Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The narrative runs parallel with 2 Kings (marginal reference) as far as 2 Chronicles 36:13. The writer then emits the events following, and substitutes a sketch in which the moral and didactic element preponderates over the historical.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXVI
Jehoahaz made king on the death of his father Josiah, and
reigns only three months, 1, 2.
He is dethroned by the king of Egypt, and Jehoiakim his brother
made king in his stead, who reigns wickedly eleven years, and
is dethroned and led captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, 3-8.
Jehoiachin is made king in his stead, and reigns wickedly three
months and ten days, and is also led captive to Babylon, 9, 10.
Zedekiah begins to reign, and reigns wickedly eleven years,
11, 12.
He rebels against Nebuchadnezzar, and he and his people cast all
the fear of God behind their backs; the wrath of God comes upon
them to the uttermost; their temple us destroyed; and the whole
nation is subjugated, and led into captivity, 13-21.
Cyrus, king of Persia, makes a proclamation to rebuild the
temple of the Lord, 22, 23.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXVI
Verse 2 Chronicles 36:1. Took Jehoahaz — It seems that after Necho had discomfited Josiah, he proceeded immediately against Charchemish, and in the interim, Josiah dying of his wounds, the people made his son king.
