2 Kings 24:9 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And he did that which was evil... — Ezekiel 19:5-9 refers to him, according to Keil and Ewald; but Thenius asks how, in his position, and during his brief reign of ninety (?) days, a considerable number of which must probably be allowed for the siege, he could possibly do what is there described. Hitzig refers the passage to Zedekiah; and so Thenius. Josephus calls Jehoiachin “naturally good and just;” probably misunderstanding the words of Jeremiah 22:24; Jeremiah 22:28.

2 Kings 24:9

9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
