2 Re 24:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 18-20. Zedekiah was twenty years old when he began to reign,
&c.] So that he was but between nine and ten years of age when his father Josiah died; for Jehoahaz reigned three months, Jehoiakim eleven years, and his son three months and ten days:

and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was
Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah;
by which it appears that he was the brother of Jehoahaz by father and mother's side, ( 2 Kings 23:31 ) . This and the two following verses are expressed in the same words as in ( Jeremiah 52:1-3 ) , (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:1), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:2), (See Gill on Jeremiah 52:3), in ( 2 Chronicles 36:10 2 Chronicles 36:13 ) , besides what is here said, is written, that he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet of the Lord, that spoke in his name, but opposed him; and rebelling against the king of Babylon, broke his oath, and hardened his neck and heart against the Lord, and was obstinate, stubborn, and self-willed.

2 Re 24:18 In-Context

16 insieme con tutti gli uomini di valore, ch’erano in numero di settemila; ed i legnaiuoli e ferraiuoli, ch’erano mille; tutti uomini valenti, e guerrieri; e il re di Babilonia li menò in cattività in Babilonia.

17 E IL re di Babilonia costituì re, in luogo di Gioiachin, Mattania, zio di esso, e gli mutò il nome in Sedechia.

18 Sedechia era d’età di ventun anno, quando cominciò a regnare; e regnò in Gerusalemme undici anni. E il nome di sua madre era Hamutal, figliuola di Geremia, da Libna.

19 Ed egli fece quello che dispiace al Signore, interamente come avea fatto Gioiachim;

20 perciocchè l’ira del Signore venne fino all’estremo contro a Gerusalemme, e contro a Giuda, finchè egli li ebbe scacciati dal suo cospetto. E Sedechia si ribellò dal re di Babilonia.
