Ezekiel 19:5 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Then she took another of her whelps— Hereby is meant Jeconiah, who was placed upon the throne of Jerusalem by the Jews. The character which the prophet here gives of him, agrees perfectly well with him, and with him alone. His cruelty and wickedness are described in Ezekiel 19:6-7. Exodus 24:8-9 and Jer. xxii, &c. His capture and captivity in Babylon are expressed Ezekiel 19:8-9, and in the other books of Scripture which we have quoted.

Ezekiel 19:5
