Commentary
Commentary on Jeremiah 22:14
Theological / DevotionalA wide house. That is, “a large-sized house,” with large roof chambers (see on v. 13) and wide windows.
Cieled. Literally, “covered,” or “paneled.”
Vermilion. Probably the same red pigment that was used in the buildings of Assyria and Egypt (see Eze. 23:14). Possibly it was cinnabar, or red clay and oxide of iron. Jehoiakim very probably had the vain ambition to emulate the architectural glory of the Egyptian king Pharaoh-Necho, who had placed him on the throne (2 Kings 23:34).
