"For thus saith Jehovah touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, [and] who went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more." — Jeremiah 22:11 (ASV)
For thus says the Lord touching Shallum
Not Shallum the fourth son of Josiah, (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, (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, (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, (2 Chronicles 36:3 2 Chronicles 36:4) ; 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.
