Context of 2 Chronicles 36:10

8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 9Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. 11Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: 12and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.

Commentaries on 2 Chronicles 36:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Made Zedekiah - king - His name was at first Mattaniah, but the king of Babylon changed it to Zedekiah. See 2 Kings 24:17; (note), and the notes there.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10When the year was expired - literally, as in the margin, i. e. at the return of the season for military expeditions.

He was nearly of the same age with Jehoiachin, and is called here his…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-10The Chronicler focuses on Jehoiachin’s brief reign by mentioning his exile and the tribute paid from the temple instruments.

On the second day of the month of Adar, he seized the city and captured the king.”…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 9-109-10.
