22:10-30 This section contains a series of severe indictments against the descendants of Josiah. 22:10-12 The dead king was Josiah, who was killed by the Egyptians at the Battle of Megiddo in 609 BC. The people of Judah were not to weep or mourn his death. Their sorrow should center on Josiah’s son, whom they had chosen as the new king. After three months, King Jehoahaz was taken into exile in Egypt, where he spent the rest of his life (2 Kgs 23:1-33; 2 Chr 36:1-8).
