Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Do not weep for [the king] who has died, do not mourn for him [Yoshiyahu]. But weep for him who departs [to Egypt], for he will never return or see his native land again. ¹¹ For this is what Adonai says about Shalum the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y'hudah, who succeeded Yoshiyahu his father as king: "He has left this place, never to return; ¹² but he will die in the place where they have led him captive, without seeing this land again. ¹³ "Woe to him who builds his palace unfairly, its upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor work for free and will not give him his wages; ¹⁴ who says, ‘I will build me a spacious palace with airy upper rooms,' then makes windows and cedar panels painted with vermilion! ¹⁵ Your cedar may be excellent, but that doesn't make you a better king. True, your father ate and drank, but he also did what was right and just, so things went well with him. ¹⁶ He upheld the cause of the poor and the weak, so everything went well. Isn't that what knowing me is all about?" says Adonai . ¹⁷ "In contrast, your eyes and heart are controlled entirely by your greed, your desire for shedding innocent blood, oppressing and extorting." ¹⁸ Therefore here is what Adonai says concerning Y'hoyakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y'hudah: "There will be no one to mourn for him, ‘Oh! My brother!' or ‘Oh! My sister!' There will be no one to mourn for him, ‘Oh! My master!' or ‘Oh! His glory!' ¹⁹ He will be given a donkey's ‘burial' — dragged out the gates of Yerushalayim and thrown away [to rot].

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He shall be buried with the burial of an ass,.... Have no burial at all, or no other than what any brute creature has; which, when it dies, is cast into a ditch, and becomes the food of dogs, and the fowls of the air. The "ass" is mentioned, as being a sordid stupid creature; and such an one was this king;

drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem; as the carcass of a beast is dragged about by dogs; or as a malefactor, when executed, is dragged and cast into a ditch: this perhaps was done by the Chaldeans, who, when he was slain, dragged him along, and cast him beyond the gates of Jerusalem. So Josephus w says, that when Nebuchadnezzar entered Jerusalem, he slew the most robust and beautiful with Jehoiakim their king, and ordered him to be cast without the walls unburied; and so, though he is said to "sleep with his fathers", yet not to be buried with them, 2 Kings 24:6. Kimchi says that he died without Jerusalem, as they were carrying him into captivity a second time; and the Chaldeans would not suffer him to be buried. Jerom reports, from the Hebrew history, that he was killed by the robbers and thieves of the Chaldeans, Syrians, Ammonites, and Moabites. Some think, that as he was bound in chains, in order to be carried to Babylon, that he was had there, and there died, and after his death used in this ignominious manner: and the words will bear to be rendered, "cast forth far beyond the gates of Jerusalem" x; even as far as Babylon; see 2 Chronicles 36:6.

w Antiqu. l. 10. c. 6. sect. 3. x והשלך מהלאה לשערי ירושלם "et projiciendo procul ultra portas Hierosolymae", Schmidt. So Grotius and Gataker.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The burial of an ass - i. e., he shall merely be dragged out of the way, and left to decay unheeded. Nothing is known of the fulfillment of this prophecy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 22:19. With the burial of an ass — Cast out, and left unburied, or buried without any funeral solemnities, and without such lamentations as the above.
