Commentary
2 Chronicles 36 is a chapter that recounts the history of the kings of Judah from the time of King Josiah to the Babylonian exile. It begins with the reign of King Josiah, who was a righteous king who sought to restore the worship of the Lord in Judah. He was succeeded by his son Jehoahaz, who was deposed by Pharaoh Neco and replaced by his brother Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim was a wicked king who refused to listen to the warnings of the prophets and continued to lead Judah into idolatry and rebellion against God.
