Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 25:27

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

27. seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin —corresponding with the year of Nebuchadnezzar's death, and his son Evil-merodach's ascension to the throne. Evil-merodach . . . did lift up the head of Jehoiachin . . . and spake kindly —gave him liberty upon parole. This kindly feeling is said to have originated in a familiar acquaintance formed in prison, in which Evil-merodach had lain till his father's death, on account of some malversation while acting as regent during Nebuchadnezzar's seven years' illness ( Daniel 4:32 ; Daniel 4:33 ). But doubtless the improvement in Zedekiah's condition is to be traced to the overruling providence and grace of Him who still cherished purposes of love to the house of David ( 2 Samuel 7:14 ; 2 Samuel 7:15 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-29" class="com-number"
