Donkeys, being unclean animals, were not given proper burials. This reflects the judgment and shame upon the individual, likely King Jehoiakim, who is the subject of this prophecy. In biblical context, a proper burial was important for honoring the dead, as seen in <a href="/genesis/23-19.htm">Genesis 23:19</a> with Abraham's purchase of a burial site for Sarah. The disgraceful burial signifies divine judgment and rejection.<p><b>dragged away</b><br>The act of being dragged away implies a lack of dignity and respect. In ancient times, bodies were typically prepared and carried with care to their burial sites. This imagery suggests a violent and humiliating end, emphasizing the severity of God's judgment. It also reflects the fate of those who oppose God's will, as seen in the fate of Jezebel in <a href="/2_kings/9-33.htm">2 Kings 9:33-37</a>, where her body was left to be eaten by dogs.<p><b>and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem</b><br>Being thrown outside the gates signifies exclusion from the community and the covenant people of God. Jerusalem, the holy city, was the center of worship and God's presence. To be cast out of its gates symbolizes being cut off from God's blessings and protection. This imagery is reminiscent of the fate of those who are not part of the New Jerusalem in <a href="/revelation/21-27.htm">Revelation 21:27</a>, where only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life may enter. The gates of Jerusalem also serve as a boundary between the sacred and the profane, highlighting the ultimate rejection of the individual by God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of warning and judgment to the people of Judah.

The body of the king was "to be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost." We have no direct record of its fulfilment, but its reproduction shows that the prophet's word had not failed. The king was dragged in chains with the other captives, who were being carried off to Babylon (<a href="/2_chronicles/36-6.htm" title="Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.">2Chronicles 36:6</a>), and probably died on the journey, his corpse left behind unburied as the army marched. The phrase "he slept with his fathers" in <a href="/2_kings/24-6.htm" title="So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.">2Kings 24:6</a> cannot be pressed as meaning more than the mere fact of death. So Ahab, who died in battle, "slept with his fathers" (<a href="/1_kings/22-40.htm" title="So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.">1Kings 22:40</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - Jehoiakim's miserable death, without even the honor of burial. The prediction is repeated in <a href="/jeremiah/36-30.htm">Jeremiah 36:30</a>, where the statement is made in plain language. At first sight it appears to conflict with <a href="/2_kings/24-6.htm">2 Kings 24:6</a>, "So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead;" but it is only appearance, and when we remember that the complete formula for describing the natural death of a king of Judah is, "slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David" (<a href="/1_kings/14-31.htm">1 Kings 14:31</a>; <a href="/1_kings/15-24.htm">1 Kings 15:24</a>; <a href="/1_kings/22-50.htm">1 Kings 22:50</a>; <a href="/2_kings/8-24.htm">2 Kings 8:24</a>; <a href="/2_kings/15-7.htm">2 Kings 15:7, 38</a>; <a href="/2_kings/16-20.htm">2 Kings 16:20</a>), and that the phrase, "slept with his fathers," is used of Ahab, who fell on the field of battle (<a href="/1_kings/22-40.htm">1 Kings 22:40</a>), we are naturally led to the conjecture that Jehoiakim did not die a natural death, but fell in battle in some sally made by the besieged. <span class="cmt_word">Buried with the burial of an ass</span>;
