Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 3:15

15 And the sons of Josiah were, the first-born Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum .

Of whom, at least under that Name, there is no mention in the History of the Reign of Iosiah's Sons, 2 King. 23, & 24. But in Ierem. 22. 11. there is mention of Shallum the Son of Iosiah King of Iudah, which reigned instead of Iosiah his Father. Which most conceive to be the same who is otherwise called Iehoahaz, 2 King. 23. And this seems most probable, 1. From that Phrase, he reigned instead of Iosiah; which implies that he immediately succeeded his Father; otherwise he would have been said to have reigned instead of his Brother, as Zedekiah is said to reign instead of Iehojachim, 2 King. 24. 17. because he was his next Successor. 2. From the Order of that Sermon or Discourse of Ieremiah, which was directed to Zedekiah, and his Servants, and People, as appears by Ier. 21. 1, 2, 11. & 22. 1, 2. whom he admonisheth by the Examples of the Kings his Predecessors, and of the Sentence of God concerning each of them, and that in order as they reigned; 1. Of Shallum, v. 11, &c. 2. Of Iehojakim, v. 18, &c. 3. Of Iechoniah, &c. Therefore Shallum is the same with Iehoahaz, who was the first King after Iosiah, 2 King. 23. 31. 3. From the Nature of that Prophecy, Ier. 22. 11, 12. which best agrees to Iehoahaz, who was carried Captive not so far as Babylon, but onely to Egypt a very near Country, whence the People hoped that he would speedily and easily return, or be re-established in his Throne by the King of Egypt, in opposition to the King of Babylon. 4. Because Iehoahaz was one of Iosiah's younger Sons, as appears by comparing 2 King 23. 31. 36. And this Shallum is here called his fourth Son.
