William Bennett - Expositor's Bible - The Book of Jeremiah, Chapters XXI.-LII.

Jude 9.

Apc. vi. 10.

xxii. 17. The exact meaning of the word translated "violence" (so A.V., R.V.) is very doubtful.

Hist. , etc., iii. 266.

Rawlinson, Ancient Egypt (Story of the Nations).

Dan. iv. 30.

I have followed R.V., but the text is probably corrupt. Cheyne follows LXX. (A) in reading "because thou viest with Ahab": LXX. (B) has "Ahaz" (so Ewald). Giesebrecht proposes to neglect the accents and translate, "viest in cedar buildings with thy father" ( i. e. Solomon).

According to Giesebrecht (cf. however the last note) this clause is an objection which the prophet puts into the mouth of the king. "My father enjoyed the good things of life – why should not I?" The prophet rejoins, "Nay, but he did judgment," etc.

Isa. lvii. (English Versions).

Macc. ii. 59, ix. 10.

iii. 269.

P. 142.

Also called Coniah and Jeconiah.

Considerable portions of chaps. i. – xx. are referred to the reigns of Jehoiakim and Jehoiachin: see previous volume on Jeremiah.

i. 18.

The Chronicler's account of Jehoiakim's end (2 Chron. xxviii. 6-8) is due to a misunderstanding of the older records. According to Chronicles Jehoiachin was only eight, but all our data indicate that Kings is right.

In LXX. of 2 Chron. xxxvi. 8, Jehoiakim, like Manasseh and Amon, was "buried in the garden of Uzza": B, Ganozæ; A, Ganozan. Cheyne is inclined to accept this statement, which he regards as derived from tradition.

xxxvi. 30.

So A. B. Davidson in Cambridge Bible, etc., by a slight conjectural emendation; there have been many other suggested corrections of the text. The Hebrew text as it stands would mean literally "he knew their widows" (R.V. margin); A.V., R.V., by a slight change, "he knew their (A.V. desolate) palaces."

Ezek. xix. 5-7.

2 Kings xxiv. 8-17.

2 Kings xxv. 27-30; Jer. lii. 31-34.

The Hebrew verbs are in 2 s. fem.; the person addressed is not named, but from analogy she can only be the "Daughter of Zion," i. e. Jerusalem personified.

Identified with the mountains of Moab.

R.V. margin, with LXX., Vulg., and Syr.

Milman's Latin Christianity , vi. 392.

1 Chron. iii. 17 mentions the "sons" of Jeconiah, and in Matt. i. 12 Shealtiel is called his "son," but in Luke iii. 27 Shealtiel is called the son of Neri.
