Weep not for Josiah your dead prince, for whom there was a great mourning, 2 Chronicles 35:25, mentioned Malachi 12:11. Josiah is happy, you need not trouble yourselves for him; but weep for Jehoahaz, who is to go, or is gone, into captivity: Jehoahaz was set up upon his father's death by the people, 2 Kings 23:30 2 Chronicles 36:1, but, Jeremiah 22:3, put down within three months, and carried into Egypt, Jeremiah 22:4, where he died, 2 Kings 23:34; so as he no more returned into Judah. The participle being in the present tense, inclineth me to think that this prophecy was long before that in the former chapter, soon after the death of Josiah, upon the people's setting up of Jehoahaz in his stead, or presently after he was carried away. Some interpret this of the people that were dead, and those that were going into captivity; but the next verse makes it the more probable that it is to be understood of Josiah and Jehoahaz.
