Commentary on 2 Kings 24:17
Theological / DevotionalMattaniah. The brother of Jehoiakim, and son of Josiah. He was thus the third son of Josiah to rule upon the throne of Judah (see 1 Chron. 3:15).
Zedekiah. Literally, “righteousness of Jehovah,” or, “Jehovah is righteousness.” Perhaps the Hebrews had something to say about the names they were given by their suzerains, for Nebuchadnezzar would hardly have chosen this name.
