Study note

Jeremiah 22:13–23

Egypt put another of Josiah’s sons, Eliakim, on the throne in Jerusalem and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Most of the material in Jeremiah 7–20 was likely written during Jehoiakim’s reign, from 609 to 598 BC. The Lord accused him of being unfaithful and greedy, put him on trial, found him guilty, and sentenced him to death.
