Context of 2 Kings 24:7

5Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? 6So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin became king in his place. No longer did the king of Egypt march out of his country, for the king of Babylon had seized all the land that once belonged to the king of Egypt, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River. 8Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnatan of Jerusalem. 9But he did what was evil in Adonai’s eyes, like all his father had done.

Commentaries on 2 Kings 24:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7The king of Egypt came not again - He was so crushed by the Babylonians that he was obliged to confine himself within the limits of his own states, and could no more attempt any conquests. The text tells us how much he had lost by the Babylonians. See on 2 Kings 24:1; (note).Read the comment

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7The king of Egypt stayed in his country because Nebuchadnezzar was too powerful. Judah's hope for help from Egypt was useless (see Jeremiah 2:36; 46:2–12; Ezekiel 29:6, 16). The Brook of Egypt is thought to be either the Wadi el-Arish near the Nile delta or Nahal Besor, south of Gaza.Read the comment
