    2 Chronicles 36

    We have here, I. A short but sad account of the utter ruin of Judah and Jerusalem within a few years after Josiah’s death. 1. The history of it in the unhappy reigns of Jehoahaz for three months (2 Chronicles 36:1-36:4), Jehoiakim (2 Chronicles 36:5-36:8) for eleven years, Jehoiach in three months (2 Chronicles 36:9, 36:10), and Zedekiah eleven years, 2 Chronicles 36:11. Additions were made to the national guilt, and advances towards the national destruction, in each of those reigns. The destruction was, at length, completed in the slaughter of multitudes (2 Chronicles 36:17), the plundering and burning of the temple and all the palaces, the desolation of the city (2 Chronicles 36:18, 36:19), and the captivity of the people that remained, 2 Chronicles 36:20. 2. Some remarks upon it—that herein sin was punished, Zedekiah’s wickedness (2 Chronicles 36:12, 36:13), the idolatry the people were guilty of (2 Chronicles 36:14), and their abuse of God’s prophets, 2 Chronicles 36:15, 36:16. The word of God was herein fulfilled, 2 Chronicles 36:21. II. The dawning of the day of their deliverance in Cyrus’s proclamation, 2 Chronicles 36:22, 36:23.MHBCC 404.1
