In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim It is clear from Jeremiah 27:3; Jeremiah 27:12; Jeremiah 27:20that for Jehoiakimwe must read (with mg.) Zedekiah(so Syr.). The LXX omit the verse. It is a later insertion in the text either in its present form, or more probably with Zedekiah's name, as in ch. Jeremiah 28:1, whence the time-heading should probably be transposed here (see above). The substitution of "Jehoiakim" may have arisen through the influence of Jeremiah 26:1.
