For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:

For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,

But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
