Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 25. - If Jeremiah's lamenting on this occasion was one committed to writing, it has not survived. To this day; i.e. probably anniversary after anniversary to the time of the writer to whom this statement belongs, the authority from which our compiler draws his materials. Written in the lamentations. We have here another glimpse of a work which has not been handed down to us.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) And Jeremiah lamented--i.e., wrote a dirge. The special mourning of the land over Josiah is not mentioned in Kings.The singing men . . . women.--The LXX. has "the ruling men . . . women," reading s?rim . . . s?roth, instead of sh?rim . . . sh?roth.Spake of Josiah in their lamentations.--In the dirges which they used to sing on certain anniversaries of disaster.And made them an ordinance.--And they made them (i.e. the laments for Josiah) a standing custom to Israel.They are written in the lamentations.--The dirges alluding to Josiah's untimely end, and among them Jeremiah's, were preserved in a Book of Dirges (qinoth), which may have been extant in the chronicler's day. (Comp. the allusions in Jeremiah 22:10; Jeremiah 22:18; Zechariah 12:11.)This collection, however, was quite different from the canonical book of Lamentations, the subject of which is the ruin of Judah and Jerusalem by the Chaldeans. . . .
