2 KINGS CHAPTER 24
Jehoiakim, first subdued by Nebuchadnezzar, rebelleth against him to his own ruin: Jehoiachin his son is king in his stead, 2Ki_24:1-6. His evil reign: Jerusalem spoiled and made captive by the king of Babylon, 2Ki_24:8-16. He maketh Zedekiah king: he reigneth ill, unto the utter destruction of Judah, 2Ki_24:17-20.
In his days, i.e. in Jehoiakim’s reign, in the end of his third year, Dan_1:1, or the beginning of his fourth, Jer_25:1, Nebuchadnezzar; the son of Nabopolassar, who quite subdued the Assyrian, first his lord, and then his competitor, and made himself absolute monarch of all those parts of the world. Came up, to wit, against Jehoiakim, as the friend and confederate of Pharaoh, whose forces he had lately conquered, Jer_46:2. He turned and rebelled against him, by the instigation of the Egyptian, who threatened him if he did not rebel, and promised him his utmost assistance if he did.
