VERSE 6 
 - A.M. 3405.  B.C. 599.  slept
  As Jehoiakim was "buried with the burial of an ass," by being
  "drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem," without
  internment, the expression "slept with his fathers," can only
  mean that the died, or slept the sleep of death.  In the East,
  a body exposed during the night would be a prey to wild
  animals; if any of it were left till the morning, the
  carnivorous birds would devour it.

   * 2Ch 36:6,8 Jer 22:18,19; 36:30
- Jehoiachin.
  As this man reigned only three months, and was a mere vassal
  of the king of Babylon, his reign is scarcely reckoned; and
  therefore Jeremiah (ch. 30 31:30) says of Jehoiakim, "he shall
  have none to sit upon the throne of David."

   * Mt 1:11,12
- Jechonias.
- eighteen years.
  In the parallel place, he is said to be only eight years old;
  but this must be a mistake, for we find that having reigned
  only three months, he was carried captive to Babylon, and
  there had wives; and had he been of such a tender age, it
  could scarcely have been said that, as a king, "he did that
  which was evil in the sight of the Lord."

   * 2Ch 36:9


VERSE 9 
 - evil.
  Young renders, "the evil thing," noting, "that is, idolatry."

  The change of name was to shew Nebuchadnezzar's supremacy, and
  that Zedekiah was only his vassal or viceroy.  The custom of
  changing names, we are assured by travellers, still exists in
  the East.
