JEHOIAKIM, REIGNING ILL, IS CARRIED INTO BABYLON. (Ch2 36:5-8)
Jehoiakim . . . did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord--He followed the course of his idolatrous predecessors; and the people, to a great extent, disinclined to the reforming policy of his father, eagerly availed themselves of the vicious license which his lax administration restored. His character is portrayed with a masterly hand in the prophecy of Jeremiah (Jer 22:13-19). As the deputy of the king of Egypt, he departed further than his predecessor from the principles of Josiah's government; and, in trying to meet the insatiable cupidity of his master by grinding exactions from his subjects, he recklessly plunged into all evil. |
Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
The reign of Jehoiakim. Cf. 2 Kings 23:36-24:7. - Jehoiakim was at his accession twenty-five years of age, reigned eleven years, and did that which was evil in the eyes of Jahve his God.
Ch2 36:6-8
"Against him came Nebuchadnezzar (in inscriptions, Nabucudurriusur, i.e., Nebo coronam servat; see on Dan. S. 56) the king of Babylon, and bound him with brazen double fetters to carry him to Babylon." This campaign, Nebuchadnezzar's first against Judah, is spoken of also in 2 Kings 24 and Dan 1:1-2. The capture of Jerusalem, at which Jehoiakim was put in fetters, occurred, as we learn from Dan 1:1, col. c. Jer 46:2 and Jer 36:7, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim's reign, i.e., in the year 606 b.c.; and with it commence the seventy years of the Chaldean servitude of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar did not carry out his purpose of deporting the captured king Jehoiakim to Babylon, but allowed him to continue to reign at Jerusalem as his servant (vassal). To alter the infin. להוליכו into the perf., or to translate as the perf., is quite arbitrary, as is also the supplying of the words, "and he carried him away to Babylon." That the author of the Chronicle does not mention the actual carrying away, but rather assumes the contrary, namely, that Jehoiakim continued to reign in Jerusalem until his death, as well known, is manifest from the way in which, in Ch2 36:8, he records his son's accession to the throne. He uses the same formula which he has used in the case of all the kings whom at their death their sons succeeded, according to established custom. Had Nebuchadnezzar dethroned Jehoiakim, as Necho deposed Jehoahaz, the author of the Chronicle would not have left the installation of Jehoiachin by the Chaldean king unmentioned. For the defence of this view against opposing opinions, see the commentary on Kg2 24:1 and Dan 1:1; and in regard to Ch2 36:7, see on Dan 1:2. The Chronicle narrates nothing further as to Jehoiakim's reign, but refers, Ch2 36:8, for his other deeds, and especially his abominations, to the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, whence the most important things have been excerpted and incorporated in Kg2 24:1-4. עשׂה אשׁר תּועבותיו Bertheau interprets of images which he caused to be prepared, and עליו הנּמצא of his evil deeds; but in both he is incorrect. The passages which Bertheau cites for his interpretation of the first words, Jer 7:9. and Eze 8:17, prove the contrary; for Jeremiah mentions as תּועבות of the people, murder, adultery, false swearing, offering incense to Baal, and going after other gods; and Ezekiel, loc. cit., uses תּועבות עשׂות of the idolatry of the people indeed, but not of the making of images - only of the worship of idols, the practice of idol-worship. The abominations, consequently, which Jehoiakim committed are both his evil deeds and crimes, e.g., the shedding of innocent blood (Kg2 24:4), as well as the idolatry which he had practised. עליו הנּמצא, "what was found upon him," is a comprehensive designation of his whole moral and religious conduct and attitude; cf. Ch2 19:3. Jehoiakim's revolt from Nebuchadnezzar after three years' servitude (Kg2 24:1) is passed over by the author of the Chronicle, because the punishment of this crime influenced the fate of the kingdom of Judah only after his death. The punishment fell upon Jehoiachin; for the detachments of Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites, which were sent by Nebuchadnezzar to punish the rebels, did not accomplish much. |
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.
18 Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] concerning Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; They shall not lament [05594] for him, saying, Ah [01945] my brother [0251]! or, Ah [01945] sister [0269]! they shall not lament [05594] for him, saying, Ah [01945] lord [0113]! or, Ah [01945] his glory [01935]!
19 He shall be buried [06912] with the burial [06900] of an ass [02543], drawn [05498] and cast forth [07993] beyond [01973] the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389].
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.
1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him.
3 Nevertheless [061] there are good [02896] things [01697] found [04672] in thee, in that thou hast taken away [01197] the groves [0842] out of the land [0776], and hast prepared [03559] thine heart [03824] to seek [01875] God [0430].
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].
17 Then he said [0559] unto me, Hast thou seen [07200] this, O son [01121] of man [0120]? Is it a light thing [07043] to the house [01004] of Judah [03063] that they commit [06213] the abominations [08441] which they commit [06213] here? for they have filled [04390] the land [0776] with violence [02555], and have returned [07725] to provoke me to anger [03707]: and, lo, they put [07971] the branch [02156] to their nose [0639].
9 Will ye steal [01589], murder [07523], and commit adultery [05003], and swear [07650] falsely [08267], and burn incense [06999] unto Baal [01168], and walk [01980] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] whom ye know [03045] not;
1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him.
2 And the LORD [03068] sent [07971] against him bands [01416] of the Chaldees [03778], and bands [01416] of the Syrians [0758], and bands [01416] of the Moabites [04124], and bands [01416] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983], and sent [07971] them against Judah [03063] to destroy [06] it, according to the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servants [05650] the prophets [05030].
3 Surely at the commandment [06310] of the LORD [03068] came this upon Judah [03063], to remove [05493] them out of his sight [06440], for the sins [02403] of Manasseh [04519], according to all that he did [06213];
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].
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.
2 And the Lord [0136] gave [05414] Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] into his hand [03027], with part [07117] of the vessels [03627] of the house [01004] of God [0430]: which he carried [0935] into the land [0776] of Shinar [08152] to the house [01004] of his god [0430]; and he brought [0935] the vessels [03627] into the treasure [0214] house [01004] of his god [0430].
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].
1 In the third [07969] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came [0935] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] unto Jerusalem [03389], and besieged [06696] it.
1 In his days [03117] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] came up [05927], and Jehoiakim [03079] became his servant [05650] three [07969] years [08141]: then he turned [07725] and rebelled [04775] against him.
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.
7 It may be they will present [05307] their supplication [08467] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and will return [07725] every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870]: for great [01419] is the anger [0639] and the fury [02534] that the LORD [03068] hath pronounced [01696] against this people [05971].
2 Against Egypt [04714], against the army [02428] of Pharaohnecho [06549] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], which was by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578] in Carchemish [03751], which Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] smote [05221] in the fourth [07243] year [08141] of Jehoiakim [03079] the son [01121] of Josiah [02977] king [04428] of Judah [03063].
1 In the third [07969] year [08141] of the reign [04438] of Jehoiakim [03079] king [04428] of Judah [03063] came [0935] Nebuchadnezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] unto Jerusalem [03389], and besieged [06696] it.
