Verse 19

Rather, the people would treat his corpse with great disrespect. They would give him a burial similar to that of a donkey (or Jezebel), which people dragged outside the city gate and left to rot (cf. Jeremiah 36:30; 1 Kings 21:23-24). Josephus wrote that Nebuchadnezzar had his body thrown before the walls without any burial (cf. 2 Kings 24:6). [Note: Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 10:6:3.]

Of some people the Bible says nothing bad, but of Jehoiakim it says nothing good. [Note: Goddard, p. 100.]
