Commentary

Notes on 2 Chronicles 36:7 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

2Ch 36:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

Ver. 7. Nebuchadnezzar also carried off the vessels,] viz., Some of them, for some were carried to Babylon at other times. {2Ki 24:13 Jer 52:19}

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(7) Nebuchadnezzar also carried.—And of the vessels of the house . . . did Nebuchadnezzar bring. Not mentioned in Kings, but confirmed by Dan_1:2.

In his temple.—The temple of “Mercdach, my Lord” (Bilu, i.e., Bel), whom his inscriptions so frequently mention. The great temple of Belus (Bel Merodach), which Nebuchadnezzar built, was one of the wonders of the world to Herodotus (Herod, i. 181 seq.)

7. of the vessels] There is no mention in 2 Kin. of the removal of sacred vessels during Jehoiakim’s reign. Some were carried off under Jehoiachin, the rest under Zedekiah; 2Ki_24:13; 2Ki_25:13-17. Cp. last note.

in his temple] So LXX.; 1Es_1:39 [41]; Dan_1:2. R.V. mg., “in his palace.” The Heb. word (heykâl) is a loan-word; the original (ikallu) is the ordinary word in Assyrio-Babylonian for “palace.”

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In his temple - Compare “the house of his god” Dan 1:2. Nebuchadnezzars inscriptions show him to have been the special votary of Merodach, the Babylonian Mars. His temple, which the Greeks called the temple of Behus, was one of the most magnificent buildings in Babylon. Its ruins still remain in the vast mound, called Babil, which is the loftiest and most imposing of the “heaps” that mark the site of the ancient city.

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

The vessels. Heb. and Sept. "a part of the vessels;" probably the most precious, (v. 10) breaking the rest in pieces, as he left none behind, v. 18. --- Temple of his God, Daniel i. 2.

The Pulpit Commentary

(Comp. Dan_2:2) The temple here called his temple was, no doubt, the temple of Belus, or in the vernacular "Merodach," the Babylonian god of war. This rifling of the sacred vessels of Jerusalem"s temple for Babylon"s temple was the significant beginning of the end for Judah now at last, after many a warning.

Rashi

Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi)

And some of the vessels of the House of the Lord And some of the vessels of the House of the Lord, and concerning this, Jeremiah prophesied (27:21): “For so said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels remaining, etc.” Seder Olam questions (Dan. 1:1): “In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, etc. and the Lord delivered...into his hand.” Here, however, it is apparent that it was in the eleventh year of his reign. Now what is the meaning of “in the third year”? Counting from his rebellion, for it is stated (II Kings 24:1): “and Jehoiakim was his vassal for three years, then he turned and rebelled against him” for three years, and in the third year of his rebellion, he advanced against him, and that is the eighth year of Nebuchadnezzar, for the master taught: In the first year [of his reign] he conquered Nineveh; in the second year he vanquished Jehoiakim, who served him for three years and rebelled against him for three years, and he did not reign until the fourth year of Jehoiakim, for it is stated (Jer. 25:1): “in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah - that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar.”

Discussion questions

  1. The word Nᵉbûwkadneʼtstsar carries the sense “Nebuchadnezzar.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. 2 Kings 24:1 shares the word «Nebuchadnezzar» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “Babylon” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  5. The verb «הֵבִ֥יא» is Hiphil Perfect. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
