Jeremiah 36:30, the similarity of which makes it probable that these were among the "many like words" which were added to the original form of the Roll (Jeremiah 36:32) as read to Jehoiakim, and would thus probably be later than the rest of the passage. The prediction was doubtless fulfilled, or it would not have been included in Jeremiah's prophecies as edited. It is true that we read 2 Kings 24:6 that Jehoiakim "slept with his fathers," but mention of his burial is significantly omitted.
