Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 36:5
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
5. 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 ( :- ). 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. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
