Context — Jeremiah Rewrites the Scroll

28“Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned. 29You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’

30Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.

31I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen.” 32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.

2	2 Kings 24:12–15	Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials all surrendered to the king of Babylon. So in the eighth year of his reign, the king of Babylon took him captive. As the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD. He carried into exile all Jerusalem—all the commanders and mighty men of valor, all the craftsmen and metalsmiths—ten thousand captives in all. Only the poorest people of the land remained. Nebuchadnezzar carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, as well as the king’s mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

Jeremiah 36:30 Summary

[Jeremiah 36:30 tells us that because King Jehoiakim rejected God's word, he would not have any descendants to sit on the throne of David, and his body would be thrown out and exposed to the elements, which is a reminder that our actions have consequences, as seen in Galatians 6:7-8. This verse serves as a warning to us to humbly submit to God's word and to trust in His faithfulness, as promised in Psalm 119:89. By doing so, we can avoid the kind of judgment that Jehoiakim experienced and instead receive God's blessings, as described in Psalm 1:1-3.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does God say Jehoiakim will have no one to sit on David's throne?

This is because of Jehoiakim's disobedience and rejection of God's word, as stated in Jeremiah 36:30, which is a consequence of his actions, similar to what is warned against in 1 Samuel 2:30

What does it mean for Jehoiakim's body to be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night?

This is a metaphor for the humiliation and shame that Jehoiakim will experience as a result of his actions, similar to what is described in Jeremiah 22:19, and serves as a warning to those who reject God's word

How does Jeremiah 36:30 relate to the larger story of God's relationship with His people?

Jeremiah 36:30 serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His covenant with David, as seen in 2 Samuel 7:12-16, and the consequences of rejecting God's word, as warned in Isaiah 1:20

Reflection Questions

What are some ways that I might be rejecting God's word in my own life, and what are the potential consequences of such actions?
How can I ensure that I am humbly submitting to God's word, rather than trying to reject or ignore it?
What does it mean for me to 'sit on David's throne', and how can I align myself with God's plan for His people?
In what ways can I be a faithful steward of God's word, and how can I share it with others in a way that is respectful and honoring to Him?

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 36:30

Therefore thus saith the Lord, of Jehoiakim king of Judah,.... Or, "concerning" (x) him; for Jehovah is not here said to be "the Lord of Jehoiakim", though he was, being King of kings, and Lord of

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:30

That is, none that shall be king any considerable time; Jeconiah or Jehoiachin his son was set up, but kept his throne but three months, . We no where read of the time or manner of this king’ s death, but that he had an ignominious burial, , like the burial of an ass, none accompanying his corpse, none mourning for him; and it appears from this text, that wherever he died, his body lay for a time unburied.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:30

Jeremiah 36:30 Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.Ver. 30. He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David,] i.e., None to make any reckoning of, for his son Jeconiah reigned but three months and ten days. And Zedekiah is not looked upon as his lawful successor, because he was his uncle, and set up likely by Nebuchadnezzar for a reproach to Jehoiakim aud Jeconiah; and in as great spite as once Attilus, King of Suesia, made a dog king of the Danes, in revenge of a great many injuries received by them, appointing counsellors to do all things under his title. And his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat.] This was that infamous burial of an ass wherewith he had formerly been threatened. His father Josiah was one of those few that lived and died with glory; but he did nothing less. Of Jehoiakim it may be said, as was afterwards of Ethelred, King of England, Eius vitae cursus saevus in principio, miser in medio, turpis in exitu asseritur. It was said of his life that is was savage at the start, wretched in the middle and replusive at the end. Malms., lib. ii. cap. 10.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:30

Verse 30. He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David] He shall have no successor, and himself shall have an untimely end, and shall not even be buried, but his body be exposed to the open air, both night and day. He who wishes to hide his crimes, or take away the evidence which is against him, adds thereby to his iniquities, and is sure in consequence to double his punishment. See the threatening against Jehoiakim, Jeremiah 22:19, and See Clarke on Jeremiah 22:19.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 36:30

He shall have none to sit ... - The 3 months’ reign of Jehoiakim was too destitute of real power to be a contradiction to this prediction.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 36:30

30. None to sit — The three months’ reign of Jeconiah was too trivial and insignificant to be counted.
