428] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063]: and Jehoiachin [03078] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
