Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:1

1. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon For more than half a century after Merodach-baladan, who was contemporary with Hezekiah, and whom Sennacherib defeated and deposed, (see note on 2 Kings 20:12,) Babylonia continued to be an Assyrian fief. But some time during the reign of Josiah, Nabopolassar, the viceroy, revolted from Assyria, and formed an alliance with Cyaxares, the great Median monarch, whom he also assisted in the capture and destruction of Nineveh. By mutual agreement between the... read more

2. The Lord sent In this verse and the next, the writer emphasizes the thought that the afflictions of Judah were a direct judgment of Jehovah for the sins of the nation, especially those of Manasseh.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 24:6

6. Jehoiakim slept with his fathers This expression does not necessarily imply that he had a peaceful death; and there is here no mention of his burial, as of other kings. Compare 2 Kings 23:30; 2 Kings 22:18; 2 Chronicles 32:33. Jeremiah prophesied of this king, “He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.” And again: “He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in... read more

Necho had finally retired from Asia after such losses that he could not venture again to meet his victorious enemy, and, therefore, Judah could expect no more support from him. Much... read more
