Commentary on Jeremiah 22:26

Theological / Devotional

Thy mother. On account of Jehoiachin’s youth when he ascended the throne, it is very likely his mother, Nehushta (2 Kings 24:8; Jer. 29:2), wielded great influence during her son’s reign (see on Jer. 13:18). Because of this, when Coniah’s reign came to an end, her power also ended.

Into another country. Both mother and son were carried as captives to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer. 29:1, 2; cf. 2 Kings 24:10-15).
