Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Jeremiah 28:4

And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim... — We get here a new glimpse into the nature of the anti-Chaldæan confederacy. Zedekiah was to be deposed as too submissive to Nebuchadnezzar, and the young Jeconiah was to be brought back from his prison at Babylon, and re-established in the kingdom as the representative of the policy of resistance, resting on the support of Pharaoh-Hophra.
