put him down at Jerusalem R.V. deposed him at Jerusalem. The clause answers to 2 Kings 23:33, "put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem."

condemned R.V. amerced. For "amerce" in the sense of "fine," cp. Deuteronomy 22:19; and for "condemn" in the same sense see Amos 2:8 (A.V., "fined" R.V.).
