Albert Barnes Commentary
"In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying," — Jeremiah 27:1 (ASV)
Of Jehoiakim - Really, of Zedekiah, as the Syriac reads . In the Septuagint the verse is missing. Some scribe has confused the title of this chapter with that of Jeremiah 26:0.
