Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim; and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Among the acts of Jehoiakim recorded elsewhere in the Old Testament, the most remarkable are the following: (1) His execution of Urijah the son of Shemaiah (Jeremiah 26:23); (2) his destruction of the first collection of the early prophecies made by Jeremiah, in a fit of anger at hearing its contents (Jeremiah 36:20-23); (3) his order that Jeremiah and Baruch should be arrested (Jeremiah 36:26); . . .

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim . . .--Assuming with Hitzig that the passage Habakkuk 2:9-14 refers to him, we gather that he severely oppressed his people by his exactions of forced labour upon the defences of Jerusalem. Thenius concludes from the words, "that he may set his nest on high," &c., that Jehoiakim strengthened and enlarged the fortress on Ophel erected by Manasseh. (Comp. also Jeremiah 22:13-17.)Are they not written . . .--The last reference to this authority. Bahr concludes that the work did not extend beyond the reign of Jehoiakim.
