Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:25

_ _ Jeremiah lamented for Josiah, etc. — The elegy of the prophet has not reached us; but it seems to have been long preserved among his countrymen and chanted on certain public occasions by the professional singers, who probably got the dirges they sang from a collection of funeral odes composed on the death of good and great men of the nation. The spot in the valley of Megiddo where the battle was fought was near the town of Hadad-rimmon; hence the lamentation for the death of Josiah was called “the lamentation of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddo,” which was so great and so long continued, that the lamentation of Hadad passed afterwards into a proverbial phrase to express any great and extraordinary sorrow (Zechariah 12:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 35:20-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 35:25

To this day — In all their succeeding lamentations for their publick calamities, they remembered Josiah's death as their first and fatal blow, which opened the flood — gates to all their following miseries.
