Came not again any more— Or, Came no more as yet. 2 Kings 24:8. Jehoiachin was eighteen years old, &c.] There is a great difference between this passage and 2 Chronicles 36:9 where it is said that Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign. But both the Syriac and Arabic versions read eighteen in that place in the Chronicles. Jehoiachin's succeeding his father in the throne of Judah may seem to disagree with the threat which the prophet denounces against his father, Jeremiah 36:30. He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; but as Jehoiachin's reign lasted little more than three months, during which time he was absolutely subject to the Chaldeans, a reign of so short continuance, and of so small authority, may well-be looked upon as nothing. See Ezekiel 19:6; Ezekiel 19:14.
