This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_25:30 And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
Ver. 30. And his allowance was a continual allowance.] So is or might be every true believers’ portion: who should therefore "eat his bread with joy, and drink his wine with cheerfulness all the days of his life," which are not to be numbered by the hours, but measured by spiritual mirth; as moneys are not by tale, but by value.
All the days of his life.] Evilmerodach reigned little more than two years; being treacherously slain by Neriglissorus, his own sister’s husband; as Berosus, {a} cited by Josephus, {b} writeth: and some hold it probable from this text, that Jechoniah also died about the same time, being seven and fifty years of age.
{a} Rer. Chaldaic., lib. xxx.
{b} Lib. i., cont. Apion.
