Jeremiah 22
1. He exhorts to repentance, with promises and threats.
10. The judgment of Shallum;
13. of Jehoiakim;
20. and of Coniah.














but he will die
The phrase "but he will die" speaks to the certainty of the judgment pronounced by God. In the Hebrew text, the word for "die" is "מוּת" (muth), which is often used in the Old Testament to denote not just physical death but also a spiritual or covenantal separation from God. This highlights the finality and seriousness of the consequences of disobedience to God's commands. The inevitability of death in exile underscores the theme of divine justice and the fulfillment of prophetic words.

in the place to which they have exiled him
The term "exiled" comes from the Hebrew root "גָּלָה" (galah), meaning to uncover or remove. Historically, exile was a common practice in the ancient Near East, used by conquering nations to weaken and control subjugated peoples. This phrase indicates not only a physical removal from one's homeland but also a stripping away of identity and status. The exile of the king, as referenced here, symbolizes the broader judgment on the nation of Judah for its unfaithfulness. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's covenant.

he will never see this land again
The phrase "he will never see this land again" emphasizes the permanence of the king's separation from his homeland. The land of Judah was not just a physical territory but a symbol of God's promise and blessing to His people. The Hebrew word for "land" is "אֶרֶץ" (eretz), which often carries connotations of inheritance and divine provision. The finality of never returning to the land signifies a complete severance from the blessings and promises associated with it. This serves as a poignant reminder of the loss that comes from disobedience and the breaking of covenantal relationships with God.

(12) Shall see this land no more.--There is no record of the duration of the life of Shallum in his Egyptian exile, but the total absence of his name in the history that follows is presumptive evidence of the fulfilment of the prediction. There is no trace of his being alive when the prophet is dragged by his countrymen to Egypt (Jeremiah 43:6-7).
