Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 36:6
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
6. Nebuchadnezzar ] A more accurate form of his name is “Nebuchadrezzar” (so generally in Jeremiah and Ezekiel); in the Inscriptions “Na-bi-um-ku-du-ur-ri-u-u-ur,” also “Nab-ku-dur-ri-u-u-ur,” the meaning being, “O Nebo (one of the gods of Babylon; cp. Isa 46:1), protect the crown ( or the boundary)!” He reigned from 604 561 b.c., and was succeeded by Evil-Merodach (Amil-Marduk). The only purely historical inscription relating to his reign deals with a campaign in Egypt in 568 b.c.; cp. Jer 43:11.
Nebuchadnezzar ] It seems probable that Nebuchadnezzar did not in person come up against Jerusalem at the end of Jehoiakim’s reign, nor in person carry off any of the sacred vessels; it is likely moreover that Jehoiakim was not carried to Babylon. The result of Jehoiakim’s rebellion against Nebuchadnezzar was according to 2 Kin. simply that “bands” of Chaldeans and their allies invaded Judah. Probably Jehoiakim’s life and reign came to an end ( how we do not know; cp. Jer 22:18-19) during this petty warfare, and then three months later, the main Chaldean army under Nebuchadnezzar having arrived, Jerusalem was taken, and Jehoiakim’s son and successor Jehoiachin was carried off with the golden vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon. The Chronicler seems to foreshorten the history at this point.

Verse 6. Came up Nebuchadnezzar] 2Kg 24:1. Archbishop Usher believes that Jehoiakim remained three years after this tributary to the Chaldeans, and that it is from this period that the seventy years’ captivity, predicted by Jeremiah, is to be reckoned.

6. Against him came upNebuchadnezzar king of BabylonThis refers to the firstexpedition of Nebuchadnezzar against Palestine, in the lifetime ofhis father Nabopolassar, who, being old and infirm, adopted his sonas joint sovereign and despatched him, with the command of his army,against the Egyptian invaders of his empire. Nebuchadnezzar defeatedthem at Carchemish, drove them out of Asia, and reduced all theprovinces west of the Euphrates to obedienceamong the rest thekingdom of Jehoiakim, who became a vassal of the Assyrian empire (2Ki24:1). Jehoiakim at the end of three years threw off the yoke,being probably instigated to revolt by the solicitations of the kingof Egypt, who planned a new expedition against Carchemish. But he wascompletely vanquished by the Babylonian king, who stripped him of allhis possessions between the Euphrates and the Nile (2Ki24:7). Then marching against the Egyptian’s ally in Judah, hetook Jerusalem, carried away a portion of the sacred vessels of thetemple, perhaps in lieu of the unpaid tribute, and deposited them inthe temple of his god, Belus, at Babylon (Dan 1:2;Dan 5:2). Though Jehoiakim hadbeen taken prisoner (and it was designed at first to transport him inchains to Babylon), he was allowed to remain in his tributarykingdom. But having given not long after some new offense, Jerusalemwas besieged by a host of Assyrian dependents. In a sally againstthem Jehoiakim was killed (see on 2Ki24:2-7; also Jer 22:18;Jer 22:19; Jer 36:30).

2Ch 36:6. And bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon But he did not carry him thither, for Nebuchadnezzar altered his mind, and permitted him to reign at Jerusalem as his tributary, though he carried away, as it follows, some of the vessels of the temple, and also certain principal persons, as we read in the first of Daniel.
