24:6 So Jehoiakim {c} slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
(c) Not that he was buried with his fathers, but he died in the way, as they let him prisoner toward Babylon, see Jer 22:19.
24:6 With his fathers - But it is not said, he was buried with them. No doubt the prophecy of Jeremiah was fulfilled, that he should not be lamented as his father was, but buried with the burial of an ass.
24:1-7 If Jehoiakim had served the Lord, he had not been servant to Nebuchadnezzar. If he had been content with his servitude, and true to his word, his condition had been no worse; but, rebelling against Babylon, he plunged himself into more trouble. See what need nations have to lament the sins of their fathers, lest they smart for them. Threatenings will be fulfilled as certainly as promises, if the sinner's repentance prevent not.
