She took another; yet it is said, 2Ch_36:4 2Ki_23:34, that the king of Egypt made the next king: both true; the Jews with Pharaoh’s liking, or Pharaoh with the Jews’ consent, advance him, whether it were Jehoiakim or Jehoiachin.
Made him a young lion; king, and infused the lion-like maxims for his rules.
