Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 22:24

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

24. As I live —God's most solemn formula of oath ( Jeremiah 46:18 ; Jeremiah 4:2 ; Deuteronomy 32:40 ; 1 Samuel 25:34 ). Coniah —Jeconiah or Jehoiachin. The contraction of the name is meant in contempt. signet —Such ring seals were often of the greatest value ( Song of Solomon 8:6 ; Haggai 2:23 ). Jehoiachin's popularity is probably here referred to. right hand —the hand most valued. I would pluck thee thence —(Compare Obadiah 1:4 ); on account of thy father's sins, as well as thine own ( Obadiah 1:4- : ). There is a change here, as often in Hebrew poetry, from the third to the second person, to bring the threat more directly home to him. After a three months' and ten days' reign, the Chaldees deposed him. In Babylon, however, by God's favor he was ultimately treated more kindly than other royal captives ( Obadiah 1:4- : ). But none of his direct posterity ever came to the throne. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-25" class="com-number"
