23:30
And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz, the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.
Καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱὸν Ἰωσίου, καὶ ἔχρισαν αὐτὸν, καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

36:2 Viginti trium annorum erat Joachaz cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Jerusalem.
Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
2 Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ τριῶν ἐτῶν Ἰωάχαζ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ τρίμηνον ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, 2a καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀμιτὰλ, θυγάτηρ Ἱερεμίου ἐκ Λοβνά· 2b καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ· 2c καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ ἐν Δεβλαθὰ ἐν γῇ Αἰμὰθ, τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.

36:3 Amovit autem eum rex Aegypti cum venisset in Jerusalem, et condemnavit terram centum talentis argenti, et talento auri.
*H And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Ver. 3. Him. Joachaz had attempted to defend himself, and had been conducted prisoner to Reblatha. 4 K. xxiii. 33. and Ezec. xix. 4. He was now deposed in form, and a tribute laid upon the people. C.
Καὶ μετήγαγεν αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐπέβαλε φόρον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ἑκατὸν τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ τάλαντον χρυσίου.

Matthew
1:11
And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon.
*H And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him and carried him away into Egypt.
Ver. 4. Brother. From the time of David, the son had always succeeded his father. W.
Καὶ κατέστησε Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ τὸν Ἐλιακὶμ υἱὸν Ἰωσίου βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰούδα ἀντὶ Ἰωσίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετέστρεψε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωακίμ· καὶ τὸν Ἰωαχαζ ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἔλαβε Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ· 4a καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἔδωκε τῷ Φαραῷ· τότε ἤρξατο ἡ γῆ φορολογεῖσθαι τοῦ δοῦναι τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ στόμα Φαραώ· καὶ ἕκαστος κατὰ δύναμιν ἀπῄτει τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς, δοῦναι Φαραῷ Νεχαῷ.

36:5 Viginti quinque annorum erat Joakim cum regnare coepisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem : fecitque malum coram Domino Deo suo.
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.
Ὢν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν Ἰωακὶμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἕνδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ζεχωρὰ, θυγάτηρ Νηρίου ἐκ Ῥαμά. καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες αὐτοῦ. 5a Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἦλθε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἦν αὐτῷ δουλεύων τρία ἔτη, καὶ ἀπέστη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ· 5b καὶ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τοὺς Χαλδαίους, καὶ λῃστήρια Σύρων, καὶ λῃστήρια Μωαβιτῶν, καὶ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ τῆς Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἀπέστησαν μετὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν· 5c πλὴν θυμὸς Κυρίου ἦν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, τοῦ ἀποστῆναι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας Μανασσῆ ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐποίησε, 5d καὶ ἐν αἵματι ἀθώῳ ᾧ ἐξέχεεν Ἰωακὶμ, καὶ ἔπλησε τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ αἵματος ἀθώου, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Κύριος ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτούς.

36:6 Contra hunc ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Chaldaeorum, et vinctum catenis duxit in Babylonem.
*H Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.
Ver. 6. Babylon, but sent him back soon after; (T.) unless he altered his first design, (D.) and slew him disgracefully at Jerusalem. Lyran. E. C. 4 K. xxiii. 5. — He allowed him to reign as a vassal other three years, but took Daniel, &c. captives. The seventy years of Jeremias, (xxv. 11.) are to be dated from this event. A. 3402. Usher.
Καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν χαλκαῖς πέδαις, καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

36:7 Ad quam et vasa Domini transtulit, et posuit ea in templo suo.
*H And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.
Ver. 7. The vessels. Heb. and Sept. "a part of the vessels;" probably the most precious, (v. 10) breaking the rest in pieces, as he left none behind, v. 18. — Temple of his God. Dan. i. 2.
Καὶ μήρος τῶν σκευῶν σἴκου Κυρίου ἀπήνεγκεν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι.

36:8 Reliqua autem verborum Joakim, et abominationum ejus quas operatus est, et quae inventa sunt in eo, continentur in libro regum Juda et Israel. Regnavit autem Joachin filius ejus pro eo.
*H But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
Ver. 8. In him. The Jews explain this of the diabolical characters forbidden, Lev. xix. 28. Carthusian. R. Sal. &c. — But it may simply denote the hidden sins of the king, which God will bring to light, or his rebellious conduct. Amama. Gen. xliv. 16. C.
Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωακὶμ καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα; καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωακὶμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν γανοζαὴ μετὰ τὼν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰεχονίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

36:9 Octo annorum erat Joachin cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus ac decem diebus regnavit in Jerusalem : fecitque malum in conspectu Domini.
*H Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
Ver. 9. Eight years old. He was associated by his father to the kingdom, when he was but eight years old; but after his father's death, when he reigned alone, he was eighteen years old. 4 K. xxiv. 8. Ch. — He only enjoyed the throne three months and ten days. T. — We must however observe, (H.) that the Alex. Sept. the Syr. and Arab. read here, eighteen. C. — "It is, in my opinion, a pity that the translators have not mended such apparent errata of the scribe of the present Heb. out of 2 K. xxiv. 8, or out of Sept. or out of common sense." Wall. Kennicott. — These eight years may be dated from the captivity, and not from the king's birth. Usher. D.
Ὀκτὼ ἐτῶν Ἰεχονίας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ τρίμηνον καὶ δέκα ἡμέρας ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.

Jeremias
37:1
Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda.
*H And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.
Ver. 10. Year, in spring, when kings go out to war. C. — Uncle. Sept. "brother of his father," which comes to the same sense, and was certainly the case. Heb. "his brother." Abraham indeed gives the title to his nephew. Gen. xiii. 8. C.
Καὶ ἐπιστρέφοντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ, ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονόσορ, καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα μετὰ τῶν σκευῶν τῶν ἐπιθυμητῶν οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Σεδεκίαν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

36:12 fecitque malum in oculis Domini Dei sui, nec erubuit faciem Jeremiae prophetae, loquentis ad se ex ore Domini.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κορίου Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἐνετράπη ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἱερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου καὶ ἐκ στόματος Κυρίου,

*H He also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning to the Lord the God of Israel.
Ver. 13. By God, to be faithful. T. — This enhances his crime. C.

Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
Καὶ πάντες οἱ ἔνδοξοι Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἐπλήθυναν τοῦ ἀθετῆσαι ἀθετήματα βδελυγμάτων ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐμίαναν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου τὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.

36:15 Mittebat autem Dominus Deus patrum suorum ad illos per manum nuntiorum suorum de nocte consurgens, et quotidie commonens : eo quod parceret populo et habitaculo suo.
*H And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and his dwelling place.
Ver. 15. Early. Prot. "betimes, and sending: because," &c. H. — Like a good master, God (T.) sent his servants to work at day-break, (H.) omitting nothing to induce them to return to him, that he might not be forced to punish them with severity. C.
Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐν χειρὶ τῶν προθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ὀρθρίζων καὶ ἀποστέλλων τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἦν φειδόμενος τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῦ ἁγιάσματος αὐτοῦ.

*H But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.
Ver. 16. Remedy. All attempts to convert them proved in vain; (T.) and God, perceiving that they even despised his calls, became inexorable. C.
Καὶ ἦσαν μυκτηρίζοντες τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντες τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐμπαίζοντες ἐν τοῖς προφήταις αὐτοῦ, ἕως ἀνέβη ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου ἐν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, ἕως οὐκ ἦν ἴαμα.

For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands.
Καὶ ἤγαγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς βασιλέα Χαλδαίων, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἐν οἴκῳ ἁγιάσματος αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσατο τοῦ Σεδεκίου, καὶ τὰς παρθένους αὐτῶν οὐκ ἠλέησε, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους αὐτῶν ἀπήγαγον· τὰ πάντα παρέδωκεν ἐν χερσὶν αὐτῶν.

Ver. 18. Vessels. Only a few remained, to be restored by Cyrus, v. 19. C.
Καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ τὰ μεγάλα καὶ τὰ μικρὰ, καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς, οἴκου καὶ Κυρίου, καὶ πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν μεγιστάνων, πάντα εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

*H That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
Ver. 21. Sabbaths, every seventh year. Lev. xxv. 2. and xxvi. 43. Jer. xxv. 11. and xxix. 10. — Expired: not that the earth was quite neglected, all that time, from the third year of Joakim, A.M. 3398 till 3468. C. — But it was almost: particularly after the murder of Godolias, (M.) the public worship was at a stand, &c.

*H But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfil the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, king of the Persians: who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying:
Ver. 22. First. Cyrus had ruled over Persia from A. 3444. He was now emperor of the East. A. 3468. C. — These two verses are repeated by Esdras, which evinces that he was the author of this work also, (T.) adding them when he restored (W.) or revised (H.) the holy scriptures. W.

*H Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
