Commentary on Jeremiah 22:30

Theological / Devotional

Childless. The latter half of v. 30 explains this to mean that none of Jehoiachin’s “seed” (see on v. 28), or offspring, would sit on his throne. Neither Jehoiachin’s immediate children nor his later descendants ever ruled over Judah. Even when Zerubbabel became the leader of the Jews that returned from the Captivity he did not rule as king (see PK 451).
