In the East , a body exposed during the night would be a prey to wild animals; if any of it were left till the morning , the carnivorous birds would devour it. 2 Chronicles 36 . 6 , 2 Chronicles 36 . 8 , Jeremiah 22 . 18 , Jeremiah 22 . 19 , Jeremiah 36 . 30
Jehoiachin . As this man reigned only three months , and was a mere vassal of the king of Babylon , his reign is scarcely reckoned; and therefore Jeremiah . Jeremiah 36 . 30 says of Jehoiakim , "he shall have none to sit upon the throne of David.

eighteen years . In the parallel place , he is said to be only eight years old; but this must be a mistake , for we find that having reigned only three months , he was carried captive to Babylon , and there had wives; and had he been of such a tender age , it could scarcely have been said that , as a king , "he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord." 2 Chronicles 36 . 9
