This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Not only did Jehoiakim tax the people (2Ki 23:35) for Pharaoh’s tribute, but also took their forced labor, without pay, for building a splendid palace; in violation of Lev 19:13; Deu 24:14, Deu 24:15. Compare Mic 3:10; Hab 2:9; Jam 5:4. God will repay in justice those who will not in justice pay those whom they employ.
