concerning Jehoiakim] Which name was given him by Pharaoh Nechoh, whereas before he was called Eliakim. 1 Kings 23:34. He is also called Joakim, a name for signification well agreeing with the former, 1 Chron. 3. 15. where he is said to be the second son of Josiah; though indeed by two yeers elder then Johoahaz, 1 King. 23. 31, 36. because his brother was by the vote of the State preferred before him to the crown: 1 Kin. 23. 30. howbeit Nechoh upon his return reversed their choice, and setled the Kingdom upon the right heir, 2 King. 23. 33, 34.
They shall not lament for him,] Because every one shall have matter enough of lamentation for himself; or, because he shall have no solemn funerall, Chap. 16. 6. and 34. 5.
A my brother] 1 Kings 13:30.
