Jeconiahs mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem, 2Ki 24:8; Jer 22:12, the fulfilling of this prophecy is recorded; and it is said that Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, &c., so Jer 22:15, together with eight thousand prisoners of the meaner sort, besides princes and nobles.

And I will cast thee out,…. Out of his palace, out of the city of Jerusalem, and out of the land of Judea:
and thy mother that bare thee; who very probably was a bad woman, and had brought up her son in an evil way, and had led him on and encouraged him in it, by her own example, and had been a partner with him in his sins: her name was Nehushta, a daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem; and as it was here predicted of her, so it was accomplished,
2Ki 24:8; it is very likely Jeconiah had no children before the captivity, since no mention is made of them, only of his mother that was cast out with him:
into another country, where ye were not born; the land of Chaldea, which was not the native place neither of him nor his mother; being both, as it seems probable, horn in Jerusalem, or however in Judea:
and there shall ye die; both he and his mother; and so the Arabic version expresses it, “and there shall ye both die”; as no doubt they did, though we have no particular account of their death; as for Jeconiah, he lived a long time in captivity; it was in the “thirty seventh” year of his captivity that Evilmerodach king of Babylon showed favour to him above all the captive kings that were with him, and continued it to his death; but how long after that was is not known; see
Jer 52:31.

Here, again, the Prophet confirms what he had said of the severe vengeance which God would take on Jeconiah. And though he was in his thirty-seventh year brought out of prison, and admitted unto the royal table, among other princes, he yet died in exile; and perhaps it would have been better for him to continue in prison till his death than to have been corrupted by allurements when he became one of the princes, for he thus defiled himself. However this may have been, he died in exile together with his mother Nehusta.
The Prophet then enhanced the grievousness of his punishment by saying, I will cause thee to migrate, or cast thee out, (67) and thy mother who bare thee. It is added, for the sake of indignity, that the mother of the king would be led captive with him; for the female sex is often spared, and she was also advanced in years. But God executed upon her his judgment, because she was his associate in impiety: “I will remove you,” he says, “into foreign lands, in which ye were not born, and there ye shall die.”
(67) The word is strong; it means to toss, to hurl, violently to cast forth, to throw with force, as one throws a missile weapon. See 1Sa 28:11. The “ mittam “ of the Vulg. is too weak; the “ ἀποῤῥίψω ” of the Sept. is more suitable. — Ed

(26) Thy mother that bare thee.The youth of Coniah probably led to his mother assuming the authority of a queen-regent. She directed the policy of his brief reign, and shared in his downfall. Her name, Nehushta, is given in 2Ki. 24:8, and in Jer. 29:2 she is named as the gebirah, the great lady or princess-queen.

Jer 22:26. The other country was Babylon and mention was made of his not being born there to emphasize the fact of its being a foreign land. There shall ye die. In 2Ki 25:30 it Is stated that certain treatments were accorded Coniah in Babylon all the days of his life. That would mean he lived hiB entire life in Babylon after being taken there which fulfills the prediction in the present verse. The Biblical account of the capture of this man and his relatives is given in 2Ki 24:10-16.

But Yahweh would not reluctantly hand over Coniah; He would hurl him into a foreign country where he would die. His mother, the powerful queen mother, Nehushta, would go with him (cf. Jer 13:18; 2Ki 24:8; 2Ki 24:11-12). They would not be able to return to their native land (cf. Jer 52:31-34; 2Ki 25:27-30). Mordecai and Ezekiel traveled to Babylon in the same group of exiles (Est 2:5-7; Eze 1:1-2).
