This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_22:18 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Ver. 18. They shall not lament for him.] By his exactions he had so far lost his people’s affections, that none were found, either of his allies or others, that bewailed his death; but, Jehoram-like as he had lived undesired, so he died unlamented Edwin-like, as he lived wickedly, so he died wishedly; {a} Mohammed-like, he lived feared of all men, and died bewailed of none. {b} See the contrary promised to his brother Zedekiah, for his courtesy to Jeremiah, Jer_34:5.
