Footnotes

  1. 22:19 The burial of a donkey: no burial at all, except to be cast outside the city as refuse. This prophecy describes the popular feeling toward Jehoiakim rather than the actual circumstances of his burial. According to 2 Kgs 24:5 he was buried with his ancestors in Jerusalem.

19 He will have the burial(A) of a donkey—
    dragged away and thrown(B)
    outside the gates of Jerusalem.”
