Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 36:27

"Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying," — Jeremiah 36:27 (ASV)

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. This was probably during the concealment of the two friends. To the command given at that time, we probably owe the present form of Jeremiah 25—perhaps also of the earlier chapters of the book.

But, in addition to reproducing the judgment pronounced against the nation at large, there was now a special prediction concerning Jehoiakim himself:

1. He was to have “none to sit upon the throne of David.” As a matter of fact, he was succeeded by his son Jehoiachin (or Jeconiah). However, the reign of the boy-prince as a tributary king lasted for only three months, and Zedekiah, who succeeded him, was Jehoiakim’s brother, not his son .

2. His dead body was to be “cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.” The same prediction is found in Jeremiah 22:18-19, written probably after the incident recorded here. See the note there regarding its fulfillment.
