son_n to_o reign_v with_o he_o that_o it_o require_v very_o good_a proof_n and_o yet_o all_o the_o proof_n that_o be_v offer_v be_v from_o jer._n 27.1_o 2_o 3._o where_o we_o read_v that_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoiakim_n the_o prophet_n be_v command_v to_o prepare_v bond_n and_o yoke_n and_o to_o send_v they_o to_o certain_a king_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o ambassador_n that_o come_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o zedekiah_n king_n of_o judah_n the_o neighbour_a king_n who_o have_v understand_v that_o zedekiah_n be_v make_v king_n three_o year_n before_o his_o father_n death_n do_v think_v that_o he_o reign_v still_o after_o his_o father_n decease_n and_o so_o send_v their_o ambassador_n to_o he_o thus_o ab._n ezra_n in_o dan._n 1._o but_o this_o interpretation_n be_v manifest_o very_o far_o fetch_v and_o therefore_o much_o time_n need_v not_o be_v spend_v in_o the_o examination_n of_o it_o all_o the_o stress_n lie_v upon_o this_o that_o ambassador_n be_v send_v unto_o zedekiah_n as_o king_n of_o judah_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoiakim_n whâch_n can_v be_v prove_v from_o that_o text._n some_o have_v think_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoiakim_n v._o â_o jehoiakim_n by_o the_o scribe_n negligence_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o text_n instead_o of_o zedekiah_n or_o however_o that_o by_o jehoiakim_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v zedekiah_n for_o they_o say_v that_o jehoiakim_n be_v a_o common_a name_n to_o all_o the_o son_n of_o josiah_n s._n hieron_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o that_o v_o 1._o belong_v to_o the_o forego_n chapter_n viz._n the_o twenty_o six_o and_o in_o no_o wise_a to_o that_o which_o follow_v in_o chap._n 27._o as_o he_o also_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o copy_n of_o the_o 72_o which_o they_o have_v then_o as_o it_o be_v want_v in_o some_o edition_n of_o that_o translation_n now_o but_o i_o shall_v wave_v all_o this_o and_o suppose_v that_o the_o content_n of_o the_o former_a part_n of_o chap._n 27_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o ieboiakim_n reign_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o ambassador_n be_v send_v to_o zedekiah_n as_o king_n of_o judah_n at_o that_o time_n for_o 1._o that_o may_v be_v give_v in_o charge_n to_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o time_n of_o jehoiakim_n which_o he_o be_v not_o to_o execute_v till_o the_o reign_n of_o zedekiah_n he_o may_v receive_v a_o command_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o one_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v and_o say_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o other_o see_v v_o 12._o of_o that_o chap._n 27._o 2._o some_o have_v think_v that_o the_o prophet_n do_v then_o present_o execute_v some_o part_n of_o that_o which_o be_v give_v he_o in_o charge_n i._n e._n he_o do_v put_v the_o bond_n and_o yoke_n upon_o his_o neck_n and_o do_v carry_v they_o though_o not_o constant_o yet_o at_o certain_a time_n during_o the_o reign_n of_o jehoiakim_n and_o jehoiakin_n and_o to_o the_o four_o year_n of_o zedekiah_n even_o fifteen_o year_n say_v r._n solom_n in_o loc._n till_o hananiah_n break_v they_o from_o his_o neck_n jer._n 28.10_o i_o can_v dismiss_v this_o interpretation_n without_o remark_v that_o kimchi_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o express_o allege_v ab._n ezra_n for_o it_o and_o yet_o do_v not_o assent_v to_o it_o but_o give_v a_o quite_o other_o exposition_n of_o jer._n 27.1_o 2_o 3._o as_o well_o as_o r._n solom_n do_v 3._o some_o think_v to_o solve_n the_o aforesaid_a difficulty_n by_o say_v that_o the_o zedekiah_n who_o succeed_v jehoiakin_n and_o be_v then_o only_o of_o the_o age_n of_o twenty_o one_o year_n be_v the_o zedekiah_n mention_v in_o 1_o chron._n 3.16_o where_o we_o read_v the_o son_n of_o jehoiakim_n jeconiah_n his_o son_n zedekiah_n his_o son_n and_o not_o zedekiah_n the_o son_n of_o josiah_n speak_v of_o v_o 15._o that_o he_o be_v zedekiah_n mention_v v._n 16._o they_o prove_v from_o 2_o chron._n 36.10_o where_o he_o be_v call_v the_o brother_n of_o jehoiakin_n but_o to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a it_o be_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o word_n brother_n in_o holy_a writ_n be_v take_v very_o frequent_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n viz._n for_o any_o kinsman_n thus_o the_o zedekiah_n who_o succeed_v jehoiakin_n be_v his_o brother_n i._n e._n his_o near_a kinsman_n for_o he_o be_v indeed_o his_o uncle_n or_o father_n brother_n we_o have_v sufficient_a warrant_n for_o this_o interpretation_n from_o 2_o king_n 24.17_o where_o this_o zedekiah_n be_v express_o call_v his_o father_n brother_n yea_o the_o seventy_o two_o and_o syr._n not_o to_o mention_v the_o vulg._n read_v not_o his_o brother_n but_o his_o uncle_n or_o father_n brother_n even_o in_o 2_o

that_o he_o be_v his_o young_a brother_n and_o then_o unless_o they_o will_v admit_v a_o vacancy_n or_o interregnum_fw-la of_o three_o or_o four_o year_n betwixt_o jehoiakin_n and_o zedekiah_n he_o can_v not_o be_v twenty_o one_o year_n old_a when_o he_o begin_v his_o reign_n for_o jehoiakin_n be_v but_o eighteen_o year_n old_a when_o he_o begin_v to_o reign_v 2_o king_n 24.8_o and_o reign_v only_o three_o month_n and_o ten_o day_n add_v hereto_o that_o the_o zedekiah_n which_o succeed_v jehoiakin_n be_v the_o son_n of_o hamutal_a 2_o king_n 24.17_o that_o hamutal_a undoubted_o which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o jehoahaz_n 2_o king_n 23.31_o final_o can_v word_n express_v more_o clear_o what_o zedekiah_n it_o be_v that_o reign_v after_o jehoiakin_n or_o coniah_n than_o those_o do_v
