For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum, etc.] Not Shallum the fourth son of Josiah, (<130315>1 Chronicles 3:15); for it is not likely that he should immediately succeed his father; nor Zedekiah, as Jarchi; nor Jeconiah, as Kimchi; but Jehoahaz, as Aben Ezra; who seems to have had several names, as Johanan, (<130315>1 Chronicles 3:15); and Shallum here: the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father; the same is said of Jehoahaz, (<143601>2 Chronicles 36:1); which went forth out of this place; out of Jerusalem, being put down there from his throne by Pharaohnecho, and carried by him into Egypt, (<143603>2 Chronicles 36:3,4); he shall not return thither any more; he died in Egypt, or however out of his own land; but was alive when this prophecy was delivered out, which was in the reign of his brother Jehoiakim, as some following verses show.
