Context of Jeremiah 22:11

9The answer will be: ‘They rejected the promise of the Lord their God. They worshiped other gods and served them.’ ” 10Don’t cry for the dead. Don’t shake your heads at them. Cry bitterly for those who are taken away, because they won’t come back to see their homeland. This is what the Lord says about King Josiah’s son Shallum, who succeeded his father as king of Judah and left this place: He will never come back here again. 12He will die in the place where he was taken captive, and he will never see this land again. 13“How horrible it will be for the person who builds his house dishonestly and his upper rooms through injustice. He makes his neighbors work for nothing and doesn’t pay them for their work.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10-12Verses 10-12 In the two foregoing prophecies Jeremiah stated the general principle on which depend the rise and downfall of kings and nations.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-19Verses 10-19 Here is a sentence of death upon two kings, the wicked sons of a very pious father. Josiah was prevented from seeing the evil to come in this world, and removed to see the good to come in the other world; therefore, weep not for him, but for his son Shallum, who is likely to live and die a wretched captive. Dying saints may be justly envied, while living sinners are justly pitied. Here also is the doom of Jehoiakim. No doubt it is lawful for…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-12King Josiah died in 609 BC, killed by the Egyptians at the Battle of Megiddo. The people of Judah were not to mourn his death. Instead, they should focus their sorrow on Josiah’s son, whom they had chosen as the new king. After three months, King Jehoahaz was exiled to Egypt, where he lived for the rest of his life (2 Kings 23:1–33; 2 Chronicles 36:1–8).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-1110-11. Weep ... not for--that is, not so much for Josiah, who was taken away by death from the evil to come (2Ki 22:20; Is 57:1); as for Shallum or Jehoahaz, his son (2Ki 23:30), who, after a three months' reign, was carried off by Pharaoh-necho into Egypt, never to see his native land again (2Ki 23:31-34). Dying saints are justly to be envied, while living sinners are to be pitied. The allusion is to the great weeping of the people at the death of…Read the comment
