2Ch 36:3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Ver. 3. Put him down.] And, as some think, afterwards put him to death in Egypt. Jehoahaz was but a younger brother, as is elsewhere noted, yet he would needs reign, and was soon after dethroned. He portrayed the ambitious man rightly, that pictured him snatching at a crown, and falling, with this motto, Sic mea fata sequor. See 2Ki 23:33.

Verse 3. The king of Egypt put him down] He now considered Judah to be conquered, and tributary to him and because the people had set up Jehoahaz without his consent, he dethroned him, and put his brother in his place, perhaps for no other reason but to show his supremacy.

3. put him down at Jerusalem] R.V. deposed him at Jerusalem. The clause answers to 2Ki_23:33, “put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.” Perhaps we should read the same words in Chron. The Heb. words for “deposed” and “put in bands” are liable to be easily confused.
condemned] R.V. amerced. For “amerce” in the sense of “fine,” cp. Deu_22:19; and for “condemn” in the same sense see Amo_2:8 (A.V., “fined” R.V.).

(3) And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem.—Rather, removed him. 3 Esdr. 1:33 adds “from reigning,” which is almost demanded by the context. The LXX. follows the reading of 2Ki_23:33 : “And Pharaoh-necho bound him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning (i.e., so that he reigned not) in Jerusalem “; but the Syriac and Vulg. support the existing Hebrew text. The LXX. begins the verse thus: “And he did the evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done; “and adds, after the clause about the fine, “and the king took him away to Egypt.”
Condemned the land in.—Fined the land.—So Kings: “laid a fine upon the land.”

Put him down; Hebrew, Whreysiyw i.e. deposed him (Revised Version). At Jerusalem. In something more than three months Pharaoh Necho seems to have been returning, and in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem. The parallel (2Ki_23:31) tells us that he put Jahoahaz "in bands" at "Riblath in the land of Hamath". (Eze_19:4) And condemned the land; i.e. inflicted a fine on the land; Hebrew, vn.
