(9) And he did that which was evil . . .—Eze_19:5-9 refers to him, according to Keil and Ewald; but Thenius asks how, in his position, and during his brief reign of ninety (?) days, a considerable number of which must probably be allowed for the siege, he could possibly do what is there described. Hitzig refers the passage to Zedekiah; and so Thenius. Josephus calls Jehoiachin “naturally good and just;” probably misunderstanding the words of Jer_22:24; Jer_22:28.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain And he did that which was evil the sight…
And he did that which was evil the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done. (see 2Ki_23:37; and 2Ch_36:9) Josephus says that Jehoiachin was fusei crhstov kaikaiov ("Ant. Jud:," 10:7. but Jeremiah calls him "a despised broken idol," and "a vessel wherein is no pleasure". (Jer_22:28) The present passage probably does not mean more than that he made no attempt at a religious reformation, but allowed the idolatries and superstitions which had prevailed under Jehoahaz and Jehoiakim to continue. It is in his favor that he did not actively persecute Jeremiah.
