Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 22:30

30 Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless , a man that shall not prosper in his dayes: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

The word translated Childless, is but thrice read in Holy Writ, and by various interpreters translated, barren, not increasing, empty, full of sorrow, wanting Children, &c. it is thought to be interpreted, by the next words, no man of his seed shall prosper sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Iudah, for there are seven of his Sons named 1 Chron. 3.17. So that he is said to be Childless, either because all his Children dyed before their Father. Or (which is most probable,) because he had no Child that sate upon the Throne, or ever had any Rulers place in Iudah, but onely some that lived in a mean condition in Captivity, amongst whom Salathiel is named, Matth. 1.12. as a Progenitor of Christ.
