Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 22:26

"And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die." — Jeremiah 22:26 (ASV)

Thy mother that bare thee. —The youth of Coniah probably led to his mother assuming the authority of a queen-regent. She directed the policy of his brief reign, and shared in his downfall. Her name, Nehushta, is given in 2 Kings 24:8, and in Jeremiah 29:2 she is named as the gebirah, the “great lady” or “princess-queen.”
