JEREMIAH CHAPTER 36
Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his prophecy, and publicly to read it, Jer_36:1-10. The princes send to fetch the roll and read it, Jer_36:11-18. They advise Baruch and Jeremiah to hide themselves, Jer_36:19. The king Jehoiakim teareth part of the roll, and burneth it, Jer_36:20-26. Jeremiah denounceth his judgment, Jer_36:27-31. Baruch writeth a new copy, Jer_36:32.
Jehoiakim was three years a tributary to Nebuchadnezzar, as we read, 2Ki_24:1, then he rebelled; which three years are judged to be the sixth, seventh, and eighth years of his reign, for Pharaoh-nechoh set him up, to whom he was first a tributary, as we read, 2Ki_23:35. Pharaoh-nechoh having conquered him, Jehoiakim became servant to the conqueror three years, then rebelled; upon which the armies of the Chaldeans, with the Syrians, &c., came up against him, and carried him away. This word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the first year that he was tributary to the king of Babylon, which was the fourth year of his reign.
