Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - Jehoiakim's miserable death, without even the honor of burial. The prediction is repeated in Jeremiah 36:30, where the statement is made in plain language. At first sight it appears to conflict with 2 Kings 24:6, "So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead;" but it is only appearance, and when we remember that the complete formula for describing the natural death of a king of Judah is, "slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David" (1 Kings 14:31; 1 Kings 15:24; 1 Kings 22:50; 2 Kings 8:24; 2 Kings 15:7, 38; 2 Kings 16:20), and that the phrase, "slept with his fathers," is used of Ahab, who fell on the field of battle (1 Kings 22:40), we are naturally led to the conjecture that Jehoiakim did not die a natural death, but fell in battle in some sally made by the besieged. Buried with the burial of an ass; i.e. cast out unburied. Beyond the gates; rather, far from the gates.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) He shall be buried with the burial of an ass.--The same prediction appears in another form in Jeremiah 36:30. The body of the king was "to be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost." We have no direct record of its fulfilment, but its reproduction shows that the prophet's word had not failed. The king was dragged in chains with the other captives, who were being carried off to Babylon (2Chronicles 36:6), and probably died on the journey, his corpse left behind unburied as the army marched. The phrase "he slept with his fathers" in 2Kings 24:6 cannot be pressed as meaning more than the mere fact of death. So Ahab, who died in battle, "slept with his fathers" (1Kings 22:40).
