Therefore this is what the LORD says
This phrase underscores the divine authority and certainty of the message. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God, emphasizing His covenant relationship with Israel. The phrase indicates a direct communication from God, highlighting the seriousness and inevitability of the prophecy.

about Jehoiakim king of Judah
Jehoiakim was a king of Judah who reigned from 609 to 598 BC. His reign was marked by idolatry and rebellion against God. Historically, Jehoiakim was a vassal to Egypt and later to Babylon, reflecting the political instability of the time. His actions led to God's judgment, as he failed to heed prophetic warnings.

He will have no one to sit on the throne of David
This phrase signifies the end of Jehoiakim's dynastic line on the throne, a severe judgment given the Davidic covenant, which promised a lasting dynasty. The Hebrew concept of "throne" symbolizes not just political power but also divine favor and legitimacy. This prophecy was fulfilled as Jehoiakim's son, Jehoiachin, reigned only briefly before being taken into Babylonian captivity.

his body will be thrown out
In ancient Near Eastern culture, proper burial was crucial for honor and legacy. The phrase indicates a disgraceful end, reflecting divine judgment. The lack of burial was a sign of ultimate shame and rejection, both by people and by God.

and exposed to heat by day and frost by night
This imagery of exposure to the elements conveys the totality of divine judgment. The harshness of the environment symbolizes the severity of God's wrath. In the Hebrew context, such exposure was a fate reserved for the most dishonored, emphasizing the complete rejection of Jehoiakim due to his disobedience and defiance against God.

Verse 30. - He shall have none to sit, etc. Substantially a repetition of the prophecy in Jeremiah 22:18, 19 (comp. 30).
