In those troublous days there was likely to be but little in store, so a tax was laid on the whole people.<\/p>\n 2Ki 23:36<\/strong><\/span> to 2Ki 24:7<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.

He had to pay for his elevation. The raising of the fine of 2Ki. 23:33<\/span> is described in this verse.<\/p>\n But he taxed . . .<\/strong>The king kept his pledge to Pharaoh, but not out of his own means. He exacted the money from the people of the land, i.e.<\/em>, the people of all classes, levying a fixed contribution even upon the poorest of his subjects. As in 2Ki. 11:14<\/span>; 2Ki. 14:21<\/span>; 2Ki. 21:24<\/span>, Thenius insists that the people of the land are the national militia<\/em>, and he renders: he exacted the silver and the gold, along with<\/em> (i.e.<\/em>, by the help of) the people of the land<\/em>. But this is, to say the least, very questionable. (See Note on 2Ki. 11:14<\/span>.)<\/p>\n (36) He reigned eleven years.<\/strong>Not eleven full years. (Comp. Jer. 25:1<\/span> with 2Ki. 24:12<\/span>; and Jeremiah 3<\/span> with 2Ki. 25:8<\/span>.)<\/p>\n His mothers name was Zebudah.<\/strong>So the Hebrew margin and Targum. Hebrew text, Syriac, Vulg., Arabic, Zebidah. Zebadiah<\/em> may have been the real name. The mother of Jehoahaz was Hamutal (2Ki. 23:31<\/span>). Thus Josiah had at least two wives, and probably more. (Comp. 2Ki. 24:15<\/span>.) He could not have been over fourteen when he begot Jehoiakim.<\/p>\n Rumah.<\/strong>Perhaps Arumah, near Shechem (Jdg. 9:41<\/span>), as Josephus has Abumah<\/em>. This is interesting as a slight indication that Josiahs power extended over the territory of the former kingdom of Samaria.<\/p>\n (37) He did that which was evil . . .<\/strong>Jeremiah represents him as luxurious, covetous, and violent (Jer. 22:13<\/span> seq<\/em>.). He murdered Urijah a prophet (Jer. 26:20<\/span> seq<\/em>.). Ewald thinks that he introduced Egyptian animal-worship (Eze. 8:7<\/span> seq<\/em>.), which is rendered highly probable by his relation of dependence on Necho. (Comp. the introduction of Assyrian star-worship under Ahaz.)<\/p>\n 35<\/strong>. <\/strong> Jehoiakim gave the silver <\/strong> The payment of this tribute is mentioned before the writer takes up directly the history of Jehoiakim’s reign, probably because the commandment of Pharaoh <\/strong> required him to pay the tribute as the condition of his being elevated to the throne.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n 2Ki 23:35 And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give [it] unto Pharaohnechoh.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 35.
